Has anyone at IL2 looked at this tool? The team and community should look at this to optimize code. You can quickly give the Ai code and ask it to do adjustments based on the information you give the Ai. You can't just ask it to program in C++ and make a plane. But you can ask it to look at the code you have on all the planes and giving it the data on a new fighter it would give you the code needed to give you a beta on that fighter for testing. In seconds. PLEASE as a community reach out to me if you have any questions.

I can see a few team members could do the same work of 50 coders. 

PS to people who think you can just do this yourself and add it to the game YOU CAN"T! Unless you enjoy copyright infringement lawsuits.

The Ai can work on just about any code as long as you have the programming knowledge to ask it properly or it will not work. Here is one I will share what I did just with the RBG settings to help the game look better in VR if you are experiencing over exposure in snow maps or with the Sun. 

 

This is what the Ai suggested, and I have to say it is better. Just make a copy of your userviewerlight file under data/graphics and rename it. 

 

light0]
color = color = 220, 220, 220;
on = 1;
attach_to_camera = 0;
animated = 0;
[end]

[light1]
color = 150,150,150;
on = 0;
attach_to_camera = 0;
animated = 0;
[end]

[ambient]
color = 220,220,220;
on = 1;
attach_to_camera = 0;
animated = 0;
[end]
 

This is no different than adjusting your monitor settings with RGB and the same as changing settings in your start up file. No code here. Just something I tested, and I saw a major difference with the game visuals in VR with the HP Reverb G2. I would have never tried theses settings due to the number of combinations that are possible.

I'll try these settings out, pretty intriguing.

Use the in-game gamma to zero in each map you test. ?

 Here is a basic idea of what you can do with many programs. 

 part 2 will be the big idea of what people use to speed up small tasks when working on a part of your program.

userviewerlight.cfg is the file that controls the lights in the model viewer (bin\viewer\Viewer.exe) and is not used by the actual game and certainly not related to VR in any sense or form. Specifically the values in the .cfg correspond directly to these options found in the viewer:

Odd it does have different Hues in the game. Thanks for the information is there a way to edit that for the game? Or would you just have to work on the Sun Bloom Etc

So based on your suggestion I took my copy and turned it back into the primary for that file and took the other one and made it into a copy and went back into the game with my HP Reverb G2 and I noticed that it was extremely brighter and the light diffusing off of bright objects was very over exaggerated. I then went back to the settings I suggested and went back into the game and immediately saw a difference. How is this possible if it doesn't affect the game especially like the loading Lobby Etc? I can make a video through the goggles showing us if that will help.

Just tested two fall time maps and two winter time Maps and definitely saw a difference. I'm wondering why this is affecting VR?

Actually, a correction: userviewerlight.cfg is not used either by the viewer or the game, it is a deprecated file. The viewer uses userviewer.cfg to store its values.

 

You can easily use procmon and set this filter:

Any access to that file will be logged - running either il-2.exe or viewer.exe shows no access being made to that file. Instead if you monitor viewer.exe you can see it accessing userviewer.cfg:

Ergo: since the file is never read by any of the game's executables what you are seeing is pure placebo.

Yeah I'll definitely do through the lenses it has something to do with the lobby I guess because the white box to the tail of the aircraft changes in the overall brightness. Also I'm noticing something in the game but I will again just show you through the lens with a camera and then maybe we can figure that out if anything is happening. I will look for the other one though because I am interested in testing that.

Just to be clear: you are proposing that a deprecated file that the game never accesses is changing the picture for you in VR because you fed it to ChatGPT and it returned a changed version of it to you?

I just tested the config, I don't think I noticed any difference. There are a lot of placebo like effects with VR. I think because everything is ever so slightly different each time you put on a fresnel headset.

It was like asking it how to set your TV. But I am learning this file is not affecting the game. Please don't take this issue of what I am testing as asking away from the TOOL ChatGPT can be when looking to duplicate code from the game to improve the code to mulit-core or DX??? or even quickly allowing the code team to box out a new fighter or even allow code to be made to make it easier to run a iL2 server ect.

If you knew C++ and how to look at the bombers in this game you could do that if you took the time to understand this. But right now I'm getting the same people who hated the idea of Track iR and 80% of my graduating class who thought the internet was just for nerds. Well I didn't and I retired at the age of 45 just to run my own personal investments, So I can keep my #%%^^ you money. You don't know I enjoy it. Because it makes me laugh.

Yeah on a Pico 4, via steamVR (not openXR)

Bachelor of Science Degree in Information Systems Management and an early adopter of TrackIR, plus an MBA with an emphasis in Information Systems.

 

But yes, go on stereotyping all of us here who are pushing back against your ideas.

Seems Alexa was lost in translation ?

 

Here is the enthusiast Chat GPT response in Python code for a functional B17. Enjoy

(I copied the code into the Sublime text editor as a direct copy from ChatGPT into the post does not keep the formatting)

Huh. Here's what I got when compiling that code. Looks like it's still got a ways to go.

Which Python version have you used? ?
