Sweet FX allows you to edit and apply post process special fx to your games, for example bloom, realistic lighting, saturation and colour vibrance, old film grain fx etc etc. With the correct settings for your monitor and graphic card, you can transform how your game looks.

If you add this text to the Target section of the shortcut to TrackIR, it will start TrackIR with a high priority and for me, this makes a huge difference to the smoothness:

You will need the Sweet FX 64 bit files from HERE. Geert post a screenshot of what you see now and what you see when you've got Sweet FX working!

@aceviper - how could you have no textures if all you did is copy four textures to four different zipped folders? Copying textures to a folder won't remove textures. Please note that this mod is not JSGME compatible. As mentioned in the READ ME FIRST, you need to manually install these textures. Good luck.

You're right, the hud oval shape is a higher resolution. The HUD text is high enough resolution for me, no need to change.

see first post diveplane. all taken with sweet fx on.

Thanks Jay, You need to download Sweet FX from here. Then unzip the files to the BIN folder in the DCS World folder. When you've done that, copy my Sweet FX Settings to the BIN folder and overwrite the original. It's an easy to use and very stable add-on for post effects processing. Good luck! Toby

You might need to remove the english cockpit textures folder to make it work...

How low do you want to go? The effect works from about 200 feet and up (see screenshots on page one) Below that, I recommend grass clutter and a decent noise_small file. You can use the attached one. Drag and drop it onto your LandTextures.zip file here -> C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Terrain\vfstextures noise_small.bmp.dds.zip

EDIT - This post can now be removed. Thank you.

This texture mod will alter the shape of the Helmet Mounted Sight. It it based on a photo of a real Ka-50 pilot's helmet. Download this mod from HERE . .

Glad to see a fellow mipper trying to get things done right :) Zaelu, see if you can get the ABRIS files mipped. I've been trying but the sim won't display DDS files correctly on the ABRIS. Location > C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit\Resources\IndicationTextures All ABRIS files.

This mod works great with DTAC's trees, there are no conflicts but I advise against installing the r_for_t.tga.dds files as this will create dark shadows under the tree areas that don't fit with my ground textures, just use the default ones.

I don't notice any performance hit at all and here's a couple of screenshots from Mission 4 Vergeev Campaign to keep you entertained :) I edited out a small part of the textures today that ruined the smooth tiling effect from higher altitudes but I haven't uploaded the update yet. I'm still trying to get the towns and villages colour matched to the rest :) Screenshots have been resized and compressed for uploading.

c'mon diveplane, I'm using your sound mods... just give it a go! :) I asked people to post screenshots but I guess we're all too busy flying! There is no FPS hit at all. The original textures are 5mb, mine are 10mb. Sweet FX will give you a performance hit if you use Bloom for example.

Does anyone know how I can move the monocle position in DCS Black Shark? I want to move it over the right eye, like in the attached shot. It gets in the way of the hud in the centre of the screen. Thanks, Toby

Original post updated with new screenshot and Sweet FX Settings to improve image quality.

As much as I would like to use the most up to date version, I did a rollback install to 1.2.5 afer a complete reinstall of 1.2.6 (yawn) and everything is working as it should again...

After the 1.2.6 patch broke my working 1.2.5 install, I did a complete uninstall and fresh reinstall of 1.2.6 and now I cannot do an automatic start (LWIN+HOME) in any aircraft. Automatic shutdown works fine. This isn't the only keyboard shortcut affected. Any ideas?

3 kids and a wife who supports my hobbies... Heaven.

Thx Skate, Too bad I only saw your post after uninstalling 1.2.6 because of so many problems.

Hi zaelu, Great post... There is a noise texture being applied but I haven't been able to find it...yet. It adds seasonal colour (in random spots) and makes the textures look milky. When I find it, I will be able to control much more how the textures appear.
