Thanks @lefuneste! Don't worry if you can't do it, I'll have a play around with the settings. I didn't notice changes to the radar display going between sharpen cockpit only and sharpen cockpit + exterior, but I also wasn't specifically looking for that.

I might also want to test sharpening exterior anyway, even if it creates shimmer, in case it improves spotting of contacts especially against the ground. FXAA smudges out dots at long distance so that's a no-go in any case, even if it didn't blur the radar.

I tested with the M2000:  it seems to me that radar is sharpened as cockpit. You can try by setting cockpit luma to zero, or putting negative value for sharpen (that will make the parts sharpened blurried).

Here's a screenshot with 0 cockpit luma, it doesn't affect the symology on the radar (lines, contacts, range numbers etc.), and neither does the sharpening as far as I can tell.

Hello, that's funny : here is a screenshot of my M2000 (in 2D, but it should be the same shaders than in VR). The radar is part of cockpit...

Can you post a track ? Maybe some mode have specific shaders..

@lefuneste01that is indeed very funny!

I am using the SIMPLEX version of Kegety's mod, which is listed in the first post as compatible. Maybe that's interfering with this module spcifically?

I am also using this cockpit mod:

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3303537/

but I turned it off to test and that didn't seem to be the cause. I attached a short track but it doesn't show much, the luma changes aren't recorded.

Same as before for me.

So you should try to do a full repair as explained in troubleshooting guide of first post and check again.

The sharpening effect does not work, someone else happens to it. In fact I see only one option for interior cockpit and luma sharpening, I don't see another option for exterior or general sharpening.

I managed to get the sharpening to work by modifying the .ini directly without going through the configuration interface. What I do see is that adding sharpering also applies it to the hud and it starts to flicker. Is there any way to avoid that? with the reshader when applying the sharpering it does not modify the hud.

Last update of open beta.. Migoto loaded will make the screen in 3D world to be white. Unloading it will make crash DCS world. Don't know how to make it work again.

How dis you remove the mod ? Is d3d11.dll still in the folder where dcs.exe is ?

The mod is not modifying any game file. As soon as d3d11.dll is removed there is no more link between the game and the mod, so ifyou still have issue it should be linked to something else, another mod maybe. In this case do a full repair.

I managed to make it work without migoto.. and it is migoto the problem to appear white the screen in VR or in monitor mode. If I remove it then everything is correct. Don't know if other people has the same problem.

edit: it is not totally white. You can see some lines of the 3D so it is like over exposed everything. With last verson of Migoto tested.

Not a problem I am seeing.

[lefuneste01]

The new beta break the mod, all features based on masking are down and a white screen is diplayed when in MSAA and sharpen is on. As a first workaround, disable sharpen.

I already fixed the masking, but I am still trying to understand the white screen...

[Japo32]

it is not totally a white screen. It is like a line cartoon rendering of 3D border lines without any color. Just white. It is more clearly visible in VR than in monitor. So it is as an oversposed brighness thing

[speed-of-heat]

Is it perhaps related to FXAA which I don't use?

 

[Ericcaff]

Guys for me the same problem after last beta update DCS 2.7.18.30348 Open Beta mod Sharpness+FXAA is broken  all screen is white, only menu window work same as before, try reinstall mode nothing change, mod work only if you turn off Sharpness option, hope this will be fixes soon, because this is most option what I need from this mode.

Does this mod remove bloom?

With more sharpness and color saturation, for me picture looks way better more colors, clear cockpit, clear MFDs, less bloom. Tell you short, for me with correct Mod settings picture looks more live.

Hello, I found the last issue and should provide a new version of the mod during week end at last.

[Solemn-laugh]

Hey @lefuneste01,

I love your mod THANK YOU!

Semi-related question for you (or anyone else who might have an answer). I notice you use a loader so your mod works with open composite. There's another 3Dmigoto-based mod I'd like to use (with open composite) for a different VR app (https://edhm-ui.herokuapp.com). Is it easy to configure a loader to make that work with open composite? Something a non-coder like me could cut and paste? As you can see, I've no idea how these things work – just grateful there are people who do. Thanks

You are the best, thank you very much, very waiting it.

version 16.6 available in first post,

• comptibility with 2.7.18.30348

I did not test it too much, thanks for your feedbacks.

[Nightstorm]

Thanks for updating this so quickly.

 

FYI, the loader section was commented out, at least in the OpenXR verion of the d3dx.ini.  To enable it just remove the ";" in front of the lines so that it looks like this:

 

[Loader]
; This tells the loader where to find 3DMigoto. This DLL must be located
; in the same directory as 3DMigoto Loader.exe and will be loaded in the target
; process under the same name. If d3d11.dll doesn't work try 3dmigoto.dll
module = d3d11.dll
target = DCS.exe
