One quick update: the first version of the "reshade DCS VR Enhancer Mod" (VREM) is alive and allowing me to disable the AH64 rotor epileptic flashing, as the TADS view in IHADSS. Of course in OpenXR VR of the MT. I'm working now on the  way to get a mask to setup label filtering and some other features. There is still a lot of work before a release.

Thanks for keeping this great mod working

[lefuneste01]

The way to copy the mask from one shader to another is working !

I need now to find a way to handle quad view, check performance, improve the way to manage settings and then re-produce the needed features from 3Dmigoto mod. What are the most important features for you ?

Are you basing this of Reshade?

For me shadow hiding, and label hiding, based on cockpit mask, helicopter blade hiding. The other one that wasn't present so more of a feature request, is is there a way of hiding heat blur, in the hud... I ask as the effect ruins the hud by causing it to blur when a heat blur effect passes in front of the hud

Yes this is a reshade addon. I did not notice the blur issue on HUD, it may be tricky to handle as Hud is drawn with alot of shader calls and is not in stencil...

For me is the ability to reduce the default haze effect in DCS.

How did I forget this!

[lefuneste01]

As I fear, the Quad View is creating issue...I need to dig but it may be tricky to handle it...

[lefuneste01]

Finally, quad view issue is solved, so there should be no more technical blocker...I just need to setup a function to reload shader code to win time, and then I'll be able start the work on migrating the mod features from 3dmigoto to Reshade !

[lefuneste01]

Label masking working, rotor hiding done for all helos (except Mi8 not worth to spend time on something you can not see), starting the work on haze.

[lefuneste01]

haze control done (wlll not be available for MSAA4x).

[lefuneste01]

Color change and sharpen done. Remains deband for water and sky, but it will need some tweaking because I do not have mask for Hud...I'll try to setup afiltering by color...not sure it will work for all case. By the way it may it may also work for the heat blur problem.

[lefuneste01]

Deband done.

I will not redo shadow disabling as before, due to the insane amount of work to identify shaders for all maps and family of objects. I found a way to do it more globally (at least for flat shadow), but I'm wondering the benefit of doing it using the mod instead of the options...The mod was not improving fps by disabling shadows, so why should I add this option again ?

Anyway, I need to check if the new version did not break anything, do real testings and maybe some optimizations...

[lefuneste01]

Everything seems working with the new version, except DLAA...It makes my mod crash. I need to dig.

[lefuneste01]

It took me much more time than expected, but DLAA and MSAA2x are now working in quad view for masking. Performance seems OK, even if I have no real metrology with the Varjo, just looking the fps in DCS.

But I still have some work now: deploy the fix for MSAA handling in sharpen and deband, clean some little things...Let's hope a release before next week end !

Seems all is OK now, I need to create the thread with explanation and so on...This is how it is looking:

The 3Dmigoto mod is now dead, long life to the Reshade VR Enhancer Mod (VREM)  !

Hey man - thanks a lot for your tireless efforts to get this great mod up and running again! I'm looking forward to giving it a spin this weekend!

Is it me or is the haze reduction feature on the VR Enhancer Mod not working?

You are right, it seems the last version broke it. I'll have a look. For next time, could you please post in the VREM thread instead of 3Dmigoto ?

Thanks so much.  Will do, I’ll post in the VREM thread next time.
