i am very sorry to ask if it has been told several times before (chance is it has), but i fly with 1280x1024 and i read on the first page that it was like that. Did anyone fix this?

 

It is so many posts to read so hoping some of you kind souls have the info on this as it looks awesome.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards

Alex

I hope i understood you right. The mod remembers the first resolution it "stores" it so you are unable to change it later. So the solution i think is to place the mod files in some temp folder, change resolution and return them back. I fly in 1440*900 with this mod and have no problems

Thanks mate!

 

Before i read your post i tried to change the resolution in the graphics.cfg and it worked. But the loading screen looks funny though and the "start fly" window is a bit off. But it works.

 

Will test your idea as well. Thanks a lot. :)

When changing the resolution don't forget to change aspect also. When playing in 1280*1024 i had aspect set to 1.3. In 1440*900 i changed it to 1.6 and every thing worked fine

I missed that update Exelsior thanks for filling me in. Here's the DX9 version for any of the Black Shark beta testers that would like to try and play around with it. Hopefully all the features should work, like colour saturation, motion blur, ambient occlusion and hopefully the water and shadows too. Im not saying they will all work because they don't all work in rFactor or GTR2 but it's worth a try for the colour saturation at least.

 

 

Well I got this to work in BlackShark... not very well yet, it will take some tinkering.

 

I unzipped into the bin/stable folder, and then had to press shift f12 in game to start it up...It is an FPS HOG!!! read: halved my FPS.

 

Not sure its gonna be worth it, but will tinker with it more tommorrow.

 

Thanks again for the link!!

For some unknown reason the screenies I took did not show up in the screenshot folder; However give me a bit and I'll post a vid on youtube.

 

 

Here ya go, excuse the poor excuse of a video, next one will be much better.

 

Notice I turn the mod on at the start of the vid... my fps drops 15 from that, and 5-10 from fraps, which halves my 40-50 frames!! ouch...

I cant remember what .ini i was using for that vid, and I havent tweaked it to suit me just yet (been too busy this last week)

 

I suggest using the intensive one, and changing a few things to balance between intensive and soft...

 

BTW, i discovered by turning off everything but the bloom, I'm only getting a hit of 5fps.

 

Gonna work on this some more tonight.

So here's my current .ini file... should be close to where i keep it. I will probably turn bloom off for the darker, rainer missions, but keep the mod activated as it gives a rich, dark colour to BS.

I cannot get any screens to upload for some reason?

 

I'm trying to upload a quick vid of a couple OH-58's blowing away a convoy; hopefully I can get it onto youtube before i leave for work. This mod is amazing: Really hard to capture with Fraps, my FPS is 25% better without fraps running, so if you see some stuttering, keep that in mind. Maybe I can set affinity to different cores... anybody have any suggestions on making movies... I capture by saving a track first.

Here's a vid of HDR working in BlackShark.... It's subtle, and like I said before, I use this mod more for the colour it gives...

 

I'll post a vid later of the Ka50, with maybe a little more bloom.

 

 

I have opened a new thread in the DCS BlackShark Mod forum provided;

 

Cheers!

nobody can..

 

Guys..

if you set this (red highlighted)

BloomPowerDay=10

to 7 the bloom is much more acceptable levels without losing the effect

 

And i noticed that if you use "nv4_disp.dll" as renderer instead of lockon's default, effects are much more "sharp?" dont know the word in english exactly.. but better...

 

Edit: I use LCD monitor. Dont know the effect on CRT

 

 

G'day all,I just started playing with this mod(which is bloody fantastic btw!)and this caught my eye as the only down side to it that i can find is that it tends to"soften"the whole picture a bit,I can certainly live with this but if there is a way to fix it then I'd love to try it.

 

This sounds like it may address the problem but I'm very much a noob at this stuff and this looks one of those things that could be trickier then it looks so if anyone knows what Yeniceri means by this any advice would be most welcome :D

 

thanks in advance

After trying for several times, I get the following screenshots with which I think I am happy. I have to say it is a very subjective feeling, so it is not surprising that many people have different opinions

What file and values did you use? Look pretty good.
