Thanks for introducing me to this Peter, loving the beauty that this brings to the terrain!

I just hate HDR.. something else must be done. Great on light .. not as good on shades

 

We need Dynamics lights not HDR.

Maybe using HDR name for the DCS serie isn't the right thing.

Proper HDR support for multimonitor's would be the bees knees. :music_whistling:

Just tried it, and that's a good change! I keep it!

Never really liked HDR in other sims, cause they usually change colors too...sometime a very weird way (i.e in ROF).

At first, DCS stock HDR didn't give me good results, or at least something i wasn't expecting.

But your mod (again) solved it! :thumbup:

It's even probably the best HDR i ever experienced.

I can't get this to work in 1.2.6. Atleast not as I remembered it (which was very good):

Hi,

 

I am going to install this no-blurr HDR tonight for the P-51D for use in Multiplayer. I was told to use Modman with the latest updates to install it, extract it to: DCS World\bin . I have never used it. Supposedly I will be able to find the no-icon bogies easier using it.

 

[edit]

Installed it manually on a modded copy of DCS World, what I use to experiment with.

 

I see the sun is smaller, looking at it, maybe not so bright. Easier to see bogies in the Dogs of War server? Not sure yet. The sky is still hazy.

Hi, sorry if it has been asked already, but how should I set HDR in Options menu for this mod to work as intended? Thanks :)

[Chazz_BMF]

Does this work for 1.2.7?

[snuffles]

Any way to change the intensity on the fly? Like, if I am flying with my sunvisor down?

[epokha]

I get a strange thing with this mod in 1.2.7 I see a red flash then everything goes darkish for about 15 seconds. After that it will slowly go back to normal. Just a minor thing, but strange. Like the pilot is having a acid flashback or something.

[RagnarDa]

Might be related to the broken G-effects. Did you pull negative G when it happened? It doesn't need to be much.

[epokha]

I didn't notice if I was pulling negative G or not. I'll watch out for that next time.

On another note:

 

Since 1.2.6 it is not possible any more to adjust the colourshift of DCS because the HDR.lua is missing... (EDIT !), so I started to use SweetFX .

Boy! I could slap myself that I haven't used It earlier....

- and I highly advise to do the same for all of you.

 

See this comparison of my settings - it adds more vivid colours/contrast and removes this "grey dust" and also sharpens the textures. :

 

 

I added a copy'n'paste ready SweetFX version for 64bit systems with my settings to make it easy for you.

 

Read here how to tweak/configure it:

Please don't start a discussion about the "right" settings in this thread -please use this one: SweetFX for DCS ??

 

After using this sweetfx with ur hdr mod, my fps dropped from 40+(ur hdr only) to only 20.

I would like to know the same thing..anyone?

[Spetz]

Although this does work for 1.2.10 you do have to alt-tab at times to reload shaders. Are there any plans to update this great mod?

Considering that EDGE will almost certainly make it completely obsolete, I doubt PeterP will do anything with it in the near future.

[rcjonessnp175]

oh i can guarantee you the modders like these guys will make the cartoon looking graphics of edge look more realistic and epic like some have with this older engine. Best thing about PC is the MOdders, make games 100 times better keep up good work!

Pretty harsh words for something that is, as yet, unreleased and that you haven't seen running, in person. Just sayin' ...

[rcjonessnp175]

To many thin skinned peeps around here, I fully support the modders and will always say their work will surpass those of developers. The current screen shots and videos of edge it looks to vibrant and not realistic as far as the lighting and color grading goes. But that's what is great again about modders and something like sweefx, you can tweak it till your perceived perfection.

I really hope they get the global illumination dialed in better especially for Nevada. As of now it looks like a cartoon

 

So if you've seen videos of a10c flying around in real world Nevada you will notice a yellowish gradient in the colors, not the blue gradient currently seen in the screen shots and videos. I imagine their will be settings to tweak aka HDR like we currently have. But that isn't enough for the current engine.

PeterP, thanks for this great mod, but i have really hard times making it work on multi-monitors in 1.2.16(( i got two 8' lilliputs for my MFCDs (vertical screen arrangement) and i have set up total resolution of my desktop which is 1920x1680 in MonitorSetup .lua

 

i have read your Proper Neck guide but the questions is this:

what file and line should i edit to alter my viewpoint to fit this resolution?

will it also correct external view viewpoint?

 

also i cant totally understand this "black background" method, i need some black layer behind MFCDs to hide moving background and have read posts about "black polygon" but can't figure out how to do it(

 

thank you very much for your skill and effort!

 

UPD: sorry for disturbing, UltraMDCS mod have solved all my problems with your mod!
