Yo, check this out! Great speed boost!

Funny WoE saves .bmps in the screeenshot folder for me. But I did notice the enbseries screenshots.

 

In SF2 series you can select BMP, JPG and one other format...PNG I think.

[+Spectre_USA]

Rog on the PNG.

 

Been doing JPGs for a while now with FRAPS. PNGs are a bit smaller, and a tiny bit better, clarity-wise.

[EricJ]

Regardless I got it working in SF2:E and it's nice

[zmatt]

PNGs have several distinct advantages over .jpgs. Most of them don't make a difference for screenshots though.

Remember guys, this is really only recommended for people with video cards from 2008 or newer, and with Vista or better installed. If you don't meet those two requirements don't be suprised if your performance is lower then the previous enbseries .dll.

 

I wish it worked for me. With Vista 32 and Nvidia 9600 GT and latest drivers for my HP Dv7 laptop with this lates DLL I get:

 

-CTD with the standard autogenrated embseries.

-A white Screen with zmatt settings

 

I acquired pureblue's and Stratos' files and will try what happen

 

As a note. There are TWO embseries autogenerated, one in ROOT directory, one in FLIGHT directory. The active one is in FLIGHT directory I think

 

 

EDIT: I discovered that this NEW dll does not like combined AA on my system, which was my previous setting. With multisampling AA it works perfectly with Zmatt's settings, but I guess will work with the others as well. I like Zmatt's though so far. the question now is evaluating the tradeoff between 16X AA multisampling and the 8Xsq I was using.

In SF2, what is the filepath for:

 

1) d3d9.dll

 

and

 

2) enbseries.ini

XP, or Vista/Windows 7?

Vista Home Premium!!!!!

In the Users/xxyournamexxx/Saved Games/Thirdwire/SF2x/Flight folder

In the Users/xxyournamexxx/Saved Games/Thirdwire/SF2x/Flight folder

 

So should be right, true??

 

C:\Users\AGOSTINO\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Flight\d3d9.dll

 

and

 

C:\Users\AGOSTINO\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Flight\enbseries.ini

 

 

Another thing: for best setting about enbseries.ini??

Yes, that's the correct path for both files. Zmatt provided his settings in an earlier post in this very same thread.

Fantastic, I would like to thank you immensely!!!!

[zmatt]

To make things easier on everyone I'm thinking I may just upload my latest personal tweak of the .ini with the .dll and a readme on how to use it. That should make everyone's life easier. The way things are now the information is a bit convoluted and in different spots.

That's a great idea zmatt! Go for it!

[zmatt]

I'm putting together the readme for the upload. Can someone tell me the file path for installing in Windows XP SF2? I have Vista/7 for SF2 covered and SF1.

[Jarhead1]

Matt, jump on ICQ for a sec.

[AGOSTINO]

I wanted to know, if with the "HDR plugin", is a good idea to also use "nHancer", or change the settings in the "NVIDIA Control Panel"??

 

Possibly what settings for:

 

1) nHancer: ??

 

and/or

 

2) Manage 3d settings (Nvidia control panel): ??

It's a great idea. I have an ATI card and I don't use nHancer so I can't tell you the specifics but, I have different profiles set up in Catalyst Control center. I have one for WoX, one for HL2 and one for everything else. I enable the one I want based on the game I play just like nHancer.

 

If anyone can point me to some Nvidia control panel documentation online I can add a section in the readme on how to do this for both ati and nvidia cards.

Excuse me, zmatt!! I have some doubts about, how to install the "EMBserie_for_MSFS", in SF2 on Vista Home Premium!!

 

I must:

 

 

1) Unzip the "EMBserie_for_MSFS" on my desktop.

 

2) Put the d3d9.dll in: (C:\Users\AGOSTINO\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Flight\d3d9.dll)

 

3) Put the enbseries.ini in: (C:\Users\AGOSTINO\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Flight\enbseries.ini)

 

 

This is what I do?? Perhaps I forgot something??

Well I'm finally using SF2 after having ignored the installers for some time

 

Today I tried installing this mod, but it didn't work for me

 

My fps went from 21 to 16... too bad, I thought a 9800gtx nvidia videocard was high end

 

Maybe because I'm using WinXP ??

This is what I do?? Perhaps I forgot something??

 

I don't have SF2, but that should be the way it works. That is how the SF2 users have been doing it. I have seen where the game will overwrite the .ini and make it's own truncated one. re-copy the one form the zip there and then make it read only.
