Remember Enbseries? I just found something new and it works under Dx10. Its called SweetFX, here is link:

 

http://www.guru3d.co...e_download.html

 

Download and drop everything from archive to 'flight' catalog. You modify effects in SweetFX_settings.txt file

 

ie.

change #define USE_BLOOM and #define USE_HDR from 0 to 1 etc.

 

before

after

img00162.jpg

 

before

img00178.jpg

 

after

img00179.jpg

 

this mod need some tweaking, effects/colors are too strong sometimes but I think it may be useful if someone is bored with TW bland colors style.

The old dx9 enbseries gave a noticeable boost in frame rates, are you getting an fps increase with this mod?

No, rather not, I have quite old system btw so maybe it depends. But I didnt notice any dropdowns using this mod too.

Hmm. I better look into this. I always wished the creator of the enbseries would do one for DX10. I'll d/l this and learn this. You guys might see another HDR Mod from me ;)

Ugh I forgot to add that these files, (some of them?) should be placed in main game folder too, there where are exes.

 

here is my little attempt,

I can't get this to work, should I put the files into my modfolders flight folder or mainfolder flight? Also, is there anything else I need to do?

Put into main thirdwire folder on C:prog files\\\

I added it and used ur settings above on win7 ulti x64 and soon as click fly...crashes to desktop.

Unzip these files in both places - main game folder, there where are exes, and in Flight folder (C:\Users\*NAME*\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Flight)

 

and you need tweaking just this one "settings" file in the Flight folder. It seems that there is no need to modyifing this second in main game catalog.

I also needed to put the files in the menu folder in the modfolder, then it works

Yeah I'm running 64bit Win7, works ok. To be safe i extracted the files to main game folder, and to modfolder flight and menu folders.

Here are my settings that I've fiddled with. I toned down the HDR but added a faint vignette.

  /*-----------------------------------------------------------.
 /					  Choose effects						 /

// Set to 1 for ON or 0 for OFF
#define USE_SMAA_ANTIALIASING 1 //[0 or 1] SMAA Anti-aliasing : Smoothens jagged lines.
#define USE_LUMASHARPEN   1 //[0 or 1] LumaSharpen : Also sharpens the antialiased edges which makes them less smooth -
I'm working on fixing that.
#define USE_BLOOM		 1 //[0 or 1] Bloom : Makes bright lights bleed their light into their surroundings (relatively
high performance cost)
#define USE_HDR		   1 //[0 or 1] HDR : Not actual HDR - It just tries to mimic an HDR look (relatively high
performance cost)

three-strip color process (Techicolor Process 4)
#define USE_DPX		   1 //[0 or 1] Cineon DPX : Should make the image look like it's been converted to DXP Cineon -
basically it's another movie-like look similar to technicolor.

the pixels depending on their original saturation.

#define USE_VIGNETTE	  1 //[0 or 1] Vignette : Darkens the edges of the image to make it look more like it was shot
with a camera lens. May cause banding artifacts.
#define USE_DITHER	    0 //[0 or 1] Dither : Applies dithering to simulate more colors than your monitor can display.

Thanks for the hint, ArturR

 

Installed it in all my SF2 installations and its working quiet nice so far. Let me ask just one simple question:

 

If I change a value in the settings.txt, do I have to copy it to all folders where I put it in, i.e. the main installation, flight and menu folder?

 

Thanks for any advice

Is there a document explaining all of the settings? Haven't look at the SweetFX site yet.

the above is for the file SweetFX_settings.txt in your MODS/Flight folder, this seems the only one that needs to be modified

Centurion-1, I also had to install to my 1)Main, 2)ModFlight, and 3)ModMenu folders, same as you. My Main install is on a different (F:) drive than default; yours too? I wonder if that's why some of us only need it in Flight and others in Flight and Menu. What about the rest of you guys? Are your Main installs on C:?

C:\ in main installation folder, it's /Flight and in mod install/Flight/ the last holds the ini used ingame

Hmmm, I seem to have an unusual issue with mine........

 

I applied the app to all areas as suggested (I have Win7-64-bit) but when I launch my flight / mission, the loading screen has another smaller loading screen within it, as does the aircraft in game.

It's the same as what you get in the FSX 'mini view' when you hit the [ ]'s key.

 

Removed all of the files from the game last night and that fixed it. Would like to get it working though, because those shots DO look considerably better.

 

Thanks,

 

Andrew.

      View File SweetFX Tweak for WOFFue (for Bucksnort SweetFX Package)
      Hello fellow WOFFue flyers,
      Please find included with this post a very small package that includes my SweetFX settings file and d3d8 initialization files - this is a tweak of the settings file located in the JSGME-friendly Bucksnort SweetFX mod. that is/was available for WOFFue (see the relevant thread for WOFFue on the SimHQ forum for more download info. regarding SweetFX ver. 1.5.x and/or Bucksnort's JSGME-friendly patch: https://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4580409/re-sweetfx-for-woff-ue-mod#Post4580409).
      Once you've downloaded the Bucksnort package (or SweetFX ver. 1.5.x and made it JSGME-friendly), read the directions included in the "Read Me" file in my package for how/where to copy over my settings file - which should give greater vibrancy, sharpness, and also very subtle bloom in WOFFue. Works particularly well on AMD cards but should work on any graphics card. See the pics. included with this post for a good example of improved grass color, among other things, with the SweetFX tweak.
      Happy flying,
      Von S 
      NOTE: These SweetFX tweaks only work with WOFF (Ultimate Ed.) up to ver. 4.18 or 4.21. The latest patches for the Ultimate Ed. (vers. 4.22, 4.24, etc.) - have changed the way shaders/shader calls work in WOFF - and SweetFX no longer works. SweetFX also doesn't work with the Platinum Ed. and BH&H2. Recommended instead for WOFF vers. 4.22 and later is ReShade and relevant, WOFF/WOTR-friendly ReShade presets.

      Hello fellow WOFFue flyers,
      Please find included with this post a very small package that includes my SweetFX settings file and d3d8 initialization files - this is a tweak of the settings file located in the JSGME-friendly Bucksnort SweetFX mod. that is/was available for WOFFue (see the relevant thread for WOFFue on the SimHQ forum for more download info. regarding SweetFX ver. 1.5.x and/or Bucksnort's JSGME-friendly patch: https://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4580409/re-sweetfx-for-woff-ue-mod#Post4580409).
      Once you've downloaded the Bucksnort package (or SweetFX ver. 1.5.x and made it JSGME-friendly), read the directions included in the "Read Me" file in my package for how/where to copy over my settings file - which should give greater vibrancy, sharpness, and also very subtle bloom in WOFFue. Works particularly well on AMD cards but should work on any graphics card. See the pics. included with this post for a good example of improved grass color, among other things, with the SweetFX tweak.
      Happy flying,
      Von S
