The "darkness" is a effect in my mod. It simulates the positioning of the sun. My first attempt caused the whole game world to be darken. I had made a small discovery in the ini file to try to make a FE HDR mod again. IMHO it looks great, like in my SF2 mods. You should look at my SF2 HDR threads in the mods section of SF/SF2 discussion area, think most of you guys don't understand what I am trying to do in FE with this mod. Anyrate, I'll upload it here... First Eagles HDR Mod .99A.7z Falcon

Okie Dokie, #3 it is then. Should upload it in few hours. Want to work on the First Eagles version first. Latest shots I put up in the FE forum didn't receive any response what so ever. Falcon

From the lack of response, I say you guys don't like the look. Back to the blackboard I guess... Falcon

So you like test #3 ini the best or test #2? Or should I zip them both in a package? Falcon

We will not forget ever!

How is it coming along guys? Just wondering if there's any problems. Do you guys like test #2 better or what? Just checking to see if I can upload this mod in the downloads section yet. Falcon

OK, same deal with the ATI open beta. This is for high end computer users who got high end cards starting with 8800GTX 768MB. To get best results with my mod, you have to set the in-game graphics to high/unlimited. Don't worry, you'll get good frame rates with this too. I'm gonna post up a screenie and the update. Please use this thread to post any finding/opinions/constructive criticism. Thank you HDR Mod 1.01A Beta.7z Falcon

Just wondering if my mod is working ok so I can upload it in the downloads section. Any bugs or anything?? Falcon

Yes I did. I'll test it tomorrow again. Falcon

Hey Stary, Does the seasons work in single missions? The seasons would not appear, like in December and etc. Did I miss a installation step somewhere? Falcon

Can you post a screenie of your problem? Falcon

OK, made the shadows more defined, by 2%. I hopefully made the cockpit bit brighter. Again this is for high end computer users with high end ATI cards. I'm gonna post up screenshots and the update here. HDR Mod ATI Test 3.7z Falcon

Heh, I'm on YOUTUBE! Within few hours, I'll be u/ling a bit darker ATI test. Wanna see if I can make the shadows bit more defined. BTW showed my mother this vid hehehe. Falcon

I'll be releasing a new HDR mod open beta for nvidia cards soon. I fixed the dark cockpit and tweaked few things. Expect to see it within few hours. Falcon

WOW man, those look good. And nice kill Falcon

Thanks! turning to the big 4 0 this 15th. Falcon

I'm thinking of improving my HDR mod because I heard small complaints of being too dark. For the those who uses my mod, what's your opinion of the mod? Is it too dark in some angles or no? Most of the complaints came from seeing the screenshots by the way. Falcon

OK cool. Hope you'll test out the alternate one too. Its less bright and the shadows are more defined. Falcon

Ahh thanks. I got too many mods can't keep track who made them Falcon

I'm releasing an beta of the FE HDR Mod for you guys to test out. It includes an readme explaining to install it and the problems of it so far. Please use this thread for opinions/constructive crictism of this beta. Thanks for helping out, appreciate it Falcon First Eagles HDR Beta .99.7z PS. This is for testing on all computers but the settings were configured on a high end system/card.

Looks different to me guys but with your comments I decided to wait until TK releases FE in the SF2 engine. Falcon

More shots with ATI version of my HDR mod. F-4E ARN-101's on strike against a airfield Oyster 4 coming home That's me coming home too Another shot of my F-4E ARN-101 FC's F-5 looks great with the HDR Mod IMHO Hope you guys enjoyed the shots. Falcon

Actually dude, that's what a tracer does when fired. It leaves a faint smoke trail. Falcon

I don't know if any of you have been following my HDR mod for the SF2 series but I am tweaking it for FE. There are brightness problems with the terrain but I think I found the right shadow definement. Check these screenshots out. Keep this mind though, my HDR mod is intended for high end computers with high end video card. But I'm working on an high end ATI card version and a medium end mod for medium end computers/cards. I'll keep you guys informed if you guys are interested... Falcon

OK. I think I found the right balance of lighting/shadowing. Took screenshots to share. Enjoy. Line of Spads I think this shot is beautiful A SE5a in flight A smoking Alb III going down. (Note: I didn't change the effect in anyway.. It is caused by the angle of the lighting.) A SE5a at base Same SE5a at a different angle I'll test it few more times before I need beta testers to test it on their systems. I'll keep you guys informed... Falcon
