Stary

it works in NF5

nope, work with AntiAliasing=8 in options.ini for me

Been away for a while, great screens and works here guys! great work on this new Raptor, and Julhelm's cockpit is master

we can make switchable nightvision googles from this you know... here are my standard settings I use at the moment: /*-----------------------------------------------------------. / 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) #define USE_TECHNICOLOR 1 //[0 or 1] TECHNICOLOR : Attempts to mimic the look of an old movie using the Technicolor three-strip color process (Techicolor Process 4) #define USE_DPX 0 //[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. #define USE_LIFTGAMMAGAIN 0 //[0 or 1] Lift Gamma Gain : Adjust brightness and color of shadows, midtones and highlights (avoids clipping) #define USE_TONEMAP 0 //[0 or 1] Tonemap : Adjust gamma, exposure, saturation, bleach and defog. (may cause clipping) #define USE_VIBRANCE 1 //[0 or 1] Vibrance : Intelligently saturates (or desaturates if you use negative values) the pixels depending on their original saturation. #define USE_CURVES 0 //[0 or 1] Curves : Contrast adjustments using S-curves. #define USE_SEPIA 0 //[0 or 1] Sepia : Sepia tones the image. #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 1 //[0 or 1] Dither : Applies dithering to simulate more colors than your monitor can display. This lessens banding artifacts (mostly caused by Vignette) #define USE_SPLITSCREEN 0 //[0 or 1] Splitscreen : Enables the before-and-after splitscreen comparison mode. /*-----------------------------------------------------------. / SMAA Anti-aliasing settings / '-----------------------------------------------------------*/ #define SMAA_THRESHOLD 0.12 // [0.05 to 0.20] Edge detection threshold #define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS 16 // [0 to 98] Determines the radius SMAA will search for aliased edges #define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS_DIAG 6 // [0 to 16] Determines the radius SMAA will search for diagonal aliased edges #define SMAA_CORNER_ROUNDING 0 // [0 to 100] Determines the percent of antialiasing to apply to corners. // -- Advanced SMAA settings -- #define COLOR_EDGE_DETECTION 1 // [0 or 1] 1 Enables color edge detection (slower but slightly more acurate) - 0 uses luma edge detection (faster) #define SMAA_DIRECTX9_LINEAR_BLEND 0 // [0 or 1] Using DX9 HARDWARE?

same here Dave, but the trace, it's a political thing now at play... many people here want to see this as assasination which would be pointless, Kaczyński was running on heavy anti-Russia nostalgia, yes, but he got what, like 12 percent of popularity at the time, his twin brother got the most, go think bout it..

seen the raport? heard the cockpit records? It was big crew f*** up till the end of it, see no room for ACME-into-Wolf's-face time on the other hand, that paper it's in is a known reputable one, so I'm at loss here

all the bodies mix-up, it's growing on me now... I was hunting for it, the info, seen all the s**t, all the bodies, our President's too, still, can't think of reason someone could do this, it would be pointless, as simple as it is

frankly, what buggers me I can't think of motive there

Polish prosecutors found traces of Trinitrotoluene and trinitroglycerin in the wrack of Tu-154M... big f*** up it gonna be... and no I NEVER thought it was hack job or something, but it's getting nasty now http://wiadomosci.onet.pl/kraj/katastrofa-smolenska/w-tu-154m-odkryto-slady-materialow-wybuchowych,1,5291329,wiadomosc.html

How does one? Goes crazy. Period

^just to stir the pot

mesh hole so it's not fixable at the moment? Wasn't that Oli's creation?

Tony (if I may so) ALOT of people still refuses to move to series two for various reasons, so it's ok, I know that system I write from now wouldn't run it for example so the users are somehow dependent on their station's performance etc

except for 17 reasons SF2 is better than "the series 1", but if you're happy with it... It kinda makes me nostalgic, thinking about the SF days, so be happy!

Very nice! This one is still in the workshop:

.

still, masochist (and it's a premiere example how to write a review)

we all remember...

I wish maybe in the future Thirdwire would lean towards Air Navy Fighters type of game... just saying (opinion based on lite version of ANF only)

Great review Harold, well written, covering all aspects of the app! 100% agree, guns-on-guns are lot of spray and pray tactics but the missiles makes gamer think before release

Harold let me shamelessly quote myself here: edit: above goes as far as explanation to Umut's old_vs_new experiences too...

It's a great pit FC, I plan in fact to use it in one project -with all the kudos to you Harold, of course, can I beg for green light?

I call false? As numerous others still available on the market can have both the properly-rendered-to-false-infinity-restriced-to-combiner and fully-floating ones as I call these. Note to self: Must re-check FC2.0 and DCS on this (fly with cockpits on)

see, new "terrain" is not really a terrain, it's just "nice" mesh you can run into and go boom, apparently not threated as one by game logic system... (it's porked) just saying
