I tried the new tool FlightFX and it worked great...very simple to install and to change settings. The game looked fantastic and as an added bonus I was seeing contacts a hell of a lot clearer (I used the stock quick mission (German attack bridge) as a test and I was seeing enemy flights I had never seen before after hundreds of previous playthroughs).

All was seemingly sweet.

Then I tried to test it out on ATAG and the problems started...as soon as I loaded teamspeak, the game would lock up and eventually I got a launcher crash. Teamspeak itself would work and I could communicate with people but the game wouldn't work.

After a series of tests, it appears FlightFX and TS3 don't want to work together on my system.

1. FlightFX disabled and without TS - ok
2. FlightFX enabled and without TS- ok
3. FlightFX disabled and with TS - ok
4. FlightFX enabled AND with TS - crash!!

Anyone else having similar problems?

I'd love to have the better looking game (especially the visibility improvement) whilst flying online!!

Naz, SweetFX does not seem to like overlays. If you are having problems with T/S make sure you disable the plug in that displays names on screen as they speak. You'll still be able to use T/S just not the overlay.

Ohh...If I enable Split Screen(=1) in the FX Settings, I do get split screen (diagonal split), with one side showing dramatically improved/enhanced color intensity which I assume is the result of my FX Setting choice(s).

Also, I have tried three different keys for "Reload Shaders" and none has had any effect whatsoever.

Bottom line: I do not seem to be able to implement/apply Sweet FX settings/options.

P.S. I've never used Sweet FX before.

Any advice?

Hi DoolittleRaider,
Not sure if this is relevant but, I also used the ScrLK key and noted that in some of the readme files of previous versions it states to make sure the FLock key is engaged/disengaged before pressing the ScrLK as it may not work. This happened to me and after pressing the FLock key once, the ScrLK has worked since.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

PS: This program works great for COD. excellent GUI so I don't have to go into the .txt file and mess around with numbers.

Can you explain why the split screen option (and all other settings besides "Custom") is not available when one selects an SMAA Preset of, for example, "SMAA PRESET HIGH" or "SMAA PRESET ULTRA"?

Also, what does the "Improve Steam Overlay Compatibility" option do?

Doolittle raider can you email me about your use of this before I install? Tanks!

Rgr that James; will EMail you soon. I finally got most of the GUI working by some experimental 'troubleshooting', trial-and-error fumbling around, and with some advice, specifically over at the RoF forum.

I still have some confusion over certain aspects of the GUI....and, of course, I have very little to NO understanding of the scores of Setting options, so I have spent hours changing and tweaking and experimenting, jumping back and forth....Thank God for being able to ALT-Tab from COD to Desktop/FX GUI.

For anyone who totally understands FX GUI, please explain, in different words perhaps, what this paragraph from the Readme is saying:
"When using the "Load From" and "Save To" buttons, the active SweetFX preset remains the one that is associated with the current game profile, only its contents may be changed. To change the active preset, use the "FX Preset" drop box from the game profile tab. In this way, you can never edit another preset other than the active one, but you can always save/load to a different preset which can be used later."

Thanks for the reply mate, much appreciated.

Just to confirm...SweetFX (or ANY FXAA/color correction injector) does not play well with overlay types such as FRAPS, TS3 (built in TS3 overlay seems to insta-break injectors, while TSnotifier seems to work well enough...sometimes.) and all variations of MSI Afterburner, EVGA Precision, etc.

Running these overlays while utilizing an FXAA injector will either not allow your game to start (until you remove either the overlay or the injector) or simply cause your injector to not load, which the latter happened to me while trying to run FRAPS and SweetFX.

Note that I have not read the whole thread.. So if my following question has allready been answered forgive me..

Long story short I have no issues with the CoD colors..

The only thing I am interested in is improving the outline of the planes at distance.. aka Jaggies

Planes look fine up close, but does not take much distance for the next LOD to look very 1992 jaggish

With that said, does any of these settings improve that aspect?

Thanks in advance!
