HDR and bloom effect for IL2 in DirectX
 
It is not heck or crack; it is plug-in and works in normal legal version of IL2FB-PF. I am sure of it; I have read all on developer's site and tried it. And it is really working, but unfortunately only in DirectX.

I am not a programmer but maybe it is not so difficult for someone skilful to make it for OpenGL. IL2 still remains unmatched in OpenGL effects.

Here is it here:

And this is developer's site:

Did you make the screen shots? Is that a AAA B-24 mod?

How does water look? I like my perfect water...

As it only works in DirectX it's no perfect water I guess. Something which I don't want to lose, so let's hope a version for openGL gets created.

And why does the download say 'Lock On HDR'?

Can the developers please include this effect in the core dlls that are being developed. The difference it makes to lighting is amazing, but Perfect mode is not supported using DirectX in IL2 so what you gain in lighting you lose in other areas. For players using Excellent settings you should try this plug-in. It looks fantastic.

Please, please, please IL2 developers... let's have this in the next dlls!

How many people here have actually tried this?


Is it stable?


Is it real?

I have tried it. It works and it is real. It is good. Not a hack either.

The creator of it developed it for lock on (which is why the download says, 'Lock On HDR'), but it does indeed work with no discernble performance hit in Il-2. It really needs converting to OpenGL though so we can use it with shaders=1 and Perfect settings. Hauntingly beautiful. The look of it gets imprinted on your retina.

The fellow who made it has not worked in GL for years. He says a conversion would be possible, but he is not an Il-2 player and will not be taking the job on. :(

Someone who has FSX should give it a go too!

Thanks, I might have to give it a try. :)

It was not developed for lockon. It was actually developed for DX8 game GTA Vice City and can be used for many other DX8 games like Lockon and IL2 in DX8 mode. About the best config settings you can refer to this post: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=29752.
