SweetFX GUI

[Vanilla]

Hi Gents,

A new SweetFX GUI is in town. Although it was created mostly for Rise of Flight (due to explicit support by Jason at 777), it is:

1) generic enough

and

2) completely free

so to be used without problems with IL-2 CloD:

FlightFX - SweetFX GUI for ROF

Well, yes - you have to register IL2's Launcher.exe and, as for any profile, enable SweetFX effects.

You can check that it works by going to second tab, enabling the bottom option USE_SPLITSCREEN and setting its slider to 1.

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?

Being a GUI -> I guess that is related with the underlying SweetFX - the injector.ini (part of SweetFX) looks like this:

[injector]
; See the following URL to find out what keycode a key has:
; http://www.cambiaresearch.com/articles/15/javascript-char-codes-key-codes

;toggle shader keycode
key_toggle = 145 ; the SCROLL_LOCK key

;make screenshot keycode
key_screenshot = 44 ; PRINTSCREEN

;reload shader files keycode
key_reload = 19 ; the PAUSE key


[smaa]
;smaa preset one of {SMAA_PRESET_LOW, SMAA_PRESET_MEDIUM, SMAA_PRESET_HIGH, SMAA_PRESET_ULTRA}
;keep it set to SMAA_PRESET_CUSTOM to allow for custom settings
preset = SMAA_PRESET_CUSTOM

[misc]
;set to 1 to improve steam overlay compatibility
weird_steam_hack = 1

Thanks Vanilla

It works great for me and is easy to use. Easy to load old setting and tryout your friends. I used SweetFX_config.application before, but this is more handy.

Cheers M8

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.
