Yes, DirectX10 files. And ingame just use the hotkey to enable/disable FXAA! Really great!

AA problems in CloD solved!!!

Well, all customers of CloD and Maddox Games can tell STEAM about this... Or better: put FXAA suport in next patch!

I'd love to try this, but as I only fly online...
Praying they fix FSAA soon.

Can you explain step by step how to install the function FXAA.
Where put the file d3d9 ?
In the COD root folder ?
In the MODS fill ?
Should we disable the anti-aliasing of the game ?
Should we configure the graphics card ?
How to activate once installed FXAA ?
Thank you for your help

Just extract d3d10 files into ROOT IL2 CLOD folder. No need to use d3d9 folder, if you run CLOD in Dx10. When go online, just delete the three files. Simple.

Ingame, AA off. No need to configure driver settings.

Activate with "Pause" key. Screenshots with "PrintScreen" key (recorded in root IL2 CLOD folder, into Steam).

The game looks amazing with this kind of PP AA, because distant terrain become more smooth. Works really nice and better than MLAA!

It's work day in Russia? Why NOBODY of MG talk about this discovery?!?!?!?!

Really... I'm against all past whinning here, but this kind of thing MUST be noticed and put into this game ASAP!

Tried FXAA files last night. put the DX10 flles in the steam directory where the COD launcher is. After running COD I find the log.log file in the directory with entries in it but I can see no difference in the game when I press the pause key.

Just in case, you did take out the 3 files from the dx10 folder and put them in the main COD directory and not in your documents folder.

Dont just put the whole dx10 folder in there, make sure you take them out first.

you can tell its working by looking at the TXT on the screen.

Yes I only added the 3 files from the dx10 folder not the folder itself. As I say the log.log file is created so this suggests the files have been detected. What do you mean by 'you can tell its working by looking at the TXT on the screen' I was expecting some significant improvement to the graphics regarding jaggies on diagonal lines and sparkling points etc.
