I used the "SweetFX" mentioned in this post:

Put the files in your "il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover" folder according to the readme, then use my attached settings file to replace the one that comes with SweetFX. When you start up a mission, you'll see a big difference

I like Les'sown settings,just seems more realistic,so I have'nt changed a thing,just dropped his settings file into my system,without altering it.

S!

Meaker, what settings are those? Sure look nice. I also like Baron's even they have a tad bit too much contrast to my taste. The original colors are washed out like..

Please, give your settings. Baron's settings in my system looks darkly.

No problem boys,it's this one http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...69&postcount=5 ,ensure you also use this to http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...ostcount=1,you need both folders I think,this is what I have done anyway,if in doubt read Les's instructions.

As Les instructs,just drop the two files into your main COD folder where your 'EXE' resides,start up the game and voila.

Thanks for the recommendation Meaker.

Flanker and xpzorg, the first file I've attached to this post contains the 'InjecttFxaa_by_Some_dude' utility, using my settings as default. Just open the zip file and put it's contents into your main Cliffs Of Dover directory. I'm not sure which settings Plt Off JRB Meaker is actually using, but if it's not the 'Neutral6' ones that are installed by default, it will be one of the other settings that are also included in their own separate zip files.

The second zip file I've attached is basically the same thing, but using the 'SweetFX_by_CeeJay.dk' utility instead, and with only my 'Neutral6' settings included. Same deal with that, just copy its contents into the folder where you have Cliffs Of Dover installed and it should be working when you start up the game.

Edit - Here's a long and boring video showing the SweetFX 'Neutral6' settings at 7am over a nice ridge formation somewhere between Dover and London. Should have switched the SweetFX utility on and off to show the difference between it and the default colours, but was too busy looking around at the scenery. Flown with keyboard and mouse too, so the flight controls look a bit fluttery. Max graphics settings and recording with FRAPS made it a bit more stuttery than it could have been as well, but you get that.



***Note- If you're using the 'SweetFX' utility, zip up the original 'd3d9.dll' file in your 'Cliffs Of Dover' install to back it up, as the one in the 'SweetFX' utility will need to replace it in order to work.***

Edit 12-11-12 - Updated readme and re-attached 'FXAA PPI Rev 37...' to this post.

Wow..this is awesome..gone is the "yellow" hue that covered everything. Im using FXaa with Les preferred, I also see Les Neutral3 and Neutral6, can you tell me in the ABOVE pic, which is my fav setting from the screenshots, which of the three this is? is this les preferred, Natural3 or Natural6? Also, HOW do I switch between the "preferred" and Natural3 and Natural6? DO simply remove the two of the variations I dont want to use? Thanks so much, so far, Im loving this app! )

guys, really, the application has a readme which explains very well pretty much everything about its usage. including using presets.

also, for comparison sake, the app has a Splitscreen mode, which enables the before-and-after splitscreen comparison mode.
