Here's a few lifted from the SweetFX thread to demonstrate what some people are getting. Some of these pics may even be a little over-saturated!

If they could fix the glaring issue of the aircraft markings looking like model kit decals that otherwise looks quite reasonable.

Just a quick OT question. Why does Jason over at 777 promotes this sweatfx untility rather than fixing the problem in the Sim? Or is there issues with the utility? Are the changes just subjective or is there a performance hit?

Because it saves him money, someone else can make his sim look pretty and nobody seems to mind.

What does it actually do? Is the effect seen in game or is it just for screenshots?

it's seen in game, it's a .dll file you put into the game directory that injects shader effects etc usually with a .txt file for tweaking the settings, exactly the sort of thing Furbs would have whined about if used with CoD to fix AA but perfectly ok with ROF oddly enough.

Hello Skoshi. I'm pretty sure that Jason "promotes" SweetFX for RoF as it gives users more graphic options. I think it's called having enthusiasm for your product. Not sure what "problem" it fixes. It's a post-processing effect that can be used on all games that use DX. In RoF it has a Lumasharpening tool that really helps to bring out textures in the game as well as enhancing colours.

I first came across it for CLoD where it works wonders for me. Alters that yellow haze across everything and adds FXAA which really helps the visuals.
There is minimal, if any framerate hit on my fairly puny system when using it in both games.
