HDR and bloom effect for IL2 in DirectX

[II./JG1_Krupinski]

My findings:

It works, but only d3d8 - It would appear that IL-2 does not use d3d9. This would be supported by the file IL-2 creates when switching to dx, dx8Wrap.dll. Don't want to start a flame war, just my findings.

Can't use wide screen when using d3d8.dll - there is a misalignment of the left and right - wide screen panels created by IL-2.

The bloom is entirely over emphasized and I see no reason to think HDR is present in any fashion - especially when using bloom.

Copying two different files (d3d8, d3d9) to your IL-2 folder makes no difference. IL-2 uses d3d8 and will load that exclusively.

If anyone can post there version of enbseries version, screen shots, machine specs, enbseries ini file and skins used in screen shot (please use defaults as that will be common and a basis for comparison) I would like to experiment a bit further. But frankly what I have done hasn't changed a thing from the totally blown out sky and reflections.
