Some more shots using the same four different settings - the default IL2:COD colours and levels, default IL2:COD colours but with increased contrast, default injectFxaa settings but with only anti-aliasing and Tone Mapping activated, and my own preferred look.
Also attached are the injectFxaa settings that keep the default IL-2:COD colours the same, while darkening the shadows.

nice idea and thx for posting it, but does using this "modification" create problems with the steam integrity check for playing on online servers ?

Apart from the AA thing you probably just need to tweak your screen settings so no need for additional files

Just on a sidenote: using full screen filters is generally a subjective but also very broken way of fixing colors: It changes the colors for everything, including sunsets, fields, bark of trees, flowers etc.
I have a few screens here and one has a cathode backlight and PVA panel. It tends to, even though it's a higher end display, not calibrate to the whitepoint perfectly and has a bit of yellow tint. On that screen CloD indeed looks a bit too yellow indeed. I imagine that on low end screens that effect can be even worse. On the IPS ones it looks perfectly though. Your screenshot has a very cold color tone, as if it's not the sunlight but a mix with moonlight. Contrasts on most games always seem odd though. The problem is that gamers usually have a very tiny viewpoint and the image contrast is affected by the lighting of the surroundings. Another issue is the quality of the screen itself. I'd bet 99.9% of all gamers don't have a screen that cannot display true black. So I'd say it's better if people use a tool like that to fix the colors as I don't have any problem with them. I'm not sure about the general issue of using 3rd party tools though when it comes to steam games and playing multiplayer...

The FXAA is post processing, so VAC wouldn't pick it up, it does not alter the game files in any way, just processes the images after CoD makes them, before transferring to your video card.

Same thing, with the default injectFxaa settings (but with only AA and Tone Mapping activated) attached.
To my eyes, the default IL2:COD look is way too yellow, with shadows too light for my tastes, while my own preferred look is probably too cold and blue and contrasty for most people. I think the default injectFxaa settings are probably most realistic, but I just don't like the warmer look it has. Last edited by Les; 05-20-2012 at 03:40 AM.
