SweetFX GUI

[naz]

I think I might need some help here fellas.

I tried the new tool FlightFX and it worked great...very simple to install and to change settings. The game looked fantastic and as an added bonus I was seeing contacts a hell of a lot clearer (I used the stock quick mission (German attack bridge) as a test and I was seeing enemy flights I had never seen before after hundreds of previous playthroughs).

All was seemingly sweet.

Then I tried to test it out on ATAG and the problems started...as soon as I loaded teamspeak, the game would lock up and eventually I got a launcher crash. Teamspeak itself would work and I could communicate with people but the game wouldn't work.

After a series of tests, it appears FlightFX and TS3 don't want to work together on my system.

1. FlightFX disabled and without TS - ok
2. FlightFX enabled and without TS- ok
3. FlightFX disabled and with TS - ok
4. FlightFX enabled AND with TS - crash!!

Anyone else having similar problems?

I'd love to have the better looking game (especially the visibility improvement) whilst flying online!!

Work well here, relly improve visul externally, but inside (CloD) cockpits is too dark.

What parameter I need adjust?

Naz, SweetFX does not seem to like overlays. If you are having problems with T/S make sure you disable the plug in that displays names on screen as they speak. You'll still be able to use T/S just not the overlay.

Ahhh, I suspect the TS overlay is indeed the cause. I will test it out when I get home from work.

Thanks for the reply mate, much appreciated.

Just to confirm...SweetFX (or ANY FXAA/color correction injector) does not play well with overlay types such as FRAPS, TS3 (built in TS3 overlay seems to insta-break injectors, while TSnotifier seems to work well enough...sometimes.) and all variations of MSI Afterburner, EVGA Precision, etc.

Running these overlays while utilizing an FXAA injector will either not allow your game to start (until you remove either the overlay or the injector) or simply cause your injector to not load, which the latter happened to me while trying to run FRAPS and SweetFX.

Note that I have not read the whole thread.. So if my following question has allready been answered forgive me..

Long story short I have no issues with the CoD colors..

The only thing I am interested in is improving the outline of the planes at distance.. aka Jaggies

Planes look fine up close, but does not take much distance for the next LOD to look very 1992 jaggish

With that said, does any of these settings improve that aspect?

Thanks in advance!

Most definitely.

That was the whole reason I chose to install sweetFX in the first place.
With the new GUI it's even easier to make adjustments than doing so through note pad.

My settings are attached, your setup may differ.

Here is a video of it in action. I might make another showing the LOD of distant aircraft when I get some more time.
The video doesn't quite have the same sharpness of the original footage due to rendering, but it's close.
