IL2 1946 Re Shade Installation Tutorial 

This isn't IL2 GB, it's IL2 1946.

I hope you like it.

Super check back in with your results :)

And does "Extender" also work?

Only that 1 or 2 works. I no of no other solutions.

Lumina is just right good choice and you are correct too much effect can make the game look weird. Glad you tried it thanks for the update.

Easy to use and easy to go back to the regular game version using the hot key selection. Thanks for watching.

I do not know enough about the GE to do a tutorial . I experiment with many mods not all of them work.

You have to install the water=4 mod, go into the conf.ing and set water=0 also set the HardwareShaders=1 and DynamicalLights=0 .Install the graphic extender exe from gitlab.com/vrresto/il2ge/blob/master/README.md. Open the exe and put the path to main folder of game. Once comple close the window, start and enjoy the game without that stupid fog. Cheers! Also I recommend if you din't tried, Next generation hud mod/ ng-hud mod.

any sharpening or HDR is good. I do not recommend using too many effects. Let me know if it helps.

Will the game run in direct x ?

@@callsignnictmere465 Yes I reinstalled the re shade as direct x & it still does not work? The older version works fine with stalker anomaly.

@@thebritexiteer7956 I am not sure why but I have two desktop pc’s and open GL runs without issue. I also have a notebook PCs that will only run the game in direct x. I have fooled around with the config.ini settings but no luck. The last thing I would recommend is to check the iL2 1946 SAS forums tech support.

@@callsignnictmere465 Thanks but I am sick of wasting time looking through forums trying to fix problems caused by bad programming I think I will give this one a miss.

@@thebritexiteer7956 I totally understand I hate wasting game time on fix's. I hope you are able to fly a version that works. Best regards.

Thanks Gatto and sorry I left out a lot of credit, as I tried to install re-shade years ago and didn't know how to do it. I thought i would put out a tutorial to help others like me. No offense intended.

I do not know why sorry.

@@callsignnictmere465 :(

now the shelld drop now im so hsppy

No you can run it on any version of iL2 1946 as is.

@@callsignnictmere465 Thanks man, i did exactly what you did but am running the game in Dx do i have to use Open GL ? i start the game and i dont se the text on the laft side of my screen

@@Daltongaming78 open GL let me know how it goes.

@@callsignnictmere465 For some reason my game wont open on open GL only DX, i will try again now thanks for responding

@@callsignnictmere465 Re shade installs but my game crash on GL X(

Antonis Vidakis do you have any mod running using JGSMe? Turn them off try to run the game. Let me know.

@@callsignnictmere465 Yes I had. I turned them off but no change.

@@callsignnictmere465 I did a test to add re-shade on a standard no mods 4.10m version and there is no issue with the use of opengl. Therefore this must be modact related.

@@callsignnictmere465 Thanks for your help, after some more fuss it did worked by replacing conf.ini with your settings. Now I just hope it will not give me more trouble if I will attempt to use 4K res.

yes it works on B.A.T.

yes click on the link in the description.

just checking you did target the install to your IL2 game main .exe, and choose the option for openGL ?

@@callsignnictmere465 Yes I did it multiple time but still not working

@@dimitrikhokjnikrov3452 Sorry Dimitri I do not know why it would not work unless you are playing the game off of direct x ? But you say the console does not show up at all?

@@callsignnictmere465 Hi again ye I'm playing on opengl and ye the thing on the top left for reshade doesn't apppear

@@dimitrikhokjnikrov3452 Sorry for replying to an old comment but I don't suppose you ever figured out a fix? I have the same issue, though with VP instead of BAT.

Rondo I would but I do not know how to make any changes to the GE.

@@veryytired so you extracted the re shade to your main game files .exe? That should do if after your game starts up hit the HOME key and the re shade console should show up in your upper left screen.
