I've been thinking about reshade for at least a year, and this finally pushed me over the edge to give it a go. You made it look less onerous than I imagined! The latest version I got has a 'performance mode' check box, presumably for instances of two or more effects being applied together. The list of effects on offer I have is a good 3x larger than the list you showed here. I tried them all one after another, and only perhaps 10 seem useful after this very quick perusal. I especially like the kind of bloom which lightens the sky color toward the horizon, which is what I've always wanted as the first priority. The game sky gradient sucks, in that it remains too dark near the horizon. Thanks, Douglas, for the inspiration!
Hello! Ive got one problem relating with the mouse after installing this, I selected mouseuse=1, and when I try to move the camera with the mouse while playing, it just gets stuck and I cant see for example behind my plane. If i select mouseuse=2, then the moude completely dissapears. Any help?
I tried it on my version of HSFX and installed no problem, gotta be careful not to add too many effects though as some interact strangely. Interestingly this is no different from my job as a video editor, Luma sharpening is my favorite so thanks for the tip.
Would it at some point be possible to do a similar video for the graphics extender? I'm usually very adept at modding, even made mods for other games myself, but I cannot install IL2 GE without crashing the game.
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.
Beautiful tutorial. Got everything set up! However, I have been give too much freedom lol. I do not know which settings blend together the best way and look the nicest, I have gone through all of them and have my own preset, what settings are you using just for a comparison?
@@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.
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.
@@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
I have the modact 6.4 installed and whenever I switch to opengl it kicks me out to windows and closes the game. I even checked with different gpu and always the same outcome.
@@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.
Hey when I install reshade it says me that the installation has complete but once I launch il2 it doesn't work and doesn't even show me the reshade thing on the top. (help. I'm on BAT 3.8.4)
@@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?
@@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.
@@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.
