lefuneste Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Features This mod provides functionalities to enhance the VR usage in IL2 GB (some options could also be used in 2D). It is not allowed in most multiplayer server, because the 3Dmigoto library itself can be used to cheat, as reshade. With version,> V5.x all settings can be changed in cockpit (!not working in hangar!) by a menu called by LCTRL + F1 key, with different pages that can be cycled using LSHIFT+F12 or LCTRL+F12. Settings can be saved by LALT+F12. A lot of features have numerical values that can be increased of reduced by pressing key. The increment value is set by pressing left arrow, that will cycle between Very coarse (+/-0.1), Coarse (+/-0.01) or Fine (+/-0.001). User settings are stored in a file called d3dx_user.ini, which will not be overwritten by the future version of the mod. So your settings will remain. The following features are available: Labels/Icons 1. Airfield/Mission target Label masked by airframe It has to be checked, but, even if all object labels are now hidden by airframe, the Airfield, mission target,… was still displayed in front of the cockpit in previous version Toggled on/off in ICON/LABEL menu page, line "Icon masking" 2. Color and text of label/icons same color can be applied to all label, text can be removed, in order to reduce the "cheating" look of labels/icons. Color change and text removal can be set separately. Icon masking is toggled on/off in ICON/LABEL menu page, line "Icon masking" Color icon replaced by grey can be toggled on/off in ICON/LABEL menu page, line "Color as grey" grey strenght can be set in ICON/LABEL menu page, line "Grey strenght" Test removal is toggled on/off in ICON/LABEL menu page, line "Text disabled" Color/ brightness / rendering 3. Strength of sight can be increased or reduce Sight brightness can be strenghtened or reduced by using menu page "MISC." option "sight brightness". Sight can be disabled if value is set to 0. 4. sight can be idisplayed for left, roght or both eye Eye for sight rendering can be selected by using menu page "MISC." option "sight eye". Sight can be displayed for left eye, right eye or both. 5. Game color can be modified Two settings are available. Cockpit and external color can be changed separately. Saturation can be changed, color component can be multiplied by a factor and a constant can be added. Menu page COCKPIT COLOR and EXTERN. COLOR will change colors for cockpit and external elements accordingly. Saturation line will change image saturation Color mul will multiply all color components by the line value Color add will add line value to all color components. The color change option can be toggled off/on in game and in menu by pressing LSHIFT+F1 6. Night mod for map The map can be darken to avoid dazzle in night flight. Activated / deactivated in game by LCTRL + u key Darken factor can be changed in MISC. menu page, line "night mode" 7. Sharpen for cockpit only Sharpen can be applied only for cockpit, in order to avoid shimmering and have a more realistic landscape (from my point of view). Works with sharpen option on or off. If Game sharpen option is off, a dedicated sharpen is done. If game sharpen option is on, in game sharpen will be applied only on cockpit. Activated / deactivated in menu Sharpen factor and luma can be changed only for mod sharpen (notaken into account for in game sharpen) by using "COCKP. SHARPEN" page, lines cockpit sharpen and cockpit luma 8. AA enhancement for spotting AA can make planes "merged" wiht background, especially for FXAA. This option will disable AA on border of other planes so will make them more visible. If sharpen options are activated, sharpen will also be done on the plane's borders. Activated / deactivated in menu, page "AA ENHANCEMENT", option "AA spotting improvement" 9. FXAA enhancement for cockpit By default no FXAA is done on cockpit if "sharpen" option is activated. FXAA will be done (only on edge of object) if this option is activated. Activated / deactivated in menu, page "AA ENHANCEMENT", option "FXAA sharpen improvt." GUI 10. Kneepad like feature Pictures that user can modify can be displayed in flight, in the same place than the map. Currently 27 images can by cycled. Activated / deactivated by LALT + j key Pages can be cycled by LSHIFT+j and LCTRL+j keys Images can be changed, see customization section 11. Technochat can be temporarily hidden in flight To help to check gauge instead of reading the technochat, but not loosing information we can only have with it. Activated / deactivated by LSHIFT + u key. 12. Cockpit photo can be displayed with a bigger size in front of player view I use my other mod to replace photos by plane tech information (duration for RPM/manifold , temp ...) but this photo is hard to read in some plane. So I made this feature to display it in a more usefull way. Unfortunately, I could not make it work by default, so you have to cycle through cockpit texture by LSHIT+k key. When the photo has been displayed, 'k' key should display it again. FIX 13 Sun halo is masked by airframe + cloud debanding + other little fixes Set on by default. Can be set in menu MISC. page, line "Graphic improvement" NB: For rotation VRNeckSafer is THE tool to use.
