With some flying time and FXAA enabled, I see that it overlays a sepia tone, which makes the terrain hue look a little more normal at altitude (not so verdant green). This is mimicking aerial perspective, where colours get more washed out with increasing distance.

However the 'bloom' is a little too strong around the sun, and it flattens out the clouds a bit. Hopefully there is a compromise with the bloom... Disabling it may remove some of the anti-aliasing properties.

Good stuff elephant, I'll have to look at the trees now. But yes, I've found that the 'sparkle' on the bracing wires is much improved. I hope others give this a try.

Not only Rise of Flight looks way better but there is almost no performance hit AA maxed out.
Can it be installed for IL2 1946?

I'm using FXAA in IL2 Cliffs of Dover, and it helps out immensely in that sim. However, the folder structure is different; I believe all the FXAA files and folders go into the main game directory, the one with the game executable.exe, but double check the IL2-CoD thread I linked to in 1st post.

If flying IL2-CoD on a 64 bit OS use the DirX 10 version, DirX 9 for 32 bit OS, and for regular IL2...

Good find. I like the look and NO FPS hit on my ATI 5670. You do have to play around w/ the settings tho'
