I've been playing around with SweetFX on WOFF. This is just a quick video of Pups vs DR1s in a Quick Combat. I kinda like the new settings, but I'm sure they won't be everybody's cup of tea. That's an Autumn scene, btw.



Here are the settings I used.

I think it looks great. Thanks for sharing. BTW - Great flying!

Crimson Tide

Hellshade;

I also think it looks great, in fact it looks very much like my vid card images.
I must say, I am always impressed with your spacial awareness and your ability to faultlessly control your crafts directions while visually keeping an eye on your opponent when he is not directly in front of you. I was impressed also with the fact that when you zoomed in on one of the Pups and an opponent that you were able to keep them steady in your view because zooming in always seems to magnify any movement and result in shakiness or inability to stay with the opponents craft in the view.

I wish I could manage to do that Sir!

Looks fantastic!

It really is pretty amazing how good WOFF looks with ankor's DX9 mod and SweetFX enabled -- really not too far from Rise of Flight (which, for a game using MSCFS3's engine, is damned impressive).

Outstanding aerobatics, as always!

Awesome Vid

Very nice looking SweetFX settings, Hellshade. Very earthy and real in a way I can't really describe. I'll be trying these for sure!

Now I'm going to tease you and everybody else on this forum (I also argue with my real life friends about this)...scout pilots didn't use binoculars during a dogfight, so no zoom allowed!

Great video, once again, (and again...) Thanks for these Hellshade!

What are you talking about? Hellshade is so awesome , he's using his ocular muscles to squeeze his eyes into tubes in his head!

Thanks guys. I'm trying to enhance the realism of Winders already amazing colors (if that's possible). I didn't like the clouds in my last settings - too bright - so I've been messing with some more settings. Here are a few screenshots of what are hopefully subtle differences that bring WOFF even more to life. Of course, credit also goes to AnKor for his amazing self shadowing mod DX9 mod and Aris for his stunning cloud mod.

And one split screen so you can see the differences.



and the obligatory video. Same WOFF Quick Combat settings as the previous video, just using the newer SweetFX settings



These are the setting for the above screenshots. If a setting is not used ( =0) then I didn't post the sub-settings, simply for clarities sake.

Tested your latest settings for SweetFx Hellshade and WOFF now sure looks stunning. Thanks a lot for these tweaks!

looking good!

No zooming for this guy either. Magic zooming eyeballs ... bah I say!! (grin).

Great video Hellshade, as always. Fun to watch!!
