Guys, go to:

C:\OBDSoftware\WOFF\WOFFScenery\Shaders

There is the d3d8.ini file you can alter to work with sweet FX. Then it won't disappear or switch back etc. No need for read only or do anything else etc.

Cheers

Can someone please explain exactly what this means;

'2. Run CFS3Config.exe and make sure you choose your proper display options selection again (i.e. it may show 800 x 600 x 16).'


If I run the CFS3 exe in the main game folder I just keep getting error messages?

I don't think that means anything, didn't make much sense in the scheme of things, and I ignored it.
SweetFX is apparently working fine in that I see minor differences when I switch it on/off.

EDIT: Just tried Hellshades Sweet FX settings and it definitely is working fine without the step mentioned above.
They default settings are quite subtle perhaps too much so.

I put Hellshades settings on, and my graphics are all maxed out, and the game now looks nothing like his screenshots.... I might have to go back to the default game without sweetFX frown

Post a couple of screenshots so I can see what your sim looks like using the settings, please. Also, Make sure you turn OFF any setting that I don't have specifically listed.

Ah. This is something I have to check.
I am definitely seeing a difference with SweetFX on and am suffering no FR loss but would like to get everything as great as possible.
