I've uploaded my reshade settings that I've been working on here - http://www.mediafire.com/file/qq7084qdq4wjsf1/Aces_BoS_Reshade_Presets.zip They don't change things that radically, the biggest change is the sharpness which makes it easier with my old eyes to read the gauges, dials and map etc.. , see the screenshots below.
I've also changed the DOF a little and added a little vibrance.
I should have a pack containing all my bump maps available for download in the near future, I'll post more info here.
Cheers

Another 190 shot with new bump map and reshade settings applied -
By way of comparison, I reverted back to the original bump map, turned off the shaders and turned bloom back on:

With these I now have a complete set including for the the aircraft that I don't have like the P40, Mc202 and Bf110G which I won't include as I have no way of testing them.

This download includes new bump maps for IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad Aircraft.
Unzip the download content somewhere (not your game folder) making sure to preserve the folder structure. You will then have a folder named "Aces Bump Maps for IL-2 BoS" which contains this readme file and two folders named "Aces Bump Maps" and "Original Bump Maps"
To use the new bump maps copy the contents of the "Aces Bump Maps" folder into your game's "/data/graphics" folder eg. c:\Program Files (x86)\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\graphics and let it overwrite the contents of the "Planes" folder located there.
To revert back to the game's supplied bump maps copy the content of the "Original Bump Maps" folder into your game's "/data/graphics" folder as above and let it overwrite the contents of the "Planes" folder located there.
Please note I haven't been able to test a few of the aircraft such as the MC202S8, P40E1 and Bf1110G2 as I do not have them so please let me know if you spot anything strange happening.
Hope you enjoy using them.
Kind regards
Aces

Looks great mate. Much better than standard Bumpmaps. I still can't bring myself to fly this game though but if I did I would certainly use these Bumpmaps and possibly your reshade settings.
Nice work.
