PeterP Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) (I will update this thread on a regular basis - so you may want to subscribe to it...) DCS related fixes for proper use with SoftTH 2.08b: Fix: for bugged mission editor/Abris in DCS with SoftTH 2.08b: Enable "quirk-mode" in the config.SoftTHconfig: [debug] compatibleIB=0 compatibleTex=0 compatibleVB=0 enableVBQuirk=1<<<this last line(enableVBQuirk=1) is missing when you use the configuration tool - so add it manually by using a editor! And avoid using ZClear - as this will produce some shader bugs . Means : Set "zClear = 0"! >>>Strange water texture overlaping bug... or something And if you are using Helios (http://www.scsimulations.com/): You have to use "keepComposition=1" in the config.SoftTHconfig to switch Aero on while SoftTH works. This will make it possible to have Helios rendered over DCS on secondary screens! You still don't know what SoftTH is? : SoftTH is donation-ware and let you do what the big GPU company's don't allow you to do or only at high costs. SoftTh let you render every monitor combination at High FPS in full-screen mode. You can even Mix SoftTH with AMD-Eyefinity and/or TH2GO,NVIDIA-Surround ! Especially interesting for DCS. -SoftTH let you use full-screen Mode If you export MDFS/Abris ect. on additional screens . You are not forced to use Windowed mode any more. Even Helios is working with DCS in Fullscreen on all secondary heads. And Yes , it will gain your FPS! Some interesting examples what you can do/how it can look: Mixing Eyfinity with SoftTH: ( Congo_Toey ) Just crazy... : Mixing Portrait with Landscape: SoftTH main page: http://www.kegetys.net/SoftTH/ Note: Even if you are running a 64bit OS, most games require the 32bit x86 version since the games themselves are 32bit executables.

That would be no work at all, I just don't see the use of painting the smallest possible Box containing all used screens since that is what the tool is made to always choose. Quote and secondly, manual sourceRect coord placement needs to be input-able and visuallised, so we can set actual placement away from the windows setup..eg..on my desktop i use the monitors lined up on the bottom..so the bottom is basically a straight line with no "steps" but in games id like to line the screens up via the top eg desktop.. __ ----- __ |__||___||__| ingame.. ---------------- |__|| ||__| ----- i think with a few tweaks to this tool you could have other configs that are away from the windows config, without having to change resolutions first I don't really see any harm in changing your windows-settings first, but i will see if I can add direct setting of the source rect anyway without screwing the original concept.

Jaximus Decimus Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Ok, Peter, I've been trying to figure this out for the last two hours, and it's just not happening, buddy. I clicked the link for the newest 32 bit x86 version, which downloaded a folder onto my computer. Inside this folder is a file named "d3d9.dll" I placed this file in my DCSBlackshark/bin folder. It's my understanding from the readme that when I launch Black Shark I'm supposed to get some sort of message about configuring my setup. I get no message at all. When I try to actually launch a mission the game sends me straight to the debriefing screen after taking me to my desktop for a few seconds. I have two 1920X1080 monitors running in extended desktop, Windows 7. All I want is to have my camera view on monitor one and my Shykval on monitor two. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I've been reading through all these posts and I see all these .lua files and everything, but I don't even know where to put those files, let alone how to start tweaking them myself. Any assistance you could render would be greatly appreciated. Edited to add: Running Black Shark 1.0.2/Full Screen. Game runs normally if I delete d3d9.dll from the bin. No Softh files are generated anywhere on my PC. Edited October 12, 2011 by Jaximus Decimus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm right now at work but I think I could dedicate some time to your problem (like I did already often for others when I'm working :D:P.). Yes- some reported this before that SoftTH didn't created a config file... - don't worry we will solve this! First I want to redirect you to this thread for the further "talk-on"- and help me to de-clutter this thread.

Hello I'm right now planning to write a detailed SoftTH-Manual to address the problems many people have to set it up property when using the first time and also help other users to unleash the full potential of this software. I already communicated with Kegetys - and he likes this initiative and that he will comment/cross-check the progress (as his time allows this). Here is a example how it could look like: http://il2fovchanger.byethost7.com/versions/San%27s%20IL2%20Fov%20Changer%20v1.0%20english.pdf And I want to let you know that I was the "Ghost-writer" for the IL2-FOV-Canger instruction including al graphical layout. San only made some annotations within the progress. Up to now I didn't wrote a single line - I just want your feed back if you would welcome this idea and if you would support me in the progress. .... here is a thread I started in the DCS-Forums that will give you a brief overview about my knowledge/experience with SoftTH http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=71710. It's planned to do this manual in HTML so it will be reader friendly and it allows to be updated in a uncomplicated way. I also plan to add a appendix that will explain many technical terms - so the "average -Joe" will have no problems in understanding complex correlations. I will update this thread when I have made some progress. And post the WIP-SoftTH-Manual. The last years I was mainly concentrated on simulation software (to be honest : I only used SoftTH once with a non-simulation software - this was Portal) So I will need your help to cover the special requirements to set-up SoftTH on other programs like Steam-Apps for instance. So please feel free to add annotations/ideas or links to subjects you want to see covered in this manual. But be aware that this is no wish-list-thread for features you want to see in upcoming SoftTH versions! I will ask the Mods to delete this kind of postings - so better you don't even try... . So please stay on topic and make it easy for me to catch your thoughts/ideas ! Thanks for reading. @Moderators - can you make this thread Sticky?

tietze Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) I got the impression SofTH was a way of getting extra FPS, so I tried it out and changed to fullscreen instead of windowed mode. After tweaking and trying out almost all options I could only see a small decrease in framerate, when using it. I'm only using one extra monitor to show the MFCDs of the A-10C and ABRIS and Shkval in BS2. Is there any special options I should pay attention to, to get higher framerate?

Kegetys Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 odd bug in DCS with 2.08: Yes, this is a 2.08 bug with the vertex buffer manage-emulation. The actual fix is the "compatibleVB" setting, just if you enable the quirk mode it will also enable compatibleVB so it fixes it as well (the quirk mode was needed for A10C Beta, it should not be needed for anything anymore unless something else has the same bug). You'll lose some performance with compatibleVB though. As a cyborg, you will serve SHODAN well http://www.kegetys.fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterP Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Hi Kuky ! I hope you remember... I was composing a SoftTH profile for you that should make it possible for you to enjoy the sun-glare with HDR on... and you reported back that this isn't working for you... Today I found the time to modify it a little to be able to test this profile at my system and I had the sun-glare working without problems as you can see at the attachment (btw: I use a tweaked version of divieplanes sun-glare mod - that why it looks a little different...) So: would you please try it again with the files I did attached ? - I just want to understand why this didn't worked for you? :) This is the config.SoftThconfig that is attached.

Kuky Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I got HDR working alright, I have to thank you again for helping out! I want to add though that I actually had two more crashes today, both were about 10-15min in game, and I think it was caused by me changing enableVBQuirk=1 in config.SoftTHconfig and/or using using DestRect function. I reverted my settings back to 1920x1800 instead of 1920x1755 and deleted the DestRect lines in monitor.lua and changed back enableVBQuirk=0 and after that I was able to fly twice for long time without issue. There is still definitely something wrong with these graphics drivers for HD7970. No longer active in DCS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterP Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Thanks for dropping the note that DestRect+HDR was working for you... (even if it was not very stable). So I can finally stop to scratching my head... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My system is Windows XP 2002 w/sp-3. *sigh*;) SoftTH 2 works only at win7 or vista... (Its written in the Readme) And SoftTH 1 works for XP but dose't have the features you are requesting - but you are not very clear in your posting why you want to use SoftTh... I can just start guessing that you want to run DCS in Fullscren or something like this....? I donot know to post pictures or my opitions lua file to this thread. I had them all ready to go for you.>Reply > go advanced > scroll down to "manage attachments" > load up a picture my main screen is 23'hp2009 and my #2 screen is a 17' Dell CRT. I don't want one continus screen. Please help Nice that I now know which size your screens are... but its all about resolution... I have a IPhone that is 3.5 inch and has a 960x640 resolution - and I have also a 17 inch display that has 1280x1024. - I hope you get my point. I don't want one continus screen. Please elaborate more on this. This is what I know from you: -You have two screens on -You want the shkval/abris on the left secondary (17") screen -and the Cockpit on the right that is your primary (23") So what does "not continus" mean in this context ? 1.- I need your exact Desktop arrangement 2.- I need the resolution of each monitor 3.- are you able to force the secondary screen to run the same resolution as your primary? 4.- tell me also which GPU you have 5.- tell me how the Abris/Shkval should appear on the left screen. (example: Abris on left side using the whole vertical height/Shkval right of it, Vertical Centred) When I have all this info I could write a "MonitorSetup".lua in no time for you. - Edited February 12, 2012 by PeterP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
