Nate--IRL-- Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) The original intention for the New HDR presets was to make SOFT the same as the original DCS HDR. However this did not make it into the patch (Hopefully the next one). The HDR presets enclosed with 1.1.0.8 were the ones I was tweaking before I got it right. In the meantime, attached is the HDR.fx that was originally intended for 1.1.0.8 It returns the Original DCS HDR on the SOFT setting. NORMAL is the 1.1.0.7 HDR and HARD is a more saturated contrasted HDR. Backup and then replace the \Bazar\shaders\PostMotionEffect\HDR\hdr.fx with the one attached in hdr.zip.

Insanatrix Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I'm liking the Hard preset so far just due to the vibrant color scheme it seems to give. Normal and Soft almost give a washed out look. Is there any way to get the Blur from the Soft preset into the Hard preset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to try to remember how I changed things, you could probably figure it out if you had a look - I'll do a Soft HARD for you at the weekend. Bump the thread if I've not responded by Saturday.

Baggy MacDouche Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'd be interested in that setting too. Now, I'm one of those ATI 69xx card users that get the flashing white box when HDR is turned on. I only had a few minutes this morning to install and try out the patch. I turned on HDR normal setting and saw the white box. I have not tried the hard or soft settings yet. Since the normal setting is the same from 1.1.0.7, is there a chance that the new settings fixes this issue? I've been looking high and lo for any solution to this problem but have been unsuccessful. Is this at least being looked at by ED or is this purely a card driver issue or something?

Last I heard was the drivers for the 68xx (EDIT:- I meant 69XX) series do not support a certain DX feature correctly, but don't quote me on that.

I feel the Blur does take away from the contrasted feel of the setting, but this is just a personal preference. Install as before.

Nate Nate, are you a referring to 69xx?. AFAIK, 68xx do not have the issue. So, can we assume it is AMD/ATI's responsability to solve this one? I assumed the issue was on ED's side as it was introduced with 1.1.0.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I can't say who's fault it is, I do remember hearing in passing that the ATI driver was not processing a DX function correctly for those cards. I can't remember where I got that from though, so don't take it as official. The fact that the issue applies to only one type of card would lead me to suspect the card or driver. But, again note, I am not speaking for ED here.

VMFA117_Poko Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) I really like HARD preset from the 1st post. Installed, love it and will leave like that. Thanks Nate. Which do you personally prefer? Edited June 3, 2011 by Poko24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Originally I just wanted to get the Original HDR back, but ED preferred the HDR used after Beta - so as a compromise I suggested the idea for the HDR presets to ED and they implemented it, which I thought was rather cool :) Everybody wins.

Insanatrix Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Just wanted to say Nate I love that new Hard preset. It has the blur from the old beta HDR but it's not as "fuzzy" and while it does somewhat lower the contrast it's a fine tradeoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Im on 32 bit, so fugged the HDR with a setting of 2 in the options file (C:\Users\...\Saved Games\DCS Warthog\Config\options.lua).

Baggy MacDouche Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Well, I tried the mod and even just did a clean install to the 11.5 drivers and was still getting the white boxes. :( I really like the look of the hard HDR effect.
