Yeniceri Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 nobody can.. Guys.. if you set this (red highlighted) BloomPowerDay=10 to 7 the bloom is much more acceptable levels without losing the effect And i noticed that if you use "nv4_disp.dll" as renderer instead of lockon's default, effects are much more "sharp?" dont know the word in english exactly.. but better... Edit: I use LCD monitor. Dont know the effect on CRT [sIGPIC]http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa200/misikci/41-imza-1.jpg[/sIGPIC] "To infinity...and beyond!.." SIM-MOD Modeler TURK!

Edit: I use LCD monitor. Dont know the effect on CRT "Sharp" is exactly the correct word to use. :) I've been holding off on this until people tweaked it a bit more. I'll try it out when I get home.

Mnemonic Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 wow.... this is really amazing stuff... I want it so much such a long time, but I thought it's impossible. Glad to know it's not. :) Very nice find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimes Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Defiantly tone it down from the default levels, its pretty excessive at the settings it comes with. I plan to tweak it to more acceptable levels. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Mustang Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 make a search at c: drive for nv4-disp.dll .. COPY that file to lockon main folder.. (dont move it) open graphic.ini file.. find line Renderer = "DXRenderer.dll"; change it to Renderer = "nv4-disp.dll"; Sorry to break this to you, but this is a placebo, its been tried and tried many times over the years, even ED stepped forward at one point and said so. I wished it did work and benefitted us though, but it doesn't, all it does is bypass whatever you tell it to use and revert back to dxrenderer.dll.

RvEYoda Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I messed around a bit with it, I like these settings : BloomPowerDay=1.1 BloomFadeTime=700 BloomConstantDay=1 BloomQuality=0 BloomScreenLevelDay=30 BloomCurveDay=1.8 BloomPowerNight=25 BloomConstantNight=5 BloomCurveNight=0 BloomScreenLevelNight=20 BloomAdaptationScreenLevel=80 BloomAdaptationMultiplier=10 BloomAllowOversaturation=1 i tested fps also with and without this mod. It does cut fps with 10-20%, but I find it to be worth this cost. The GROUND looks awesome with this mod teaked :) (no more plastic fantastic!) WARNING FPS COUNTER SHOWING WRONG ;) vs S = SPARSE(m,n) abbreviates SPARSE([],[],[],m,n,0).

OK, I found that changing the resolution in game does change the resolution, but unfortunately, it screws up the menu screen, so if I set the resolution to 1920x1200, I can't see any of the fly buttons :( I did manage to set it at 1280x800, but it didn't preserve the 1:6 aspect ratio... looks like it needs tweaking a little more, but it's really got some potential.

Highwayman-Ed Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 well, that's the odd thing... none of my settings changed. The graphics.cfg was still set to 1920x1200... aha... maybe it was that my interface is set to a different resolution (1024x768) that caused the resolution to stay at that size... let me test :D Intel i9-9900KF @5.2GHz MSI Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon 32GB G.Skill Trident Z DDR3200 RAM MSI RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio 40" Panasonic TH-40DX600U @ 4K Pimax Vision 8K Plus / Oculus Rift CV1 / HTC Vive Gametrix JetSeat with SimShaker Windows 10 64 Bit Home Edition [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highwayman-Ed Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Found it! This mod takes the first resolution it encounters and won't let that resolution change. I used to have my interface set at 1024x768 as any other resolution distorts it, and then the simulation was set to 1920x1200... by making the interface the same resolution as the simultation setting, it works a treat :D Better still, but I'm hardly noticing any drop in fps on my Nvidia 7950GX2...!

Bobby47 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I like this mod, it easy to use and if you don't like it you can easily remove it, what I would like to see is other peoples settings becuase i believe that there is alot of room to experiment with. :book: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
