    ReShade & IL-2 CoD

    For Blitz version 4.50 (update December 2017):

    How to install it for Blitz 4.5:

    https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/28360-reshade-cod/





    -----------------------------------------------
    For TF 4.312:

    I put this manual on official IL-2 Bo"X" Forum few days ago but maybe You can be interested in here .

    Hello,
    ok here is my preset.
    Be sure - you have current display driver!

    The video preview:



    Screenshots (not edited, direct from the sim):







    You need both - ReShade program (exe) + profile with settings (A+B).

    A. Reshade installation:

    1. Install ReShade 3 https://reshade.me/ (btw. here is my backup of this version https://www.sendspace.com/file/m5wfbb).
    2. Install it (its easy, use only Dx10+ version, video tutorial: https://youtu.be/AmziSAz2B4M?t=2m57s (show the way to Launcher.exe in Your CoD folder)
    3. When the programm will ask about download filters - click yes, uncheck all but take this (You dont need all filters, sometimetis it's a case of CTD if You have unnecessary):

    - AmbientLight
    - Deband
    - DPX
    - FXAA
    - LumaSharpen
    - SMAA
    - Tonemap
    - Vignette

    4. Done!

    B. Profile (preset) installation:

    Download: http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.co...downloadid=122
    or https://www.sendspace.com/file/14i1pv

    1. Put unziped profile ("ilcod_yoyo") to main folder \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover .
    2. Start Il-2 CoD. You will see grey task (info) like this:



    3. Take flight or use it from menu "Shift + F2" (You can chenge it for example for Shift + F9 in settings option) and load profile from the main CoD folder.
    It must looks like this (example):




    4. Enjoy new quality of CoD ;>.

    -----------------------------------
    btw.

    1/ I used advenced filters (some looks like pilot gogles) and sometimes You can notice this in menu (its CoD problem perhaps) http://s10.ifotos.pl/img/Image-368_asaaapx.jpg (but You can live with this I think ;>, more infos about this bug You can find on ReShade Forum).
    2/ How to unistall? Just remove from CoD folder reshade-shaders and files ilcod_yoyo, dxgi, dxgi.dll .
    3/ Dindn't test it online, but spot is ok I think, example - find enemy : ) http://s2.ifotos.pl/img/Launcher-_asasrwn.jpg .
    4/ Update: 4.04.17 I did small update - "Deband option" (for better sky view, less sky rings, some info about this HERE). Difference is small but the sky looks w little better. The manual was changed (You can unistall old version and take the new).



    My additional advices:
    You can also use AA in the game x2-x8 and this settings in nVidia Inspector:

    Works great thanks YoYo. I only have a GTX660, but the colours look more vivid and the general definition of the overall graphics look much sharper.

    Best regards,

    Great Stuff YoYo

    One suggestion if I may -

    Perhaps consider uploading the zip file of your setting onto the downloads section of ATAG- itll save the BS that the hosting sites throw up when selecting Downloads (yours currently throws people into a screen that claims you need to sign up to something to download the file - which you don't as we know)

    And Thanks for this!

    Hi YoYo. Does Reshade also have a sky 'debander' setting?

    I couldn't get this to work in full screen mode. When I hit esc. it would not go back to the game menu,it minimized back to the desk top. I had to change to Pseudo.

    The first post was updated for Deband option (new). A little less sky rings (soft transitions).

    Thanks for sharing YoYo.

    It's good to see Reshade being developed.

    Just a note to new users that it doesn't always mix well with other overlays such as TS Notifier.

    Hello, mate.
    I didn't understand how to load profile in the point 3 of your B tutorial.
    When I launch the game I see the grey table on the top of the screen but I can't do anything concerning to profile load. When I push shift+f2 nothing happens.
    Thx in advance.

    Or should I just wait when all effects will be loaded?

    ...
    Ah...I got it. It's done!

    I originally used the debander with the Yo Yo's presets. I got this...



    I saw on another ATAG thread someone with issues with deband and W10. So I uninstalled everthing following the instructions above, reinstalled and this time selected all of the presets mentioned above without deband.

    Then everything worked peachy

    Im on W10 and no any problem. I think the problem is Your Display Driver or something else.

    Re: ReShade & IL-2 CoD

    I'm running an older GTX770 and do not use the most current NVidia driver as I've found one that works well in my system. I'm at work and will have to check the version number when I get home. As per post number 1, should I use the newest driver to use ReShade? Is anyone running with an older driver without issues?

    No, if its ok - it's ok , sometimes the driver could be a main reason of CTD. Enjoy!

    How did you fix it? Shift+F2 does nothing and I do see the grey intro pane.

    EDIT:

    Got it also... You have to be actually flying in order to get the ReShade screen up.

    Re: ReShade & IL-2 CoD

    I've set up a ReShade profile for CLoD using only Deband ( worth the price of admission) , FXAA and Vibrance. Pretty happy so far. Game performance doesn't seem to be affected hardly if any. haven't tested with TS Overlay yet however. The ReShade's FXAA seems very effective, on par with the ingame AA. I want to pull up the contact spotting mission and see how the two compare. I'm thinking since you can toggle the ReShade effects on and off that you could turn FXAA off on the fly during situations where the added ability of contact spotting without AA would be helpful. Have any of you compared ReShade FXAA vs ingame?

    Hi YoYo,

    This is the best Reshade profile I've seen. It not only looks great but also doesn't degrade contact spotting much. Thank-you for sharing.

    Just a note to your advice above. In-game AA (TFS patched) currently acts only as a switch for FXAA. Any selection other than 'none' just switches on FXAA. Enabling this will just run FXAA twice. It's not possible to alter in-game AA via the driver as there is none.


    Thanks again,

    Septic.

    Re: ReShade & IL-2 CoD

    Well so far ReShade is a winner. I believe I can spot contacts a bit better with the ReShade FXAA than the ingame AA. Using the "Contact Spotting" mission I saw them better. The sky DeBanding is a huge plus. My profile is very basic. Just using Vibrance to slightly enhance the colors and the FXAA and Deband. Performance is excellent/unchanged. No artifacts on menus. In my troubleshooting it was the Ambient Lighting that was causing that. No problems with the maps on the ATAG server or with the TS Notifier overlay. And I can toggle off the effects ingame should I choose. So far I'm very pleased!
