Improving graphics quality

I’ve had some success with ReShade, here’s my ReShadePresent.ini:

Just make sure you’ve downloaded the relevant shaders through the ReShade installer, you can re-download them I think if you run the installer again.
The effect is probably a bit softer, more vibrant, dynamic and cinematic HOWEVER…there seems to be some sort of shader interference when you’re using your ‘alt-v’ visor at high altitude, above the cirrus layer, as it tends to start to flicker between visor/no-visor. I haven’t figured out how to fix this yet as I’m not sure what’s causing it. Play around with it.
Here’s some screenshots so far, apart from some posterising with the vignette shader, I’m happy with the results so far:

Really beautiful and more realistic screenshots. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Can you explain how the file you shared with us is used? -
This looks great!
When installing ReShade, any options here?:

ReShadePresets.ini sits in with your ‘Falcon BMS.exe’ eg. Falcon BMS4.3x\Bin\x64
You should already have one there if you’ve installed ReShade. Make a backup copy of your current settings to go back to and plonk mine in to try it out.

Sorry I couldn’t tell you which ones I used belong to which group. I just selected them all and picked out the ones which made an appreciable difference.

I have literally no creative talent or graphics experience… I have absolutely no idea…I am an absolute fraud…
Right. Yes.
THAT is what I MEANT to say.
My original post was a typo.
(Though - I must add - Haz’ is a superb chap AND has the youthful face of an angel.)

I’m an atheist, but I pity any religions that have angels with my face 34 now dude, I think I was possibly still in my teens, early 20s when you invited me to FF beta test. Time has flown…

WTF…!? Dude…! You are right, you know.
I still recall many of our Dev Forum discussions like it was LITERALLY yesterday. It really HAS been a LONG time since we were dev’ing FF4.0.I still have all of the photos of the Team (which include several of the current BMS Devs, and which were sneakily added to the installer, and hidden inside the Docs folder after install) and - YES…
It WAS that one of you which I was picturing when I made yesterday’s post.Sheesh. You wouldn’t look like THAT anymore, 'eh…?
I guess that Pumpyhead no longer looks like a bronzed god of masculinity and fluttering, long (moon-obscuring) eyelashes.
Haz’… you have made me feel old…
Guess I’ll perk up after my glass of prune juice, and seated aerobics.

I tell you excel not well, at recalling. It was sun-obscuring eyelashes.

Oops.
Eyelashes… FINGERNAILS… ellipsis et.al.
Either way, those two body-parts were both memorable times when I was forced - by you - to ADMIT that I was… not completely, 100% correct.
Does it feel good forcing the humble-pie down my throat; scarring me for these - as Haz’ pointed out - MANY years…?
Ah, well. At least I could always… SPELL…!!! GORNY SCORES…!!!

[psst] it wasn’t pie…

LOL.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Nice little ellipsis deployment. Not a GREAT deployment. But… yes… certainly a quaint one.
