SweetFX for BMS
-
From what you say I gather that I’ve been doing something wrong. So, once again, and please be patient… I understand I need to uncheck ‘multisampling’ in the UI settings, right? How about the config editor settings, should I also disable the hardware section with all its shaders etc.? Then remains the question of my Catalyst CC settings; should I also leave them all at ‘Application dependent’? thx
-
Leave all CC settings to application controlled.
Follow my instructions on this post.

I don’t do that and the program still works for me. Clue is maybe to have the proper last upgrade of DX for your system and also to place the files exactly where they have to be.
My biggest concern about this program however is if it possibly can access any other hardware/gfx settings on your PC.
I got the subtle feeling other apps / sims looked different as well.
And TBH gapa still seems the less invasive choice.;) -
I think that tweaking graphics with sweetfx is great, not seen any other apps suffer but i do suffer about 7-10 fps drop in game. I still have my AA in CCC set to 8 it gives a smoother appearance without any FPS drop. Currently in Balkens campaign. The new terrain is great everybody is working on new terrain and 3D cities etc which i think is fantastic. this sim has what other sims do not have and that is a dynamic campaign, which ebthralls me.:(

I placed the files where they should be the moment the link to SweetFX appeared in the forum. Then I played with the UI settings and the AMD CCC and finally got it to work, but obtained about the same FPS drop as sub101 mentioned above. Actually, I’ve done all that out of sheer curiosity, but I must say I like the sim as it is; and even if the graphics now available to us show any shortcomings at all, it’s something I can easily live with.
Oh, and my good old friend, Mr. Edit, says I should thank all who made an effort to help. Much appreciated!…

Hi all,
About problems reported with FPS drop using SweetFX, please try to compare apples to apples… meaning - if you test AA, then check it without sweetfx installed first.
Verify AA in CCC for example is also turned off, or is set to “use application settings”,
other wise you will be running CCC AA both with SweetFX SMAA turned on…then you will definitely have an FPS drop!
check a specific scenario in a known location and angle ,and mark your FPS.
Then switch AA off in BMS and install sweetfx. check the same exact scenario only with “SMAA_ANTIALIASING 1” switched on. verify all the rest of the switches are OFF.
also split screen.
Then check again your FPS in same scenario.
All reports made so far, comparing “apples to apples” , have higher FPS.
off-course if you check it with HDR/Bloom etc’, it is not for “free”, and has it’s FPS cost.
You must run the test’s correctly or you will not get true results.Regarding CrazyTom’s concerns about “invasion” to other games… well, it is installed, or rather copy paste action, directly to your specific game folder, and runs only when you run that exe where all the dll’s are.
it’s a known safe method, like ENBseries, or “iCEnhancer” for GTA for example.
It has got nothing to do with other game folders and/or the graphic driver.
you have nothing to be concerned about.
it is safe!Another thing,
I’m playing with the SMAA settings and get very nice results regarding AA, it looks smooth and all. the problem is in the cockpit on the MFD’s,
the fonts seems a bit blurry with it. I could not find good enough settings for that.
I’m using ATI 5870. a friend with Nvidia 570 has reported no such problems.
Has anyone noticed it and found a good settings/balance for this issue?
Again, verify your drivers AA is OFF, or set to “application settings” to get true results.Thanks!

Hi ron i might try and tweak smaa up a bit from 0,05 as i do have slightly jagged edges at the moment i can cope with a 7-10 drop in fps as i still have approx 45-50:D
-
here is my set,did some tweak to Lift Gamma Gain settings to make it look more like a RL pic.but still not good.
hope someone good at that can give a help. -
Nice Work M8 !!!

Did a quick review of this thread, but nobody seems to be running this with SoftTH? Anybody got any success with SoftTH and SweetFX?

Well only ATI EYEFINITY can enjoy this and surround and TH2GO. we must contact them make them aware of the problem and hope for a solution.
-
cant manage to take splitscreen shots?
how do you do it guys?
10x…QT
-
Go into settings txt set splitscreen to 1 ie on. To see that it is working try setting tone map to 1 this will show up a big difference between the two sides of screen.

How many are we with this issue?
-
Followed all those steps. CCC setting all application controlled. the end result BMS Doesn’t start.

u mean CTD?maybe use dxwebsetup to online upgrade DX can fix.
-
Yes Just CTD’s.and ways this dx upgrade you speak off. If its DirectX I already have 11 installed. Had it before I even downloaded sweetfx

I’m interested if someone has tryed FXAA:Post Process Injection Tool for Falcon BMS
I have tryed this tool today,and I have received interesting resultsFXAA Post Process Injection Tool - FXAA Post Process Injection injects different post processing methods to games, like Anti Aliasing, Sharpening, Bloom, Color Tones etc.
Note: Currently only DirectX9 is fully supported. DirectX10/11 support will be added together with the integration of SweetFX.
DirectX8 to 9 conversion is supported with the added ENB files.LINK

Scraped,
Did you uncheck read only on your BMS Folder? I had same issue until I did it.
