SweetFX for BMS
-
Well I think its a known issue and been worked on so AA is WIP, so lets give them a chance to get it right……but yeah even at max AA settings AA was as you say ‘minimal’, but can’t understand why the FPS is taken hits at high AA settings if the result is poor?, oh well hope they sort it.;)
You do have to disable In game’s AA/MultiSampling, But, You can still enable the graphics Card Drivers AA and force them to run AA,
So SweetFx will not crash that way, and thus you can have better AA, and still use SweetFX other settings - if your graphics card can handle it.SweetFX’s AA is a different faster lighter method for smoothing, it is known as faster but has lesser quality than traditional AA.
For me it’s good enough. for some - not. up to you.
About FPS drop - make sure you check correctly :
1. BMS with MultiSampling ON , and no SweetFX installed.
2 .Then BMS with MultiSampling OFF with SweetFX running ONLY SMAA, and not any other thing.Do not compare FPS only by disabling SFX, pressing the Scroll lock key! then you will leave BMS with no AA at all, and sure enough - your FPS will rise…

I like what this program has to offer and the many tweaks I have applied to the game has brought new life to the game. However I have followed your instructions and im not seeing any FPS gain. Just a significant drop. Its going to force me to kick it to the curb

By Redfalcon, Correct, switching AA to Override Application settings works with SweetFX, however I’m sure that doing this can cause CTD’s in BMS?..…
I have Graphics Card AA set to Overide Application with no problems at all.

You can still either run it without AA settings and just use your default ones…via gfx setup oof your driver and enable all the rest in BMS except the one tick for Multisampling.
Or-use gapa, see a few pages before here. Effect is soo similar and it does not hurt anything.Good luck

Hey crazyTom, I think your right, GaPa is awesome and no FPS hit, but how do you get screen shots when in HDR mode etc with gapa?, all the screen shots just look like normal stock BMS colours?
Well, redfalcon, TBH you don’t. BMS does not allow to take shots captured with fraps, because for Il-2 I capture my shots with fraps when gapa runs and I want to take the ambient.
Maybe a newer version of fraps does that. The only thing you could try would be a Windows screenshot (alt+print, then ctrl+prnt to copy that one into paint).
Good Luck!BTW you just gave me an idea for another sim…;)

I can’t uncheck read only from BMS folder(and all folder).

Hello,
here are my best Settings……Update 2
for better FPS….
Cheers;)

I get less performance (7 or 8 FPS less) what am I doing wrong? I have installed the latest drivers from NVIDIA (v.310.70) and I have activated a special setting when starting BMS. Of course I put all the files in the right place and I disabled Multisampling in BMS graphic setup. These two images are the settings for my graphics card (gfx560ti):

if u read the thread most people suffer a fps drop of what u have, it is upto you to decide if the fps drop is worth having for more vibrant graphics, it’s worth tweaking sweet fx until desired graphics and framerates are acceptable or just disable sweetfx.:p

HDR and Bloom in SweetFX……off
