GEMFX - bring the visuals of BMS to the next level! :)
-
When u r behind 1-2-3 layers of glass and specially in direct sunlight environment and those surfaces ainât pure clear by definition or other params (dust scratches etc) the vision ainât crystal clear as with eyes directly looking without glass in front or whatever.
and since reflections are static in BMS those kind of effects makes it come closer to reality.More Realistic⌠, even when we allready are like blind bats with narrow fov and shitty resolutions and contrast VS real life flying.
YeahâŚ

Well when in dusty environment and a ray of light comes in u see it. U could say this lens flare effect could be assumed the same.
If you can see a ray of sun due to the dust, you should kick your crew chief for not cleaning your pit like he should have
Seriously, as a photographer I can only say a lens flare is not the same as a visual ray of lightâŚ
As amraam & dee-jay say. A flare is not something a human eye can see and one should clean his expensive material paid for by tax payers, so I donât get the clue of the proposed âmodâ⌠-

Never see that, for information ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_flare

Alright guys, I see alot of debating over lens flare but not enough of people ACTUALLY using the mod. Too much book cover judging and not enough playing with the mod.
Hereâs the thing, the lens flare is OPTIONAL. Infact, every effect in GEMFX is OPTIONAL! Get it?
If you want lens flare, great. Use it and tick the box. Same with the other effects. If you donât want a certain effect, untick it. You can use GEMFX to only play with the contrast, saturation and brightness of the image if thatâs all you want to do OR you can make it look like Battlefield 6, lol, go right ahead. Up to you.
But please, to anybody who is criticizing it, you make the fallacy of your argument about what you see from what iâve posted in the screenshots rather than having actually⌠you know⌠download it, test it out and try it yourself. The screenshots iâve posted are with all the effects on. But remember, all the effects are optional. What you want to use is up to you. Chill & be cool.

Iâm using it with all effects off and itâs not affecting my framerate.
-
I used and seen both digital and physically created lens flare. I still have my film photo camera :lol:
This means what?Itâs not a big deal. Itâs just as the Op says a matter of choice and preference.
Not a sim thing just visual eyecandy. Makes pit more visually alive and spicy.
Not a big deal. -
⌠download it, test it out and try it yourself.
I did. Just like Sweet Fx ⌠pointless IMHO. Just âdifferentâ and may make few ppl happy because they can set the âcartoonishâ color-schemes of their dreams.
This is my personal opinion (and I try to explain why I think so, not just by saying: because it looks nice/not nice).
So ⌠you think it is the next level. I think it is crap.
Both we are happy to be able to use/not use it.
-
I may be one of the few that thinks it doesnât look goodâŚ.stock BMS looks better to me.
-
Iâm using it with all effects off and itâs not affecting my framerate.
And it looks great too.
-
I dont see much difference.

My problem is how incredibly rude people are being about the mod. End of the day if you donât like it thatâs fine, but words like âcrapâ and ânot realisticâ arenât productive for an addons development and people should be grateful that others in the community are willing to put time in to developing addons. Might be why the addon community of falcon isnât bigger if this is how theyâre received by those who fly BMS. So please if you donât like an addon so be it, no need to attack this addon itâs not a big deal and if you donât want to use the script DONT and if it adds effects that some players might want for their experience so be it. Unbelievable.

1st ⌠this is not an âAdd-Onâ.
2nd ⌠anybody can give his opinion without being rude towards someone. It is the case here.
3rd ⌠We (BMS team members) are spending a huge amount of time trying to make BMS the most realistic sim ever ⌠hence, when someone is coming with something and sell it as âthe solution to make BMS betterâ ⌠we have the right to give our POV about the stuff.
4th ⌠Welcome in Falcon world.Unbelievable.

Gents - just let it go. This isnât even a Falcon specific mod created by a member of this community⌠itâs for any game. People are entitled to like it or hate it, but keep the comments targeted towards the sim/mod, and not the people giving their opinions.

Sorry, but I think the stock BMS looks better. I didnât read all the post, so I donât know what everyone else said, but I donât think I was rude about it. Itâs not my cup of tea and I think stock BMS looks better.

Your right Cali but when someone starts a thread with GEMFX - bring the visuals of BMS to the next level! expectations are set. And its all down hill from there.
And like they say âif you canât stand the heat get out of Kuwaitâ ( or was that kitchen )
-
LOL a gfx enhancements or modification tool became a big issue.
Respect wise I believe itâs an overkill. And I mean that from all Aâs as Aâs=aspects.If the title of the thread is wrong or misleading a mod could kindly ask the Op and just change it⌠No need to take it further and go eating our flesh here.
So are we going to make it a bigger issue?

Incredibly rude responses by some in the community here. Given how flexible the program is, that ALL the graphics options are entirely selectable (even the lens flare, as iâve said before⌠smh) and the communityâs support for SweetFX, I thought theyâd be taking to GEMFX like a duck to water. Apparently not⌠how sad
Thereâs nothing misleading about the title, BMSâs graphics are very basic and visually unrealistic compared to todays standards. Essentially GEMFX simulates DX10 shader effects in DX9 games
The only thing misleading is that certain members are making the case against the mod without actually trying it and using it. Theyâre basing their judgment off my early screenshots of the mod and that is where you fail in your arguments. Point being, if youâre going to debate or argue against something, make sure your knowledge about that very thing youâre arguing against is rock solid beforehand. Doing otherwise is where you display ignorance for all to see. Too bad you canât delete your posts now, so a nice long slow clap to those that committed this basic fallacy of logical reasoning.
As for myself I think this is where iâm going to leave the BMS community for good. Too often I see certain key members making rude remarks over the contributions of others, getting into pathetic pissing competitions over petty, minute issues (like the boring old DCS vs BMS debates, etc) that, personally, I have better things in my life to devote my time to. Itâs lame. I choose not to take part of and be a member of that group and relevant mentality
To those that have been pleasant and respectful towards me during my time here, thank you for your maturity. If the moderators could delete my account, iâd be much appreciative.
All the best
