Problems with DX10SF and SweetFX

[Fi5kuS 57]

Hi all!

 

I decided I wanted to try the DX10SF. I became so frustrated with OOM I just had to give it a try. However, I've been using SweetFX in normal DX9 mode forever and Im very pleased with this setting http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/330/ which gives FSX a more natural look instead of the bright greyish look, especially during daytime. 

 

When I apply SweetFX in DX10 mode, I can observe that the correct colour appears when the aircraft (spinning in the menu) is jagging/lagging in the start. But after a few seconds the aircraft stops jagging, but the colour changes into a very dark mode and seems to loose all its anti-aliasing. Are there any fixes towards this? I've seen plenty of people combining the DX10SF with SweetFX settings, but I can't seem to get it to work properly.

 

- I have tried turning on the FXAA in Nvidia Inspector settings

- I have tried using a different injector program such as FlightFX

- I have played around with the settings of many presets but no changes

 

 

Please

You might need to use some SweetFX settings that work with DX10. I am not sure which of the settings is causing the issue described. A comparison of the .cfg files may help you.

I'm sorry. Everytime I posted it ended with an error.

 

I did use SweetFX settings that are supposedly to work with DX10. In addition, Im using version 1.5. What .cfg file are you talking about? The FSX.cfg or the sweetFX preset? 

[JSkorna 137]

The SweetFX file.

 

Might want to Search AVSIM for suggestions.

I'm the creator of that config,

 

I had managed to make a v1.5 version that looked 99% like my original but being frustrated with DX10, after I've gone back to DX9 and restored everything, I deleted the config like the stupid bloke I am.

 

All I can tell you is this:

 

- Get SFX 1.5

- Set "Curves" to either 0.4/5/6

- Turn on "Lift Gamma Gain" and use

 

     1.0/1.0/1.0 for the first settings row

     Between 1.7 and 2.5 for the second.

     1.0/1.0/1.0 for the third.

 

- Turn on "Tonemap" and play with the settings.

 

To get a good comparison, turn off sweetfx and screencap your FSX menu. Then paste it into Photoshop and add contrast to +100. Compare what you get with SFX vs the screenshot. Because this is basically what my 1.4 config does, add contrast so I don't have to when I edit my shots xD

Hi nooon,

 

Tried downloading the SweetFX Configurator v1.33 (includes default SweetFX 1.5.1) but comes back with a "NOT FOUND" reply. Would you have another link for this please?
