Thanks for a very detailed tutorial. I stopped using the Graphics Extender due to the flickering your conf change takes care of that and carmasters water =4 with all the links💯. Very good tutorial. I hope the IL2 community takes note of your video.👍1
@@sercrets9531 Just posted a GE B.A.T. video th-cam.com/video/T2gn56nnhSE/w-d-xo.html I have some minor issues to correct once I figure out how square shadows, and no detail in water. Other than that it looks pretty good. I will be adding WxTech effects later.
What has kept me from jumping into il2ge is the lack of application of shaders upon objects. Distant roads, clouds, damage smokes, etc., are drawn as though there is no intervening atmosphere by which to scatter light and thereby reduce contrast. The incongruous harshness of their appearance against the beautifully hazed landscape is too aesthetically jarring for my taste. Another oddity is the treatment of water seen in the distance or at a low angle, where it is rendered as more like a smooth, fully reflective mirror. The almost perfect match in brightness with the sky immediately above makes for an essentially invisible sea horizon. In reality there is almost always sufficient absorption and scatter by water to make the horizon darker than the adjacent sky. One thing I really like, besides the obvious atmospheric hazing, is the way shadowed sides of objects have the lovely cool hue from the light fill provided by the blue sky.
Hmm good points! On the subject of the water, I am experimenting with reshade to tone down the gamma a bit since I noticed that the gamma is blow all the way out. I would recommend you make a post on the graphics extender forum page on SAS and suggest these things to them! I may make a video with reshade later on after testing.
Hi, I cant get the files: iL2fb.ini, iL2ge.ini, iL2ge.log, or iL2ge_full.log to appear when launching the game. I'm using VP modpack by the way. You mentioned something about perfect mode? How do I achieve that? All my video modes are pumped up to the max. Very stuck here. Hope you can help!
@@sercrets9531 ok I've installed the new selector 5.1.2. It begins load with the picture of the Shinden and says IL2 selector 5.1.2. Also the graphics extender files have appeared! However when the game gets to 70% load it crashes and quits. How do I solve this?
Great! Very interesting issue again... I would recommend checking the ram configurations inside the selector, however that does not seem to be likely the issue as usually it refuses to run at all. Try running as Admin, and confirming that your game resolution you set in the conf.ini is the same as the monitor your using it on. Hope this can atleast help a little.
@@danbell124 I thought I would give this a try using VP. after the initial install the GE files did not show. I then updated the selector to 5.1.2 and the GE files showed. I made sure the GE was enabled in the .ini file. I ran the game it started up. I went to the QMB to run a mission on start up the GE text was not seen on the mission load. The game ran fine, but for some reason GE did not start?
@@callsignnictmere465 yeah this seems a little odd. My game launches then reaches 70% load before crashing. I can't even get as far as you haha. Perseverance
Thankyou so much for this tutorial, it finally makes sense
Glad I could help!

Hmm, very interesting problem. Do you have SAS Selector 5.1.2? Forgot to mention that in the video.
