I was following a guide for improving VR graphics in DVS and found something
that makes IL-2 look better as well, in the nvidia setting put colour
saturation to 60%, mine was on 50%, looks a lot “richer”, especially on Rhein
Map, which has always looked a bit “grey” before.

Hi Guys,
Just my small observation on the topic. Like you know I'm using Reshade for
better color saturation in game and a sharping shader called AdaptiveSharpen
(I'm not using ingame Sharpen feature). Last time I made some tests and
disabled AdaptiveSharpen in Reshade (ingame Sharpen still unchecked) and the
game was horrible. Blurred like I've never seen before. Blurry cockpit,
landscape, everything. I felt like my vision defect (I'm shortsighted) has
doubled. I put the shader back up again and all returned to normal.
I think there is something wrong with the game when you need to use
sharpening tools to make ok for 20/20 eye sight. Or maybe there is something
wrong with my rig or me. I'm going to ask my son to look at it. He's got
20/20 eyesight and can tell if the image is blurred with sharpen off.

Well Guys I drained my piggy bank, took out a mortgage and bought a RTX 2080
Ti, mostly for better DCS performance and with an eye to VR in the future.
It arrived yesterday (Saturday) and it went in and was working from the off
(same driver as the GTX980). I tried it out off-line with the visibility
mission I posted last week.
In IL-2 BG I was disappointed to find no improvement.... until I went full
Ultra and turned HDR on (HDR didn't seem to make difference with the 980).
The first attachment is with HDR On, the second with it off. A clear
difference in a/c spotting. The third attachment is my in-game settings and
of course I am running Reshader a la Cina which I am not going to faff
around with at the moment. I'll get to that and other in-game settings later
although it may not make much difference as I'm convinced the faults lie in
the game graphics.
In DCS I am running four separate viewports (some people don't realise that
the card is generating four different views, not carving up one large view).
My fps in flight was around 25-30. It is now quite steady on 70. Each
viewport is over 2 megapixels, total > 8mpixels. VR Valve Index only
requires two 'viewports', separately generated images of 1440x1600 =
2.3mpixels each, whereas my screens are 1920x1080 = 2.07mpixels and Index
therefore has 10% more pixels on each 'viewport', so the 2080Ti should be
able to run Index at a pretty high fps. Out of interest I tested two and
three viewport views on my screens and the results came back as follows:
4 viewports (current setup, total 7680x1080,
8.3mpixels)............................... 70 fps
3 viewports (forward view, no instruments, total 5760x1080,
6.2mpixels)......100fps
2 viewports (forward view on two screens, total 3840x1080, 4.15mpixels)....
130fps
VR Index is 2 viewports, total 2880x1600, 4.6mpixels. So, I guess VR (Valve
Index) will fall somewhere between 100 and 130 as there are more pixels
involved on each screen but surely must well exceed 100 fps ?? IMHO I would
expect around 120fps.
Of course it won't stop me getting killed but at least now I have a better
chance of seeing them coming =-O

Hi Klem,
I checked your mission again yesterday. Made sure I set the expert mode
with alternate visibility unchecked. It was quite different. All the planes
seemed to flicker. I could barely see the last 3 aircraft on 1 o'clock and
the last one on my 10. But when I just touched my zoom in button all barely
seeable contacts turned black and were easily visible. But that behavior of
the planes is known and there are few posts on the forum describing it.
If I were to spot the furthest contacts on my 10 o 1 in multiplayer I would
be unable to do that to be honest. I would even struggle to see those 8 km
away in the same lighting conditions. I will try to post a video from what
I see from the cockpit.
Cheers,
Cina
P.S. I recently unchecked 4K textures in BOX graphics settings (Dutch
pointed that to me last time) and I must say that this eliminated stutter
further. I only get them at mission start on the airfield and they never
come back when I'm airborne. The image is crisp as before and I didn't
notice any degradation of image sharpness. The side effect is
that the skins of aircraft seem to pop up when you suddenly look around in
a more pronounced way. But I can live with that and this is also well
pointed out to developers in few posts on IL2 forum.

Thanks Cina, meanwhile I am going to recheck my monitor settings to match
popular reviews although I have done this before.

Hi Klem,
I will check that for you during the weekend. Hot period started at work.

Cina/Guys,
I have set my graphics to exactly what Cina uses. It doesn't seem to
help at all. I used the attached mission in which there are Spitfires
from 3km to 10km at 1km intervals in front ranging from 10 o'clock (3km)
through to 1 o'clock (10km). I start the mission and leave it on
autopilot. I look around immediately and the only one I can see is 3km
away at about 9:30 o'clock. It is a very small dot just a few pixels
(I've attached a jpg of it). If I zoom in I can just see the one at
about 10:30, 4km away. btw Speed should be 200mph.
In the attached screenshot I have circled the 3km a/c. Cina I'd be
grateful if you could run the mission and send me a screenshot of what
you see, especially in the 9 through 12 o'clock view.
Thanks guys,
klem
