Looks like problems with effect shadows - do those artifacts disappear when setting "Effecs=0" in conf.ini?

Yes, you are right. Those articacts disappear when I set "Effecs=0" in conf.ini

Attempting to change the reticle brightness to lower values through the "Toggle Reticle Brighness" key produces a blue reticle instead of a very transparent one. Reticle at high brightness with il2ge:


Reticle at low brightness with il2ge:

Hmm, I can't find that key binding. In which section is it and does it require an extra mod?
Do you mean "Tinted Reticle Dimmer" ? - Edit - Nah that doesn't seem to be it.

No, it's stock 4.12, found near the bottom of the misc section.

Arrgh - there it is 
Thanks

This is my next approach to this mod. It's the same every time - the game doesn't start. I met all the requirements from the readme file. My computer is: GeForce GTX 660 Ti - driver for it 344.75 (I know - very old, but works well with IL-2), Intel E8400 processor, Windows 7 64 bit, il2ge-installer downloaded today. I'm good with mods, but here I have no idea what the problem is. I paste the contents of il2ge_full.log and I will be grateful for your help.

OK, the problem is that your driver doesn't support the method glReadnPixels, which is part of OpenGL 4.5.
Installing a newer driver might fix that.
I should probably mention in the requirements that il2ge requires OpenGL 4+.

Thank you so much for help. How do I install the new driver - will I know if it helped.
I don't like changing something that works well. As you can see - it stopped.

Fixed in https://gitlab.com/vrresto/il2ge/-/jobs/422904786/artifacts/raw/il2ge-installer.exe?inline=false.

There is a side effect though, which is wrongly lit objects in some cockpits, for example of the La-7:



Only noticable with the setting Atmosphere=Precomputed.

I'm using the alpha blending mode as a hint to determine whether a rendered object is self illuminating, which fails in the above case.
More precisely: If the opengl blending mode is set to GL_SRC_ALPHA,GL_ONE - I think this corresponds to the option blendAdd in the material definition files.

My graphics card supports OpenGL 4.2. Enough for your mod?
