It's okay, do not worry, just delete the mod.
We warned that this whole thing is very subjectively, the only
measured parameter - a small increase in FPS

Take a look at the water reflection too....I noticed a more natural wave reflection!

Anyway I also noticed a too shining effect using this together the Avala planeshine on light colored plane skin (I used the A5M with the stock skin and the Spitfire Mk.Vc 12:00 clear weather) but I haven't edited the reflection value...

All the best!

I will leave it in just for the FPS reduction - and I will admit that yes my water looks better with real looking waves near coasts now

Making153, I assume for the water reflection you don't need the entire mod.
Not sure but I think you only need the effects/Sunglare and maps/tex folders from the mod folder.(-?)

I also mainly see increased water beauty and possibly a bit more light on aircraft skins and canopies, but I already ran very nice il2_core.dll+ il2_corep4.dll files-which I had grabbed last year to be able to run HSFX with my Ati at all. (Now the former problematic drivers are no problem anymore).
Also my config.ini settings were already pretty much optimised and my Ati 5770 used to give me very cool land lighting and aircraft reflections as well. So I guess this mod is just a bit candy on top for me. :)
Keep it up!
Cheers

I have to redirect my previous statement. Maybe the landscape effect is not too strong for me, but the aircraft's skins and canopy (checked with F-86 and a kickass skin by F-22-Raptor-2006) seem to shine even more now and the water/water+ sun effects are simply awesome.

This all looks pretty fantastic. Another great mod to extend the life of this venerable game. Trouble is I can't get hold of the HSFX version.
Is there somewhere else that I can download the HSFX version other than the link in Skipper's first post? I can't find my way around the Russian web site (and using google translate is no good as it does not include the anti-bot number). Also seems that the site wants to install a toolbar to my browser, which I am not too impressed with.
Anyway, any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Veg,

Type the numbers shown into the box on the lower left and press the green button underneath the box,  on the next page untick the box near the wine glass icon and then click the download link above it. This will ensure you dont get the toolbar installed as well.

question, do i have to use the dll's that come with this mod, or can i use some others, cause these ones are like that came with 4.09, regarding how they render coastlines in land geometry=3, and some of the other beta ones give much better picture (less jaggies) in the distance when running land geometry=3.
