Dear Storebror, dear Bomberkiller,
I am struggling with my Logitech azerty keyboard searching for a scroll key.
I could choose a key at random but what is its name in Sweetfix?
Best regards.

I am struggling with my Logitech azerty keyboard searching for a scroll key.

http://support.logitech.com/en_us/article/12444?product=a0qi00000069vE9AAI

I could choose a key at random but what is its name in Sweetfix?

Open ReShade Assistant.
Choose Profile:


Click Profile Settings and assign virtual key code for "RESHADE_TOGGLE_KEY", here for instance mine is set to F11:


Virtual Key Codes can be found e.g. here: http://cherrytree.at/misc/vk.htm

Best regards - Mike

Dear Storebror,
it works. I changed the  non-existing scroll key into F1=112 in the Global setting text in the folder Sweet.fx. I didnt find the Reshade assistant.
Many thanks to you, to Baggo and to Bomberkiller.
Best regards.

[SAS~Storebror]

I didnt find the Reshade assistant.

That's true when you started with BK's sample folder.
His sample is based on ReShade 1.0.0.915 which didn't have any assistant, instead you had to configure everything manually in text files and all files were stored in the game folder.
Meanwhile we're at ReShade 2.0.3f1, Sweetfx has been integrated in ReShade, only two files go into your game folder and the configuration takes place in a graphical tool called "ReShade Assistant" which is part of ReShade 2.x.

You can get a fresh copy at http://reshade.me/ if you like to try.

Best regards - Mike

Right!

This version with reasonable settings I chose for the IL-2 pilots had the problems with "SweetFX". 

Mike, thanks for the link.

Mike, thank you for your comments. The only time I tried it I wasunable to get any success. I'm going to start a new set of tests. Probably not in general, but for some ScreenShots and details the DOF of Reshade could be very useful. What I got working with OpenGL in the Render for the VisualMOD is too slow and unusable.

Regards, Pablo

It works... in a way... and at the same time it doesn't.
Getting DOF activated in Reshade is quite simple.
You select your active profile, add the DOF shader and save the profile.
You can select the DOF shader with a right mouse-click and adjust settings, but for my short test I left it at default settings.
All of this can be done using the "ReShade Assistant", no need to manually frickle with the settings files.

The result is this (at best haha), Full HD on click:


The problem however is that the focal point only works for one specific perspective, other perspectives have the focus set somewhere else, e.g. in the distance:


Certain perspectives show completely distorted edges:


And again others even blank out whole parts of the image:

The issues might be able to resolve by adjusting the DOF shader settings, I don't know and didn't check.

Best regards - Mike

ReShade can still be a tricky thing at times, beware of side effects!

Yesterday I've tried to get rid of a graphics issue for one hour.
It apparently happened after installing a new Nvidia Graphics driver update.
The effect was like having a non-working anisotropic filter:
Flying low over the water, I've had a quite narrow circle of "crisp" water shown with a sudden change to a very softened version of the same waves.
The edge between the two zone (crisp / soft) was clearly visible.
Screenshot is at home right now, I can show it later.

Since right before that flight I installed the new graphics driver, I've checked my settings first but everything looked fine.
Disabling AF in Nvidia Control Panel showed the same picture, so I was confident that I had to deal with a graphics driver/settings issue.
Finally I rolled back the graphics driver to previous version: Same issue.
I checked conf.ini, everything fine.
So I gave up and tried again this morning.

Kicked up a fresh vanilla modact 5 game: No issue.
Started Ultrapack again: Same issue.

So I checked the difference and finally tried to disable opengl32.dll in Ultrapack: Bingo. No issue.

I've tackled it down to my trials with "Depth of Field" then.
Turns out that even when you disable shaders in ReShade Assistant after having tried them, they still stay in the "pipeline.cfg" file which enlists all applicable shaders of a profile.
Albeit being disabled, some of the shaders seem to show effects (and as you can see in my case, sometimes quite negative ones) and to make matters worse, even disabling ReShade using the Toggle key will not fix that type of issue.

I ended up streamlining my "pipeline.cfg" file so that it only contains the shaders I'm really using, and voilá: ReShade working again and issue is solved.

Best regards - Mike

[SAS~Storebror]

*bump*
This was the effect my game was suffering from when ReShade didn't really disable unused shaders, in this case most likely something "depth of field" related.

 I had similar issues with the new Nvidia drivers in CLOD so reverted back and all now good once more.

It is not letting me post...

Dammit... Ok, finally, it's letting me post.

Sorry, I had a whole thing typed out, really polite, thanking everybody, etc, but I just spent ten minutes fighting with it to let me post for some reason... So, it's the short SHORT version now.

I have CUP working successfully, and after some intermittent failures getting SweetFX to work, I gave up. Then I found ReShade, noticed other people have it working... ish. When enabled, it hardcrashes the executable immediately. The log it generates follows at the end of my post.

My System:
Windows 10
Intel I7-6700k
Nvidia 980ti, latest drivers
32gb DDR4 2666mhz

I'm sorry it's not encapsulated in the code thingy, but it says I can't post external links when I do that, and it's... kind of important to the task at hand.

I'm sorry for the link posting issues, we took this opportunity to explain the background here.
Concerning your ReShade issue, generally your system should be fine to run ReShade, my bet is that the issues have something to do with the fact that it's a Steam game installation.

There's a couple more things that need to be checked but this would be step 1:
I'd recommend to copy the whole game folder ("D:\Steam\steamapps\common\IL 2 Sturmovik 1946\" in your case) to a different place, e.g. D:\Games\IL2\Modact, then download and install Modact and then the Direct2Drive Patch.
Which Modact version you'll have to choose depends on the game version you're running currently.
If it's 4.12.2m, then install Modact 5.3.
If it's 4.13.1m, then install Modact 6.1.
If it's 4.13.2m, then downgrade to 4.13.1 first and then proceed with Modact 6.1 installation.

Next step would be to check your conf.ini since it seems like you're running your game in DirectX mode currently, which is not good for IL-2.
You should choose OpenGL instead and adjust your conf.ini so your game runs in "perfect mode", see here.

Last but not least ReShade generates it's own logfile.
When you run your game in OpenGL mode, the logfile name is "opengl32.log". The contents of that log would be important in case of a ReShade crash.

Best regards - Mike

Final Edit



Confirmed, working as intended now. I had the wrong ReShade version evidently. I had one that had "Mediator" instead of "Assistant" which is apparently much older. Odd,  because I clicked the main download link, I'm sure... Anyway, whatever, it's fixed now. Thank you for your assistance (even though it was older posts that got me on the right track)





I wasted.... Soooo... many hours. Every waking moment of the last week over something that stupid... Sad.
