It might freeze up to a couple of seconds. But it's possible your GPU can't handle it. Memory isn't affected but depending on your GPU fps might be affected severely.
The class files are optional (only needed for the in-game menu).

I left it loading for a full 10 mins but still white screen with a loading cursor
So probably my gpu is a POS, AMD Radeon HD5670 1GB

I use the latest build

I'm afraid that doesn't look like it could handle Atmosphere=Precomputed.

[slibenli]

When using Atmopsphere=Precomputed you have an in-game menu for several HDR related parameters.
For this to work you need a bunch of *.class files. I uploaded them some time ago.

Are these the same parameters that are featured in the config file?
If not, an upload by anybody will be appreciated.

Nope, they are only accessible from the menu.
If anybody has them - the class files in question are found in com/maddox/il2ge/

Here are the class files - Just unzip and drop straight into MODS folder

Thanks

It's also necessary to assign a hotkey in conf.ini
Could you post that too? It was something like GraphicsExtender.ShowMenu.

Thanks slibenli and Squashman.
I just started trawling through all of the replies and found this on page 68.

[HotKey game]
Shift F8=GraphicsExtender.ShowMenu

Wow! these java files make a huge difference and should be included in the main install.You obviously have a good reason for not doing this. I've noticed that in-game edited values can't be saved and have to be configured with every gaming session, unless I am missing something. Are the default values stored in the classfiles?

Thanks Slibenli for all the infos,Squashman for files and rogeroger for the tips.

I gained acess to those new settings but whatever I modify, I can't lower the "whiteburn" effect on plane skin and haze.

[Yaro59]

If only... if only, in my BAT, the sky in the rear view mirror of every plane where it can be turned on would be the color of the sky and not deep black it would be beautiful.
Maybe someone could advise me what to try to do in IL2GE to make this happen.

[rogeroger]

I'm using these settings:
exposure= 10
brightness_curve_exponent= 1.30
saturation= 1
texture brightness= 1.18
texture_brightness_curve_exponent=1.60
texture_saturation= 1

[Atoka220]

What the...
I can't even believe it's still Il-2 '46 lol

[rollnloop]

Thanks for sharing rogeroger.

Now to save these settings and get them by default ?

Hello everyone,

I want to share screenshot with tweaked il2ge.ini and graphic extender menu (in-game)

Il2ge.ini

# enable graphics extender
EnableGE=on

exposure= 10
brightness_curve_exponent= 1.30

NOTE: I am also using reshader along with graphic extender too.

If EnableTransparentShader=on
The smoke shadow after the plane crashes will be very strange

I went back to IL2GE last week after a long break and just using reshade. Sadly i was still plagued by the lines on the terrain which has never been resolved?!? So back to reshade for me 😕
