FSX Realistic Night!

Featured Replies

That's odd I'm using the Vsync modand and it works both in windowed and full screen!

 

The only thing I might be doing differently is that I have an ATI card and because I use my PC pretty much only for FSX I use the windows classic theme exclusively. Not sure this is relevant but might be worth a try as a long shot.

The Windowed VSync mod posted by Word Not Allowed requires you to re-enable Aero after FSX disables it. (I used the FSUIPC.ini batch file method he suggested). I am pretty sure this was what was crashing my FSX with this new FXAA mod installed, because the crash occurred right after it switched back to Aero. As I said I did not clear my shader cache folder, maybe that was it (?) . I did try running it with FXAA on and FXAA off via NI, no go in either case.

OK, I just got antsy and retried this, deleted everything in my Win7 C:\Users\" "\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FSX folder (Shaders), beforehand.

Windowed Vsync is working, and the FXAA mod is working as well. It is certainly darker, and i appreciate that the VC is not so dark as it was with ENB. I used Preset 1 at dusk in my test and noted a purplish tint. FXAA is not enabled in NI at all, but I also noticed a general blurriness of menus and text, not major, but noticable. I will play with some of the suggested settings in the FXAA Tool later. I am wondering is their any point to using Shade now? Or is it redundant?

Shade now? Or is it redundant?

 

I still find Shade to be much more programmable and realistic for FSX. Also dont care about the FXAA, if I were to use it for AA I would set it up in N.I. as this mod came out before NI and Nvidia drivers had the FXAA option. That's my opinion of course, not right not wrong. Tried this night mod along time ago and always went back to Shade. The difference is 10 or 15 bucks.

I have to say I very much like the coloration effect of this mod and the increased darkness level outside at dawn/dusk/night, while remaining bright inside the VC. Also, I found that changing certain settings within the FXAA Tool was what was causing my FSX crash at switchover to Aero mode, for anyone that cares to know or is having the same problem. Reverting back to the default settings solved it. I am going to use this mod for awhile and see how i like it.

One thing I have noticed with this mod in windowed mode is if you drag an undocked window to a second monitor the effect is disabled. To get it back you have to drag the undocked window back to the primary monitor, alt enter into full screen and alt enter again into windowed mode.

Can anyone else confirm a noticeable fps drop with this mod?

What with the shade effect? Yes I have a 2.5 FPS drop with it on.

FSX became unstable after using this so I removed the files but now FSX won't start without injFX_Shaders. Any ideas?

Look in the installation zip and remove ALL the files, not only the injFX... folder.

Uh. Hello, YES

For easy uninstall just remove it from the programs & features in control panel. Or download the IObit uninstaller to do the job for ya.

Thanks for the help, I neglected to delete d3d.dll and that was causing the problem.

Regarding post #115 above, I have NI Ver. 1.9.6.6 and can't find the FXAA Post Process Profile. I have been following this thread. Is there a file I am missing either in FSX main folder or in injFX_Shaders folder?
