Discussion ENB Series config tweaking

[luki1997a]

This thread is ENB tweaking dedicated thread

First, we have to find best-looking ENB edition for Orbiter(D3D9Client). Search for it at: http://enbdev.com/download_en.htm
Now the default one is "GTA San Andreas beta v0.074g shaders 1.4".

Installation instructions:
1. Download
2. Unpack to any folder
3. Copy all files into Modules -> startup
4. Copy all files into Orbiter root directory too
5. Start Orbiter_ng.exe and press F12 after loading a scenario

Default file for editing is "enbseries.ini" in root dir.

So, we can start tweaking:thumbup:

I'm not DirectX game developer. I've never been coding in it. Some *.fx files have to be rewritten.

1st release of enbseries.ini for Orbiter:

Venus Descent:

Reentry flames:

Earth- far view:

Earth from orbit:

Also Io looks good. But every view from atmosphere is too white.

Very impressive screenshots, I'll give it a try asap !

------------------------

EDIT

Ok just tried it.. All I can say so far is it's VERY bright, a bit too much for my screen.

IMO it's a little fuzzy but I can't find a way to tweak that in the .ini file.

 

[luki1997a]

Few tweaks in enbseries.ini file:
Enable only bloom in effects list
You may also experiment witch bloom setts.

 

[Columbia42]

Try setting bloom oversaturation to 0.

I've experimented with the enbseries module I use with FSX with some pleasing results. In this image the scenes use Jarmonik's RC21 without enbseries on the left side, and then with enbseries activated on the right:

A subtle difference, but a nice one IMHO.

Edit: The files attached here have been removed as luki1997a reported they were not working. Please try the zip I have posted below and report back if it works for you.

My .dll and .ini are attached here if you'd like to try them - just remove the .zip extension.

That's good, because it look almost like a untouched client, but atmosphere looks better:thumbup:
Now tweaking will be easier:thumbup:

I'm uploading my ver. with nice-looking earth(nice white clouds(not gray!), darker earth and few tweaks)

Now work with 80mileshigh's one.

Awesome! This is enough to make me want to use D3D9 full time! Is the key command to turn the effect on and off (SHIFT+F12) editable? Since stuff is a bit hard to read in cockpit mode I want to change it to F1 that way it's deactivated when I enter cockpit mode (a filter, so to speak).

 

[luki1997a]

Is the key command to turn the effect on and off (SHIFT+F12) editable?

Yes. In enbseries.ini you can change:

[INPUT]
KeyUseEffect=123

to

[INPUT]
KeyUseEffect=70

EDIT:
80mileshigh, your ENB don't work for me. I get a GTA SA enb and after loading- CTD. Have you uploaded right files?

80mileshigh, your ENB don't work for me. I get a GTA SA enb and after loading- CTD. Have you uploaded right files?

I'm not sure what to suggest. The files are not zips, they have just had the .zip extension added to the filename so I could upload them individually.

Just rename the file to remove the .zip extension, and put the .ini in the root folder and the .dll in the modules / startup folder.

I just tried this with the attached files and it worked for me.

I'm 90% sure that you have uploaded wrong file.
Firstly: The Earth is fast-blinking and shining like on defalut ENB in 100x time warp
Secondly: I haven't got the short green text at left-upper corner like on your screenshots:hmm:

 

[luki1997a]

So... Ehmmm...
Work with ENBseries is suspended...
Or maybe somebody will do something? It doesn't matter...

Ok, let's make sure we're on the same page.

With Orbiter version 100830 and Jarmonik's RC22 (and nothing else), I installed the files in the .zip attached to this post.

This zip includes enbseries.ini and d3d9.dll. The ini goes in your root folder and the dll in Modules \ Startup. The zip should extract to these locations.

I have used these very same files and they are working for me. Let me know how you go.

 

[80mileshigh]

Can anyone confirm the files I attached in the above 'orbiter-ENB.zip' are working?

I'd like to share some improved ini settings but first I want to know that luki1997a's inital problem is either resolved or not being replicated by others.
