Add extra layers of immersion to your sim (for free!)

Hello everyone! Take a look at these amazing free tools available for us. I bet some of you didn’t know you could do that in the sim (including me :smiley: ).

  1. reshade - free tool, allows you to adjust colour, brightness, vibrance, filters, etc. in real-time (aka post-processing)

  2. opentrack + smoothtrack (phone app, optional, payware) - head tracking apps

  3. VB-Cable + LightHost + any VST effect - takes audio from any running app, sends it to virtual host, adds effects and sends back to any output sound device you have. Also works very well with Jumpseat Radio!

Does Reshade work with VR?

First of all,reshade does not work with the store version.

Its worth knowing that reshade can have a relatively large performance hit, depending on how you’re using it. It can certainly look nice though and its fun mucking about with it.

Though not as extensive in their range Nvidia’s freestyle filters have less of a performance hit.

No.
