I made a tool to configure the Graphic options: Il-2 Series External Graphics Configurator

Hello everyone!

A few weeks ago I started a project to have an external graphics options manager for the IL-2 series. Here is the result: https://forum.il2-series.com/topic/4859-il-2-series-external-graphics-configurator/

This program reads the startup file and lets you modify it before launching the game.

Additionally, it allows you to create up to 3 presets. This will come handy for VR users!

Wanna share your findings and help others to set up the game? you can also import/export your current settings to share with friends and community members! And then save them as a preset!

 

For now, it reads the "raw" options without translation. In the future, I'll add the same text used in-game, along with other features.

Fore example in Virtual Reality mode
0 : Off
1 : OpenVR
2 : Open XR

I take no responsibility for crashes or any issues! Only tweak what you know!

There are two types of json files here:

Presets are saved in the same location as this exectuable in a json format. You can see them if you open them with notepad or another text editor.

Imported / Exported files can be saved/loaded into any location. Again as json format. Share these ones!

 

Hope this helps with more "tuning" :)

Kudos,
