Matter of opinion. I love seeing the inside of the ship I'm piloting, I get Imp's HUD mod for X3: Terran Conflict so I can see the insides of the cockpit, it doesn't get in the way for me in any way. I actually don't like having just a blank view with the HUD indicators, I hate that.

it enhances nothing, and gets in the way of the gameplay FSO was designed for.

I have bolded the important part for you. If the HUD wasnt drawn over the cockpit like normal, i'd agree. but as it is, cockpits are useless if you ask me, and i vastly preferred cockpit-less models of all fighters.



Also, i meant to say the gameplay FS2 was designed for, not FSO, just not to get any confusions in

Well, the cockpit haters have hijacked another thread. Wasn't this about post-processing?

[torc]

we aren't cockpit haters, we want a real cockpit!!!!! 
back to the topic: i notice the motion blur effect seems applicated only to the stars...is that right or the effect is applied at the ships too?

[The E]

The "motion blur" effect (which really isn't motion blur) has been in the engine since retail, and only affects stars.

It's also horrible.

Sort of a "/blur on" and "/blur off" while everything not background stays crispy.

At Fury's request, one without post-processing.

Blue Planet - the vid without post processing

Blue Planet - the original vid with post processing

As colourful as a divebar jukebox.. or a rave party..  

NOTE: For those who think it's too dark, just don't use the additional command line Fury included seperate from the post processing data and it should show up lighter. It's also worth checking your monitor settings. Many monitors at factory values show too much contrast and may not have a proper brightness level.

Hey look, colors

Awesome

I definitely prefer it with postprocessing over without, but I think we can hopefully find a compromise setting that's less desaturated.

[NFSRacer]

I agree with Battuta, but I also like fuller colors.  I guess you can't have the best of two worlds, huh?

New experiment with a modified PP table.

I rather like this one.

I honestly can't see the difference...

[Liberator]

Definately better than the first one, but I'm inclined to reserve this kind of "noir" for flashbacks/foreshadowing than regular gameplay.  It's "unreal" qualities would serve very well as a narrative break to indicate that this is not part of the existing narrative.

[Deadly in a Shadow]

What a the differences in this video (despite the music). Like NFSRacer I didn't see any unusual.

The Orion isn't pitch black.

Did you even download the archive Fury provided in the first post? Or for that matter read the rest of this thread?
You CAN have a version with post processing and only very little color loss. Just use the data_subtle folder instead of data_verystrong.

Or if that's still too little color you can even open up the table file and edit the value to whatever you like, including 100% (which would be 1.0 in the file) and maybe even beyond, though since I havn't tried that I have no idea how that would look.... eyeglaring maybe....
But I couldn't really tell the difference between normal colors and the subtle saturaiton sets, unless I get two pictures side-by-side.

See http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=72883.msg1439827#msg1439827 for some screenshots with post-processing and color, even though the saturation value is lower (less color) than in the "stock" subtle folder of Furys archive.

For example, 500% saturation.

[SpardaSon21]

MY EYES!!!

[NFSRacer]

Oh.  I thought the effects levels were fixed?  Okay, then I guess I can have them both!

[-Norbert-]

500% looks about right for JAD
