    I did some graphics changes using this tool: http://www.assembla.com/spaces/fxaa-pp-inject/documents. Thanks InTheFade for this find, its a great tool.

    Place all files from injection tool into Core and rfactor2 folder. Change settings with FXAA_tool in rfactor2 folder.
    If you like it here are my settings:
    I turned off hdr in game. In Injection tool:
    HDR: both sliders on 3
    Bloom: all sliders on 3
    ToneMap: Gamma on 8, Exposure 5, Saturation 3, Bleach 1, Fog 5 (only Gamma and Saturation makes something positive, rest i set just to do nothing)
    All other effects are off. You can try Sharpen, it looks cool in replays and screenshots but somehow looks strange and disturbing while playing so i turned it off. Haven't tried Technicolor but im guessing its something like sepia, so probably useless.
    I was doing it on replay so couldn't check fps but everything was smooth so im guessing its not big hit. It also works good for injecting FXAA (Antialiasing set to on with default settings)

    FWIW, I only need to place the d3d9.dll into rFactor2/Core, and the others into rFactor2.

    Looks interesting, how does it compare to GTA San Andreas HDR plugin? That plugin gives you a slot to another third-party d3d9.dll in order to run both togheter. I'm not sure if this one also do that.

    Dont know. Its much simpler in use than enbseries plugin i used for rf1. With FXAA injector you can alt+tab from game and change settings in real time so its fast and easy to see what your changes made to game appearance. It doesn't have as much features as enbseries though.
    Just checked fps hit and its about 5-10 fps. So after disabling HDR & AA in game, im around 10 fps on plus:) Until HDR in game gets better optimized i will stick to this FXAA injector.

    kosmo, edit your post also please. Sry for the polish digression ;]

    however it does not work for me, tried everything, the files seem to be ok, cause I can do the screenshot using the FXAA shortcut (Print Screen), but pressing the "Pause /Break" just does nothing, anyone ;( ? I am a dev, ... file/path issues should not be a problem ... cause I seem to have checked everything :/

    gniewko, try maybe with different game. i tried it with pCars and it worked. if it wont be working with other games then it might be your card. if it will work then its something with how you placed files in rfactor2 folder.
