Update 2.4
Update 2.3
Update 2.0 Beta
Features:
-Sun lit cockpit with shadows and indirect lighting
-Stronger atmospheric haze
-Stronger weather effect
-Volumetric fog (interact with light sources and create god rays)
-Better close range shadows and moving shadows for trees
-Better Ambient occlusion (less dithering)
-Variable night darkness based on biomes, cloud coverage and auroras
-Exposition based grain to simulate low light vision (optional)
-Dirt mask
-Motion blur, object & camera based (optional)
-New star texture
-New randomized night skybox including nebula
-New optimized, high resolution Aurora Shader
-Randomized Aurora Colors (30 color set)
-Binary Sun
-Increase variation of sun size
Tweaks:
Depending on your taste/PC you may want to tweek the following settings.
To modify the game config go to:
%localappdata%\MW5Mercs\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini
Remove the "@" in the commands Nexus is beign weird doesnt like some of the console commands for whatever reason
If you have performance issue you can revert the AO, shadows and reflection quality back to vanilla with :
Or you can probably just lower the PostProcessing/Shadow to high-medium setting in the menu.
SSR is very expensive and can safely be lowered without huge visual downgrade.
Shadow will need to be lowered to account for Vonbiomes high density biome.
To reduce the dithering (at the cost of shadow quality as seen in the screenshot):
Image is too noisy/ don't like film grain :
To disable the motion blur effect add :
To disable the near depth of field effect add :
To disable chromatic abberation :
If TAA is too blurry / ghosty you can switch to the newer version that is much sharper and less ghosting prone at the cost of some performance:
Install Instructions:
1. Download the file of your choice
2. Unzip the file and place the entire folder in the Mods directory (default is C:\Program Files\Epic Games\MW5Mercs\MW5Mercs\Mods)
3. Launch the game and click Mods in the main menu.
4. Check the mod to enable it and hit Apply.
Compatibility and conflicts:
-This mod isn't fully compatible with mod that change the cockpit blueprints. As of version 0.96 of cockpit glass there should no long be any conflict with this mod
-This mod isn't compatible with mod that touch the weather/lighting. Make sure it is loaded after (aka override) Vonbiome or both mods will break

r.AmbientOcclusionLevels@=1 (1 being equal to the low effects quality settings)
r.SSR.Quality=2
