hi there,

make sure that you're running game in openGL mode ( not d3d ) ... IL2 setup

in game settings panel choose perfect setting ( graphic)

in conf.ini under open GL section change water to 2 ( worked for my old 7600GT )

Code:
[Render_OpenGL]
.
.
.
VideoSetupId=17
Water=2
Effects=0
ForceShaders1x=0

no anisotropic filtering and anti aliasing max 2X ( NV control panel )


regards

can u explain this. I read in the "official" forums that VideoSetup=17 is for ATI cards while VideoSetup=3 is for nVidia cards which is kinda different from what you imply and I infer! LOL!

i thought that the 17 for the all cards with good performance

what 17 means that it enables the best 'eyecandy' of the game when in fact if you play with the conf.ini. it will be better with playing with conf ini

in order to enable your game to OpenGL

Start the game, go to hardware setup, then video modes
