what should I enable from nVidia control panel? Is there something wrong in my conf.ini;
Code:
[Render_OpenGL]
TexQual=3
TexMipFilter=2
TexCompress=0
TexFlags.UseDither=1
TexFlags.UseAlpha=1
TexFlags.UseIndex=0
TexFlags.PolygonStipple=1
TexFlags.UseClampedSprites=0
TexFlags.DrawLandByTriangles=1
TexFlags.UseVertexArrays=1
TexFlags.DisableAPIExtensions=0
TexFlags.ARBMultitextureExt=1
TexFlags.TexEnvCombineExt=1
TexFlags.SecondaryColorExt=1
TexFlags.VertexArrayExt=1
TexFlags.ClipHintExt=0
TexFlags.UsePaletteExt=0
TexFlags.TexAnisotropicExt=1
TexFlags.TexCompressARBExt=1

TexFlags.TexEnvCombine4NV=1
TexFlags.TexEnvCombineDot3=1
TexFlags.DepthClampNV=1
TexFlags.SeparateSpecular=1
TexFlags.TextureShaderNV=1

HardwareShaders=1

Shadows=1
Specular=1
SpecularLight=2
DiffuseLight=2
DynamicalLights=1
MeshDetail=2
VisibilityDistance=3

Sky=1
Forest=3
LandShading=3
LandDetails=2

LandGeom=3
TexLarge=1
TexLandQual=3
TexLandLarge=1

VideoSetupId=17
Water=4
Effects=2
ForceShaders1x=1

PolygonOffsetFactor=-0.15
PolygonOffsetUnits=-3.0
It should look like this

(my first screenshot to AAA)
But its all flat with perfect settings and hardware shaders.
Please help, my second thread about this....

TexFlags.UseIndex=0
TexFlags.PolygonStipple=1
TexFlags.UseClampedSprites=0
TexFlags.DrawLandByTriangles=1
TexFlags.UseVertexArrays=1

i do. I often change my water setting to 1 when i work in map mode, but its normally set on 4.
I'll post some screenies showing the difference, when i have some time - soon, i hope :wink:

would you mind posting one of what your water looks like at the moment?

nVidia Control Panel:
[Image: capture_03062009_101353.jpg]

Go to Manage 3D settings, choose IL2 application. (If it isn't in the list, you'll have to add it. Then you can try adjusting various settings until you get the best results for your rig. If you're not sure what something does, find out first or leave it alone.

Please help, my second thread about this....

Your settings are fine. If by 3d water you mean the wave tops (caps) then you need to change the weather in the game to something a little bit more severe. Your water looks great from what I can see.

Remember, this game is almost 15yrs old! They were just getting into the reflections on the water back then.

With your current settings, you should see reflections in the water, sun glare on the water, wave caps during weather conditions other than clear/sunny, and should see the waves lapping up on the beach.

Make sure you're using the new DLL's for Landgeom=3 as well.

maybe you accidentily activated DirectX instead of OpenGL in Game settings, as I know, 3d Water works only with OpenGL.
Good Luck

ForceShaders1x=1

this should be '0' and that will fix you problem



instead effects=2 use 1 because of its high fps impact

landgeom and forrest=3 are most recommended, dont change those if you got a fast pc

water=4 is slow too, 2 and 3 look nice too

be sure that you are running in 32 bits color, in your screen looks like it's in 16bits.
