Hello everyone, I just got IL-2 back today and I patched it to 4.09m ; I am now downloading the hsfx 4.0 and 4.1 mods but I have a little question because I don't remember, what should I do in my config file in the opengl section to get perfect mode with the best visuals?


Also, when I install the hsfx mods, do I have to change something in the conf.ini to get the game work, or i should leave it in perfect mode and from the launcher enable all the high quality mods and everything will be ok? Because I remember that in a effects mod, we had to put effects =1 instead of 2 to make the mod work. Thanks very much

Hi,

For OpenGL, you can go to:

water=4

or, if your rig can handle it...

water=5

( DirectX only does water=3 until DirectX 11 workaround is found. )

Make sure Hardware Setup in your IL-2 interface has the perfect settings in the sim.

Welcome

Aye, it is.

Fireskull: water=5! hock: Haven't heard of that one before. Any pictures? I mean, what's the difference between water=4 vs 5?

Water=5 doesn't exist.

Water=5 doesn't exist.

Unless your taking medication.

Obviously, we go by the information that we read here and elsewhere. Several guys have claimed water=5.

Frankly, I am skeptical, too, but enough guys posted about it for me to report it.

With water=4, a guy can see the reef mod, extra wave reflection, shallows, and-when your plane is flying over it-what seems to be wave action.

If a guy had a powerful enough computer, enough time, plenty of money, and was a genius coder, he certainly could make water=5, in my opinion. The things that seemed impossible a short time ago are reality now. :wink:

Unless your taking medication.

Yes. He should leave that medication.

[Fireskull]

Yes. He should leave that medication.

I forgive you, but.... :roll:

Yes. He should leave that medication.

Ill need to consult the doctor. Whatever it's for it seems to be doing the trick. There's flowers all over this forum, and nice smiling people around me You should try it

If I had an nvidia I'd try water=5. If anyone has an nvidia card, could you report if you can see any effects with water=5?

[Fireskull]

Thank you for your kind patience, civility, and leadership.

Yes, philip.ed, a fine example you are. This is why you are a leader, and some guys will only ever be followers. :wink:

You have class. 8)

Guys have mentioned water=5, but I have no proof that it is possible. Thank you for your mature conversation.

Man I've looked everywhere for some sort of hack to enable bloom/water 4/HDR in IL2 using ATI. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

The problem is that you cannot get HDR hack working in OpenGL mode (I think you already knew that). Only in DirectX. And, water=4 (or whatever other value) is impossible to get in DirectX.

In summary: You cannot get HDR in OpenGL, but you need to run game in this mode to get perfect water. You have to choose. My decission is clear: I prefer perfect mode without HDR than HDR in excellent mode.

Regards.
