Hi All

I have recently bought an ATI HD 4850. Aside from this issue I am really happy with it.

Basically when I either shoot my guns, or turn on the nav lights the skin of the aircraft changes colour to have a pinkish hue to it... like this:

Here are the details of my conf.ini

TexFlags.UseAlpha=0
TexFlags.UseIndex=0

VideoSetupId=2
Water=1

I have tried several settings in the il2setup.exe for ATI cards - all the same except for 'radeon' which results in everything except the aircraft and buildings being completely black.... currently it is set to 'maximum settings'

any advice would be greatly appreciated, I imagine someone else must have had this problem at some point?
