I've got a nvidia 8600 gt card, I've tried to get Nhancer to work on my system but to no avail. Vista seems to stop it from doing its thing.
I mean even setting up the confini for you as well as graphics. A one stop setup with no fiddling necessary.

Nvidia has their own toolkit, which lets you overclock/manually control fan speed, and actually stores the settings in profiles, letting you set conditions like "when IL-2 starts, set mem clock to X, set GPU & Shader clock to Y, and run the fan at Z%. Getting the max settings for your particular card (and i have the same one) is trial & error, so something like EVGAPresission (google it) helps. It's the most user-friendly tweeking app, at least to me.
As far as writing a single set-up app for IL-2, how would it know just what's important to you - frame rates, level of detail, 'purty water, land detail, etc. Do you fly against a few planes, or tons of planes, ships, AA guns? In short, since there's no single "best" setting, using such an app would be just as complicated as tweaking individual settings (if you want a minimal number of settings, just use the Hardware Setup).
Besides, most people "tweak" things for fun - from overclocking 'puter boxen to building fast cars. There's a much easier way, if the process is not fun - spend a fraction of the time (i) spend on "tweaking" working a minimum-wage job, and buy faster gear.
