Hey Fireskull, is this nhancer software part of nVidia or some thing you d/l and setup yourself??

Well, how can I put this? I have to say that it is the best possible software compliment and partner to NVIDIA. I don't know if it works with other graphics cards. I went from only default settings at some points to 16 times that in those graphics characteristics. Truely-no lie-some scenes look like motion pictures or even real life. All that I have is an ordinary NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150m in my HP Notebook PC!

Did you see how NVIDIA has "point of use" information at each step of settings? The nHancer has even better info. Though NVIDIA does a fairly good job, nHancer is an add-on that is like the after-burners on a jet-it's that good. The download is free, though a donation would be nice. If you can handle NVIDIA, then you can use nHancer. I use NVIDIA for later stage Benchmarking and I use nHancer for all stages of Optimization. If you're a patient guy, then I think that you'll like it and achieve nice improvements in your IL-2 performance and looks. 8)

http://www.nHancer.com I have version 2.4.5.0... Since, your graphics card and mine are in the 7000s series, you'll likely need the 2.4.5 version. Once you get it started, set it to auto-update.

Also, see my Topic in this Forum, "Make Vista Run Well with IL-2". It's only gonna get better!
