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.
