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.

I can't run Water 4 in opengl because I have ATI.. I wish they just had a program that applied bloom over the top to whatever program you are running.

I have an ATI. From what I've heard, ATI water=2 is the same as nvidia water=4 but someone correct me if I'm wrong :-? Anyway, I use water=2 and do get the white-caps on the waves when the weather gets worse
