Good day,
The monitor refresh rate can be accessed in my Windows OS by following these steps:
Control Panel > Personalization > Display Settings > Advanced Settings > Monitor > Screen refresh rate.
This should be set by an IL-2 user to 60 hz, however in some systems this is not adjustable. The 60 hz is all a person needs, so why a manufacturer would go higher is beyond me. The 60 hz is the AC electrical power cycle in the United States of America and other countries.
Also, in some countries this might be a bit lower to match the alternating current in their power utility grid. In this case, an IL-2 user should leave the monitor refresh rate matched to the AC electrical supply of the home country.
The Vertical Sync that I use is enforced by the nHancer program. Originally, I only switched this in the nVidia Control Panel. I do not know where it is found in the conf.ini, however, I do know that whatever you have in your graphics Control Panel will automatically over ride and reset your attempt to alter the conf.ini In other words, you must change the Vertical Sync either from the graphics Conrol Panel or the nHancer one.
Another option with the cities effecting the stuttering is to reduce your graphics quality settings. I know that you don't want to do that. Using Anisotropic Filtering instead of other methods of getting clarity at distances is the best option.
Different models of computers will need various settings, so you'll have to experiment with these issues. This is the main reason why I have been vague or generally speaking in my technical help topic. Being too specific in some areas would confuse those guys who would expect great results when actually the system they need requires another combination of settings, hence the need for each user to Benchmark his own IL-2. :wink:
