Hello, gentlemen..

I went through a reinstallation dance: I had 2 versions of HSFX4.11 (highly modded) on my E: drive, along with my Windows XP files (not too clever).
I saved the installs, uninstalled IL-2 1946 via DVD (literally uninstalling an empty folder).

Then I made a new install, patched to 4.08 and later to 4.09, each time restarting PC between install steps.
Finally I installed UP 2.1 and modded it with Histomod V.3..
THEN I took the UP 2.1 Histomod install, my 2nd HSFX4.11 install and placed them on my C: Drive, deleted all installs on my E: drive except the clean Il-2 1946 4.09 version as backup and my biggest IL-2 1946 HSFX4.11 version.
I renamed all folders so that only one active on my C: drive was named "Ubisoft"/IL-2 1946".

I defragged the whole HD and send a connective icon for my new UP 2.1 install to my desktop.
Sorry, I know this is a PITA of a screwed explanation of what I did. Basically, I backuped all my IL-2 folders and made a new UP 2.1 installation, then moved my current favourite installs to my C: drive, where no Windows files reside.

I didn't install DX9.0C again BTW..

My prob: Now I have-in all installs and independent of hardrives-a blurry anisotropic flickering or net texture blurr effect on my water, where the light/sun is displayed-this is new.
Also landscape such as the coastline in the default Pacific Islands map showed that effect. Seems also related to rendering distance. Config.ini setings all identical, no changes. Setup, mapping etc..=identical.
My GFX settings for my Ati HD5770 haven't changed, nor did my driver.

I recall this was a known issue with my earlier rig when uninstalling and reinstalling IL-2.
Any tips...please?

This shot cannot capture the effect well, it's best seen in motion:



Thank you.. ..I know I tend to have weird probs. :wink: :oops:
