Hi,

until now I did not observe any glitches in game #, but when I open the console there is constantly printed a GL error warning 0x0502 range.

il2 4.09b, ATI x1950xt 500 mb ram, cat 7.8


# except for the vertical smoke pile [?] shadow flashing over the water in fine weather and the flickering I get from the Me262 rocket racks when viewed from distance using antialising. But these have always been there since the release of 4.07.

regards

El_Marta

The whitecaps are active with water=3 and water=4.
But I must say I do not see any major quality difference between the previous and last DLL's. Maybe the global seawater rendering feels better.
The whitecaps effect is good in both cases and visual illusion from above is perfect.

The last DLL's have better smoothed the costline. I agree that the brownish effect is visually disturbing on the sea coastline. This effect should stay to show the beach gently dips in the sea, but the colour should be less brownish and also much less saturated or less strong on the coast line.
For rivers and swamps the colour is more acceptable but again less contrast is necessary.
To be perfect there should be no effect were the beach abruptly dips deeply in the sea.
I use mainly the Guadalcanal maps.

Graphics are Nvidia GF 8800 Ultra (from Asus) with the 169.25 Drivers.

Thanks Roy, I decided to try different nvidia driver settings before uninstalling and rolling back to an earlier version and when I switched off triple buffering the screen lockups and the black/blue flickering has gone.

Is it possible to slow down the speed of the waves as they break on the shoreline, at present it takes approximately 4 seconds for the breaking waves to appear then head to shore and then disappear. This doesn't look natural at this speed, is it possible to change this to around 20 seconds in the dll, or is this a driver related issue? If it can be slowed down somewhat it may even give a fps boost. This is only a small small matter I know but I thought it is worth mentioning.

I tried to find this out also with no avail.

Mustn't be do'able then, oh well that's disappointing, how long ago did you ask _79_cfb?

~!S!~ Alle,
EXTREME nooB here....
can I run these DLLs in 4.08m?
Please would someone explain to me what these DLLs are.

Tach!

Yes, you can run these dlls with 4.08, but of course you won't benefit much from them and you CAN experience some additional glitches. I use the new dlls for my 4.08 with quite good results, though.

I tried the new dll's with 408. Colors are ok, ran ok, but there were no coastline waves.
