specular=1
 

I set specular to 1 and it looks so much better, and then I fly, and it is "shiny" again. How do I set it so its always at specular=1?

This is how I want it:

S!

Make the change, save and then right click on conf.ini, make it Read Only. Should keep it.

But then you cant change the joystick settings anymore as the progi can not overwrite the conf permanently anymore.

right?

That's the downside, but make the stick profiles ready and just use them for example. I rarely tamper with my setups after getting them right.

Youre best off moving your whole IL2 install out of the program files directory and you won't have problems modifying the files again.
