If you are using an ati card you should be using directx and not opengl for your 3d rendering.

You should have posted this in Il-2 Sturmovik, not this subforum of it :D anyway gl hf in Sturmovik.

oops thought i was lol, cos i keep jumping between forums, thanks il give it a wirl:)

Why would you use Direct X instead of OpenGL with an ATI card?

I use OpenGL with ATI. For ATI I set anystring with suffix NV to 0.

ok ta , il change it

LOL, now thats a classic! Why would anyone ever think that?

Look it up. It's a well known issue with ATI cards. They don't run Opengl well. If it runs fine for you awesome. At any rate I assumed he was on here because he was having graphic issues and I listed the most common problem with ATI cards.

The following settings were posted by another member (sorry can't remember who for credit). It tallys with the recommended settings that I have seen for ATI cards but set the screen width/height to suit your monitor

rofl - Coastie, who wrote many guides to setting up IL-2 for graphics cards, has just been told by some non-entity to 'look it up'.

Son, shut the hell up if you don't know what you're talking about or who you're talking to.

Edit:: Oh, and, welcome to the forum. Careful, some of us bite.

More Edit:: I'm being a w****r. Sorry to K for being rude, but you are wrong with your advice.
