NVIDIA Optimal settings for high end cards
 

I find this gives me better high quality view at max native resolution setting of 1920x1080

Then go to if you have NVIDIA set your Launcher profile like this

see attached pics, for setting this also helped my LOd's to be more sharp.

You should always use native res or higher (when fill rate is available). Never heard of guys playing on high end card with low res. How on earth did you come to the solution to play lower res? Never thought, that anyone has this idea. :(

yea some guys are doing it cause they want to see the dots from across the pond..
it makes the game look like crap.

When they really don't need to do this, then you have the arcade gamers in here with everything off, i.e buildings and trees, with the resolution at 1024x 768. not true flight simmers, there just in here to play air-quake, YOU KNOW WHO YOUR ARE!

They can just see better dots in special ranges/situations. That not always means, that they get an advantage. Running on native res should be able to provide you advantages in other situations. But you are right about situations, where they see a dot earlier.

Nevertheless: going under your native res of the monitor has always a huge impact on image quality, which cannot be solved.

Are you using SweetFx w/AA too?

I have everything maxed and the sim plays and looks incredible with just that. No further tweaks, native res.

Any screenshots of your perceived Lod? Specifics?

Heres some of my ext views and a cockpit

much better no SweetFX though, but will be trying it soon.

Where is Launcher?

Hi, I do not have Launcher in the drop down list of programmes for customizing the NVIDIA 3D settings. Any Idea why?
I cannot start CLOD because I'm getting Launcher Failure from the STEAM screen.

[QUOTE=Denlong;496376]you need to post system specs, in order to get any idea why you can't play CLOD..

to find your launcher for NVIDIA profile [*:\il2 Cliffs of Dover\SteamApps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover], is kind of tricky.
I have mine set up in a SSD but normally would be in your steam folder.
if you have a launcher profile all ready in the NVIDIA then it will more than likely use that setting. as all the guys know (its a feature) Bug. NVIDIA never made a launcher profile for it, as 1C never submitted their finished exe to NVIDIA, and more and more game companies are using launcher instead of taking the time to individualize there game exe.

Don't you want to set aa for "override" instead of "enhance"?
Since CoD has no aa to enhance?

yes if your using 1080P. which I'm using or testing right now.

makes everything way easier to see in 1080p HD at 1920x 1080
