Again.. DX11 feature levels are NOT recommended! I tried them.. My fps seems a little better, but I lost all the grass rendering at the airfield. I ultimately switched back to DX10 in that overall it just seemed to look better.. But that is a personal call
Keep in mind most vid cards today support DX9 feature levels, some support DX10, and a few support DX11. So it should go without saying, to use DX11 you video card has to support DX11
If you want to try different feature levels (DX9, DX10, DX11) here are the settings you can use
Code:
D3D11_0
D3D10_0
D3D10_1
D3D9_1
D3D9_2
D3D9_3
The file you will have to manually edit is your 'conf.ini' file, and you want to edit the one in your 'USERS' directory (read USER not the dir where the game is installed), i.e.
C:\Users\
<YOUR USER NAME HERE>\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover
Search for the section called '[window]' within that section you should see the following
Code:
[window]
Render=D3D10_0
There will be other stuff listed under that section, but you only want to edit the 'Render=' line. Note this also assumes your PC has a vid card that supports DX10.. I assume if your vid card only supports DX9 that line will read different (i.e. Render=D3D9_3)
So..
Say you want to 'try' DX 11.0 feature levels edit that line to read as follows
Code:
[window]
Render=D3D11_0
Say you want to 'try' DX 10.1 feature levels instead of the default DX 10.0edit that line to read as follows
Code:
[window]
Render=D3D10_1
Say you want to 'limit' your DX 10 or DX 11 video card to use DX 9.1 feature levels, than edit that line to read as follows
Code:
[window]
Render=D3D9_1
or DX 9.2
Code:
[window]
Render=D3D9_2
or DX 9.3
Code:
[window]
Render=D3D9_3
As always, I highly recommend you make a back up copy of the conf.ini file before you start editing it!
Enjoy and let us know if you get better or worse results!
PS one thing you will probally want to do is del all the files and folders in your 'cache' dir each time you change the feature levels
