If stencil buffer and polygon stipple are both turned off, you'll get completely black shadows which isn't much of a drawback."


Does that describe the problem your having? I took the paragraph from the page below, and it helps explain the basic graphics settings...

Find out more about IL2 settings on this page of the "mission 4 today".

Correct, Proton. That is how you can change the settings without changing data in the ini-files.
