Just wondering if there is any news if SOW will have a conf.ini file?

Just wondering if I have missed any news about whether there is going to be a conf.ini file in SOW.

This has been brilliant through the years as it has enabled IL2 users to increase screen resolution and detail as PC's have become more powerful and able to handle the Graphics capabilities.

Has there been any news or info?

Cheers, MP

Normally you should be able to do all this in the options in the game.

Hopefully, but the conf.ini has offered much more flexibility than the in-game options in Il-2. Hopefully, as you suggest, this will be better-in game for SoW

.ini files are so 20:th century

There are good reasons to keep some settings accessible only through config files. Mainly:

- advanced detail or view distance settings which are too much for current hardware
- experimental/barely tested features like shaders which may cause compatibility problems

Many people with high-end hardware will complain when the game doesn't run perfectly with highest settings. And having too many options can confuse inexperienced users. So it's better to limit in-game settings to "sensible" values, but provide additional options to people who know what they're doing.

then you could devide the ingame menu into normal and advanced settings like in many games.
