[il2]
title=Il2-Sturmovik Forgotten Battles
hotkeys=HotKey game

[window]
width=1920
height=1200
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=0
Use3Renders=0

A simple and usefull step:

- Uninstall IL-2. Reinstall IL-2 in your primary HD root (usually C:\), or in ANY location other than "Program Files (x86)".

When you install IL-2 in the default folder, Vista/7 creates da copy of your conf.ini file in your user folder, and this creates a lot of trouble when you edit the file. You can avoid this with a custom directory install, simple step.

It's will save you a lot of time...

AND, of course you should make a copy of your working game folder on a safe place.
If you change anything in your game you have always a fallback.
Sometimes it is even wise to have two or three game folders for different installations.
