I have always used

Water=0

That saves some performance,and I don't see much difference in quality!

Does anybody have what they consider to be the ideal conf.ini setup which offers a good compromise between game speed and graphic detail?

There isn't a definative version because it depends very much on your PCs performance.

Post your OGL settings here from your conf.ini file in the IL2 1946 directory please.

You could also post a Dxdiag that would be helpful.

I have posted my conf.ini file earlier in the thread, would you cast your eye over it and make any recommendations you feel appropriate?

Thanks!

If you stick with 'vanilla' IL2, you won't have too much of a problem.

The mods tend to go overboard, which is OK if you have a high-end system, but most people probably 'have your system', and can take strain. Anything above 25 FPS (Frames per second) should be playable.
