New set of DLLs, from February 27th, 2008

[Eckhart]

Best dll so far!!!!! Thx to Oleg and his team (thank you CrazyIvan to keep us updated!!!)

I am driving a rig built around IL2:

Windows XP Pro SP2, Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850, Mobo: Asus Striker Extreme, 2x 1 GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400, Two BFG GeForce 8800 GT in SLI with Zerotherm HC92 Cu 8800 VGA Cooler, Sound Card: Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Champion, 4 Western Digital Caviar WD7500AAKS in RAID config, Watercooling Thermaltake Armor LCS case, SpotCool fan over Soundcard, SpotCooler over RAM.....

With this I run the following config WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM with the new dll!

[Render_OpenGL]
TexQual=3
TexMipFilter=3
TexCompress=0
TexFlags.UseDither=0
TexFlags.UseAlpha=0
TexFlags.UseIndex=0

Effects=2
ForceShaders1x=0
TypeClouds=1


PolygonOffsetFactor=-0.15
PolygonOffsetUnits=-3.0




Only little glitch I noted: the Corsairs don't seem to touch the deck on carrier take off...slightly floating

Any other glitches like coastline, flashing, black water, circles and so on are corrected.


The best proof: I get quite often shot down while admiring the landscape and not paying attention to the unfriendly flying up behind me...then I can admire my flaming plane going down with effects=2...beautiful LOL!

Please keep up the good work! We are all waiting for the new benchmark SOW coming out. This will be a new milestone. Keep on going even if the path is difficult. It will make a revolution out there. Remember times when IL2 was a benchmark for videoperformance?


Thank you guys!


Cheers,


Eckhart




Ah I forgot: FPS is between 40 (the most crowded scenery with huge numbers of planes) and over 100...average 70 FPS!
