New DirectX 9-10

[KG26_Alpha]

Well im wondering how there are those that claim its smoother ? , as IL2 runs under OpenGL, unless you are running IL2 under DX the only difference would be the sound surely ?

Gleaned from somewhere on the het ages ago re: Open GL under Windowz

"OpenGL for games in Windows XP

For OpenGL hardware accelerated games to work correctly your video cards driver must include OpenGL support in addition to having a video card that supports OpenGL instructions. The great majority of cards support OpenGL, some integrated video chipsets and older video cards (made before 199 may not or do but at very slow speeds.

The video drivers on the Windows XP CD-ROM (That are installed by default) do not support any form of hardware accelerated OpenGL, so even if your card does, games will fail to run until you install an updated driver from your video cards manufacturer. What would happen in this case would be the game might spot the software mode OpenGL renderer that ships as part of Windows (for certain Screensavers, not suitable to run hardware accelerated OpenGL) and attempt to use it which would bring up the opengl sub system load failures type errors which often appear on the Windows XP Games."

So surely the video card manufacturer supply the Open GL driver for your video card.

Perhaps its a sound thing making it seem smoother ?
