IL-2 and OpenGL

[Flanker35M]

S!

Easy enough to check for the optimizations and what is enabled when you use either NV or AMD card: shift + tab to bring up the console when a track starts ora mission. When NV card is selected and properly detected(have tested this) you get more shader nad NV optimizations for use. With AMD card the list is shorter and it loads a generic 3D algorithm.

These days AMD can do all the same tricks in OGL than NV can. And there is not much AMD can do if the code is specifically tailored to suit NV. Or should they create a profile in drivers that cheats IL-2 to believe all cards are NV? I do not think they would do that.

I have ran nVidia and AMD with IL-2, there is a clear difference between them. For example now even IL-2 runs at solid 60fps with VSync on I get some stutters and slowdowns in certain conditions where NV did not have them. All because of a piece of code done for NV.

There has been discussions about this that if it would be possible to do anything. Sure yes, but not for free as TD or other enthusiasts do. So the ball is at TD now IF they at some time could even check this. IF not then must live with it
