Graphics not very good

I do wonder if there is some sort of issue yet to sort out. May want to do that before hitting MOD land where things can be great or get a little too interesting very quickly. Not a slight against MOD packages but just thinking we may want to make sure its working correctly first.

Geckomeister, any chance you can take a few screen captures and post them to Photobucket, Flickr, or any other number of services so we can have a look?

I quite agree, best to make sure that the base install is working properly.
maxing out the Conf.ini will go a long way to solving most issues, but the fact is that if your just now coming into IL2 '46 your probably going to be underwhelmed by the looks! Its only 13 years old after all.
Id also like to see what you mean by blocky textures, as there are some driver issues that make trees and such look like big square blocks.
But even if it is working correctly, mods just add more icing to the cake. They really do add life to the old girl.

Lol, I think IL2 looks good. Changing the Conf.ini file did make it look a bit better for sure. Awesome game.

Well I didn't say it looks bad, just...dated...in stock form.
With exceptions of course.

How it appears has a lot to do with what you are used to and expect.

BTW, is it still 2012? I got my original IL-2 in late 2001 just after it came out. Did I fall asleep for a couple years and not notice?
