Is radeon 4770 card friend of Il2?

I agree it's not a problem of Radeon cards being underpowered for the money.

I still get some 'colour flashing' from tracer fire and also problems with ground features on some of the later maps

That is what I am talking about. The colour flashing I could live with, though it certainly isn't correct, the lilac shadows on the undersides of the planes annoyed me, these are artefacts of defective code (not 1c company code). The DX version of IL*2 doesn't have that, but there are other issues (the disappearing plane labels (yeah, I know people here think using them is lame ) in DX mode make me think about going back to Open GL).

this is a driver issue, which I hope Oleg will try to fix, if he has the time?

I agree, it is a driver issue.

Ati write the Radeon drivers, not Oleg, there's not much Oleg can do about the Radeon drivers. I do hope that Ati can be persuded that it's worth sorting out, apparently there are very few recent Open GL games out there, and even fewer new ones are going to be made, so it doesn't seem to Ati to be a big deal.
