If you change conf.ini while the game is running, it's reset to what it was before when you close the game. Either that or if you set for example Water=4 on an ATi card, it will be reset to 1 when the game starts.

Right, if you work with the conf.ini - never touch ingame video options or the setup again, as this would reset the changes.

Make sure Windows is also running in 32bit color. I'm not sure if that is even an option anymore...but IL-2 and Windows desktop like to be the same color bit depth in some driver/card situations.

You can set conf.ini to Read Only to avoid this problem. Just don't forget that you did it!

After some time ignoring IL2,I decided to try again to make it run in 32 colors without bugging out.
And after some "hack" (for a computer noob like me,its almost a hack) I finally tamed it.
On the program compatibility options,I checked the Disable desktop composition and,OMG,it works!

Now,I´m still trying to define the graphics at maximum settings.

Sorry for digging in the thread,but,my game doesn´t look like IceFire SSs at all.

I thought that was achievable only with ---s (that banned word)...
Now I have 32 bits colors enabled,still,trying to make the game to look SoW like of IceFire screenshots.
