Conf.INI for (very) best graphics settings

[PolygonStipple] Good for performance, bad for quality. It uses checkerboard style patterns to imitate translucency. Look at smokes and shadows, difference is easily noticeable.

this game is from 2001 so polygon stipple is used with a VERY old vidcard only

THOR's posted settings are 100% correct, use those

I thought 2 was the highest you could go with AMD or is there a new development

I'm very interested in this (water settings) myself... I've set it to 4 and 3 and game reverted it to 1. Have ATi card.

Unless something has changed, i was pretty sure water =3 and 4 are nvidia only.......

4 is nv only.

2 and 3 are the same, not sure which one is for ATI though.

In IL-2 Versions 4.03(?) and earlier, setting water=3 was the ATI equivilent to water=4 for nVidia. From 4.04 and newer, water=3 & 4 appear to be only for nVidia and 1 & 2 for ATI. I have tested all water=1, 2, 3, 4, appearances with my ATI card and I see that 2 provides the best appearance.

I believe 2 is the best your going to get. I've never been able to get 3 or 4 using ATI

Hi,

is it true that typeclouds=1 doesn't work anymore? I saw a website saying it was removed after 4.09m.

Mouse6DOFMove=1 --> Is it still existing? I can't find it anywhere in my updated conf.ini Is it under game or somewhere else I need to add it?

Also, what's forest=3, landgeom=3, TexMipFilter=3, TexFlags.PolygonStipple=0 and TexFlags.DrawLandByTriangles=0


Also, always put conf.ini as read-only to not make the game revert it back.

EDIT:

Why perfect settings and some stuffs only work with Nvidia/AMD and not Intel HD?
For example, on my new laptop, I have a Nvidia GTX 960m working very well in Perfect settings with great antialiasing, but when I try with my Intel HD 530 I don't have Perfect settings and have some bugs/glitches with textures. Just want to say that Intel HD 530 has all OpenGL shaders and stuffs up to 4.4. Maybe it's in the game code itself? I was like, this Intel HD is capable of running IL2 in Perfect at 60fps since it's an old game, but yes I'm capable, but the texture bugs and no Perfect settings is very weird. Will stuck to the GTX 960m for this old game.

Hi!

Strange question mayby, I saw little higher settings few minutes ago, like:

MeshDetail=3 (in place of 2)
Sky=3 (in place of 2)
Effects=3 (in place of 2)
LandDetails=3 (in place of 2)

It is possible or just some unchecked info? I cannot check it now at work, just courious.

With Best Regards!
Happy New Year!
