I'm using a pair of 8800 GTS cards in SLI mode and have tried various drivers to fix this issue (currently running the new 174.74s). I run in 1920x1200 resolution, all graphics settings maxed out (except for LandGeom).

welcome fellow Cali resident!

I see try setting you graphics shadows to Medium or flat and see if it's that.

How do I do that?

launch the game go to hardware setup/ video options and place the light object shadows to medium and landscape shadows to medium.

...and Check that you've selected correct video (NVidia 8XXX) card in il2setup/pfsetup!

I found out the source of the problem in the screenshot I posted above: by dropping Landscape Detail down to Excellent from Perfect, the problem went away. So, somewhere there is a driver and/or DLL conflict.

In the Black Death Track I get 'dancing' reflections off water (clouds, trees, hills).
Same whether Water = 2 or 3
Water is very dark blue on many maps for =2 or =3. In the Black Death Track it is a Blue/Grey.
No noticeable change in frame rates.

My rig:
ASUS A8N32SLi
AMD 64 x 2 3800+
2 Gb Corsair XLPT3200 2-2-2-5 memory
2 x XFX7800GT in SLi mode
2 x 160Gb HDD in Raid config
Jeantech STORM 700W PSU
Win XP
DirectX9c
Samsung 226BW

Running 162.18 drivers. I tried later drivers a while ago but not so good for some reason.

Nvidia settings:
AF : x16
Gamma correction : On
AA : x8s

Well all the lines that have NV on them should be = 1, so something is indeed wrong.

In the setup you have to choose Geforce6xxx..9xxx/FX/4/3 so you did that right.

Does your conf.ini look like this under GLPROVIDER and GLPROVIDERS?

Code:

[GLPROVIDER]
GL=Opengl32.dll

[GLPROVIDERS]
Open GL=Opengl32.dll
DirectX=dx8wrap.dll

Also... is it "read only"?
