Open GL

[_79_dev]

Ok got this idea to change conf.ini file to use OpenGl libraries...just in documents folder 1CSoftClub
...
StencilBits=8
DrawIfNotFocused=0
SaveAspect=0
Render=Opengl32.dll
width=1400
height=1050
....

Just try and tel me can You see the diffrience?
And dont forget to turn on Anti Aliasing To the max You can

trying now

didnt work blacked out user optons and IL2 Cliffs stoped responding

I tried it and it looked worse. AA did not work either. I also tried changing MSAA=0 in the config and that was a fail too. AA and AF are just porked n this sim.

The old IL-2 was made and optimized for OpenGL, Cliffs of Dover was made and (slightly) optimized for DirectX.

Besides, DirectX is the better one of the two.

well i beg to differ there on that, opengl has better depth in 3d than does Direct X

What?

OpenGL is just an API, just like DirectX. All it does is allows a developer to write graphics code for one library, instead of tons for each graphics card. IT, in no way, affects the "depth" of an image.

Also I tried this out and it works. However, no AA and quite a bit of corrupt graphics, but ATIs always had **** for opengl drivers. The mirror in the spit seems to work perfectly though.

+1.

Crazy graphics engine. As we say in Brazil:

- Feita nas coxas!

30% of FPS hit on my system. AA works at some extend, no more jaggies at close distance except for wires. I tried on the Spitfire default track (not in a real mission) and the Spit mirror doesn't work on the track. The ATI horizon bug seem to not occur using OpenGL.
