Hopefully SOW favors nvidia...

Actually it was IL2 what got my into the computer building/modding hobby.
I'm already well in the 4 digit range for my IL2 stuff, but still have no rudders.

And yes, I dont have any other hobbies either.

Thanks guys, awsome job!
Never again.

You must be doing something wrong. Ati does listen and every driver batch since 10.3 has improved my OGL performance in IL-2. 10.8 was the last needed improvement to run PL in IL-2, installing 10.8 made me able to finally reinstate vertex arrays. On my system they do not FU the game at all. They give it better performance every time they release a new driver. So, you must be doing something awfully wrong, my friend.

Funny, I read of ppl having problems after installing the latest driver all the time.
Only downgrading or waiting for a newer driver fixes the prob.
Now, I don't care whether they are doing something wrong, fact is, this kind of trouble seems to be reserved for Radeon owners only.
(I think we even have some in this forum)

Concerning the 10.8: Wait for 10.9 to FU something else. lol

10.9 has been released

I just wish the people here would quit bashing the other brand of graphic-card then this they have installed.
Nobody gains anything from it, except some really meagre egos.
If all gets right SoW will run on both brands regarding to the power of the chip and not of the brand - name.
Atm afaik NV runs without problems but is more expensive for the same power
and Ati/AMD has had some driver glitches with some older games but is less expensive.

So?

Remember the block text thing?

started with V1.0
-resolved in V1.1
there again in V1.2
-resolved in V1.3
...


I'm not bashing Radeon because I have some emotional affection to NV(I still have two ATI in other systems and like them - there), but the sole fact those guys cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

For all I care this thread can die.

with 10.9 IL2 works OK, 5870 ATI RADEON

sure, and the next version potentially will f*** it up again. That's why I said they don't give a sh1t about us.
