Maybe someone with more PC knowledge than me could chime in but the one variable I've noticed in all these XP threads here and else where is the GPU. Everyone that says they have a problem and can't run it in XP has a NV card, ATI owners seem to at least get it running. Anyone else notice this?

WinXP SP3 here.

The unpatched Russian Version worked best for me (except when going near bombers)
You need to look at the fps rate moving the screen to the left (I run it at 3072x76

Unfortunately after the patch both English and Russian versions cause me problems, I have to turn grass=off to make the game run and now I have graphics problems

I read else where if your using XP to turn off the grass.
I guess some guys are crashing at 95% even with it on.

Nice!

Set the game on low or very low! You should fix it but you'll get this graphic:

Acthung Spitfire! This game is a dream!



I have also many problems in thecockpit like clouds, tracers crossing it and some other problems.

I'm forcing myself to stay quite, but is very hard.

Running XP SP2 here and I don't seem to be getting any self shading/shadowing (whatever you call it), just the gradual dimming of parts which aren't exposed to the sun. There are screens a few posts up showing self shading on XP so I'm pretty confused as to why it doesn't work on my pc...
Any ideas anyone?

Yes, for WinXP users, with the patched version, if your game stops at 95% while loading a mission, you must turn Grass OFF

I have a strange problem with the patched version: I have to turn Grass OFF because I run WinXP. Since, the sea looks very strange:


The solution is there if you only change one setting:

Change Forest = NONE




I hope this helps some WinXP users like me....
I have this from somebody else who mentioned it in a thread, unfortunately did not keep his name (nor the thread)

Hi Folks

I had the green sea problem with XP

my fix - that I found all by myself !....

in the config.ini change


VisibilityDistance=3

into

VisibilityDistance=2


this should fix the 'green sea'


I've switched forest off and grass off and shadows off but have model detail high and the rest medium....over water FPS is good even with 6 Vs 6 dogfight.
Over land not as good, but have managed to fly the first 2 missions of RAF campaign.
