Anisotropic filtering

Yes, indeed.

Meanwhile, I tried to do the inverse of what previously suggested, removing IL-2 anisotropic filtering, setting "bilinear", since there's no "none" option. Of course, I removed related extensions as well.

Surprisingly, I got an awesome increase both in framerate and image quality. I was allowed to following improvements:

res. from 1152x864 to 1280x1024
AA from 4x to 16Q
AF from 4x to 16x
Forest from 1 to 3

only water=4 could hit framerate. Curiously, fps measurement in-game (shift+TAB - fps START SHOW) gives lower values while they actually are better (visual improvement is so evident that I can't believe to those numbers!). Also, some minor artifact I saw mainly on canopy frame in internal view disppeared.

I think instruction for current IL-2 should be updated: old Oleg's dicta seem no more suited.
