Hi all,
Thanks in advance.
Being as brief as possible I am not at all happy with my graphics settings, things appear blocky, ie the sea, sunlight and evening / early morning missions look awful becuase of mad colours and reflections and I have the hardest time spotting bandits, frequently people I am flying with spot the bad guys long before me and have to point me in the right direction. Just after some help to clear things up.
I am running a Samsung SM913N monitor at 1280 x 1024 75Hz.
The graphics card is a GeForce 7800GTX 256mb using 81.98 drivers.
The rest of the PC is 2GB matched Corsair RAM and a AMD4800+ CPU.
I guess that is all you need on the hardware front?
Ok so heres an extraction of my conf.ini file from IL2.
BTW its only IL2 that I am not happy with, my other games all look very clear and sharp in great resolution and colour.
EXTRACT.
