Post by PanzerMeyer »

Here are some screenshots I took recently in IL-2. Do we have any Val lovers here? :D

Never tried to fly one to date. Maybe one of these times. . . . . anyway, that water looks real nice! 8)

1280x1024 with 4x FSAA and 4x anisotrophic filtering. "Perfect" terrain and 32 bit color and all other texture and vehicle detail settings on "maximum".

And given that a lot of quality is 'lost' when posting, it probably looked quite remarkable on your set-up originally.

Here's some settings

Post by Hudson »

Run c:\Program Files\Ubi Soft\IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles\il2setup.exe

On the video tab choose Maximum Settings

Edit c:\Program Files\Ubi Soft\IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles\conf.ini

Down at the very bottom under the [Render_OpenGL]
Make sure the following (a lot are defaults; some are not):
HardwareShaders=1

Shadows=2
Specular=2
SpecularLight=2
DiffuseLight=2
DynamicalLights=1
MeshDetail=2
VisibilityDistance=3

Sky=2
Forest=3
LandShading=3
LandDetails=2

LandGeom=2
TexLarge=1
TexLandQual=3
TexLandLarge=1

VideoSetupId=2
Water=3
Effects=1
ForceShaders1x=0

PolygonOffsetFactor=-0.15
PolygonOffsetUnits=-3.0

Going up a ways to the [game] section.
3dgunners=1 (you'll have to create this one)
HighGore=1 (splattered pilots in a _few_ cockpits)

Ultimate graphics candy. Doesn't run all that smooth; definately usable; but responsiveness occasionally leaves something to be desired. Water 3 I guess is available only on some nVidia cards with SM3.0 so standy for that not to work perfectly... notice I have Water 3 set and my water still doesn't look as good as his. And my card supposedly supports it (6800 Go Ultra 256 MB):

Interesting. I'd like someone to show how to put this in. Should I just cut and paste? I've noticed that in areas of 'activity', such as airfields, I've been experiencing some stutter, as some of you already know. Is this likely to be of any help? Or are these just 'power' settings?

I guess...

I guess I have water=3 working
http://www.airwarfare.com/tech/graphicsil2.htm#006 the pics at the bottom show the differences. 3 looks like mine.

I think Panzer has water=magic. I'm not so sure why his looks so nice anymore.
