I was wondering, does anybody else who has the Steam version of the game have trouble running il2set.exe?
Here's my quandry: I'm trying to find that sweet spot between looks and performance, so I've been doing a lot of tweaking of settings lately, primarily in conf.ini. I have my copy of the game through Steam, and I am using DBW 1.6, started by IL-2 Selector 3.06 v1.5.2. When I go to into the game directory and try to run il2set.exe, it just launches the IL-2 selector. If I already have the selector running, it tells me that "steam was unable to launch the application". This has been an issue for a long time, come to think of it. Back when I was running UP2.01, when I would try and run il2set.exe it would just launch the game...
Any ideas? Do I even need to run il2set? My game looks/runs pretty good, though in comparing it to some vids on youtube, my colors don't seem to be as vibrant. The only place where I get fps issues is over cities or when there are A LOT of things happening at once.

Thanks for any help.
