The best setting I ever tried!!!!

Thanks for them Mike!!!

All the best!

[pdittrich]

absolutely maxed out graphics

"beware", he means what he says.
i tried them, and for a second, i enjoyed wonderful pictures... then a black screen. i "thought" my rig was alright, but that was unhandelable for it.
i lol'd, tuned some stuff down, now it works - waaaay better than before, a big thanks to all who contributed to this thread.

Thanks Storebor, will try these out when I get home 

[Wildchild]

Only one question... Whats the fix for stuttering over cities?

[CWMV]

Don't fly over cities.
Buy better hardware.
Decrease graphics settings.

[jt189]

Now what if wildchild can not afford the high end hardware that most of us have some of the hardware cost up to 4 figures and beyond.

[CWMV]

Then turn the graphics settings down.
It may also help to run plutonium effects if he's not already. Way better performance over stock. Helped me.
Perhaps an expert like Storebror can recommend another solution.

Forgive my brevity, posting from phone.

Wildchild, don't try to run these maxed out ultra settings, it's Post no.999 for that topic.
please read through Hades recommended Thread for optimum Settings, not maxed out.

Depending on your hardware of course, if you stick with NVIDIA try NVIDIAINSPECTOR instead NHANCER (outdated!), lets you
set AFR3 too.
Once you understood and tried what he said it's easy to find a strutter-free solution.
I did too, only had maxed out, until I switched 1-2 things a bit down.
It's not a MOD thing, but a conf.ini tweaking, it took me 7 months to find my personal optimum settings there.
Those that have good gfx and less strutters. I can have strutters with or without Ceasium Mods if I try some settings.

Thanks, I'll try those tonight. I love the effects, but what I really notice is the changes in the ground, none in the plane or anything elts

(I do love the updated trees alot!!!!)

[SAS~Storebror]

what I really notice is the changes in the ground, none in the plane

Yes that's true, the conf.ini settings mostly apply to ground objects, apart from some obvious texture settings which would affect planes too. If you like to have sweet looking planes, try to fine-tune your graphics card settings either in Nvidia control panel, ATI catalyst control center or the like, e.g. raising the anti aliasing and anisotropic filter settings will increase the overall quality ingame alot. All of this requires enough GPU power of course.

The particular issue of stuttering over big cities in turn is a CPU load issue for sure (at least 99% sure).

Bottom line: You can't teach an old dog new tricks. If your CPU and/or GPU can't handle the game on max settings, you either have to reduce the settings or buy new hardware. There really ain't no way around that, trust me, I've tried it for years and ended up in doing a major hardware upgrade myself.

Best regards - Mike

Very simply you can save your CPU I have worst PC ever ,and stuttering was very bad on my PC

What you need to do:

1 Make another partition on you hard drive
2 Install another operating System on  partition with you create ( Use win XP. don't try vista, win 7! )
3 Remove all not needed services, and applications from your Win XP
4 Install drivers, and java
5 Install Il-2
6 Configure Nvidia profiler ( im sure very similar soft you will find for ATI ) , turn all settings off, keep anti-aliasing 2X -4X check how this affect your game.
7 Configure Swap file for win XP
8 Configure config.ini

After that,I save about 30% CPU power, you may say is not much, but it really help for stuttering and all problems . Use this operating System only for Il-2 for safety reasons
BTW you may buy Win XP cheap from eBay

Regards

Mixed two of the settings, now i got a big forest and nice city without stuttering
