Ok I made some progress,I got it to run using OpenGL, now another issue is giving me a problem. When I went into the config and set it so I could have perfect in the details such as Forest and Water from Forest1 to 2 and water 2 to 3 it is not letting me click on perfect withing the games settings of video options,it's not highlighted there and will not let me choose "Perfect",almost to where I want to be but not quiet.I only run one card the GeForce 7600,and I did add another stick of Ram,in my older Pacific Fighters loaded in Standalone everything worked perfect,beutiful trees and plants,and very realistic water,im sure there is a way somehow to fix the bug im having,any ideas are surley appreciated. Many thanx to all who contribute!! Max

Set "hardwareshaders=1" in Conf.ini before running the game again. This is prequisite for Perfect settings.

Also "Stencil Buffer" must be on.

Required before Perfect landscape is enabled:

Select you graphics card in il2setup (or as close to it as you can),

OpenGL,
32bit color mode
8-bit stencil buffer enabled.

Once you have those you should be able to select "Perfect" landscape detail.

Now you can run il2setup again, select"Custom" for your card and tweak low level things like MipMap detail, Filtering mode, Anti-Aliasing etc.

After that you can tweak conf.ini with settings for sky, forest, water,effects etc.

If you select values that your card can not support, the value will revert to the maximum it does support.

I suggest you also reduce the Sound Hardware setting on your Audigy (Mk1). Do that by running the DxDiag utility again - click on the Sound tab - use the mouse to pull the slider button back from Full to Standard.

That's not directly related to graphics but may reduce the amount of stutters that you see in game.

I use GeForce 7600 GS and OGL works perfectly fine. Noticed your DxDiag.txt has two entries for graphics cards. You have two cards on SLI or something?

It could be that I run dual Monitors,I have fixed the problem,and posted a new Thread about what it was,check it out and thanks so much for your input!
