New Graphics Card: Yay!

[Rattler]

I've finally joined the modern world and replaced my GeForce 5300 PCX with an ATI Radeon X1650Pro. I know it's not the greatest, but boy what a difference it makes for me! Now: how do I get the config file to allow me to try "Perfect" mode in landscape and water and trees, etc.?

KICK ASS!

The simplest way to set perfect is from the Main Screen>Hardware Setup>Video Options and its at the bottom of the list in a dropdown.

Once enabled you'll be able to choose from Water=0, Water=1 and Water=2.

Pete sir,

If I remember correctly, you have to have your video settings in 32 bit colour and enable stencil buffer otherwise perfect will be greyed out.

Thanks for the help, Dogz! I will apply these changes when I get home after school.

Hey Pete. Be sure to set your water to =0 to get the most fr's out of your card in Perfect Landscape. I would also advise to keep it light on your AA & AF settings too. Maybe set both of them to 4x. If your fr's are unacceptable there, go back and set the AA to 2x or Application Preference. The latter looks a bit shitty to me, but coming from the card you came from, it may very well look fantastic to you m8. HEHE One more thing, in your IL2 Setup under the Video tab, select the X800 settings. They should work fine.
