IL-2 and OpenGL

S!

Is this PE Explorer a free software? IF so, then worth taking a look Was there any structure in the dll that could tell anything how it works for various cards? The IL-2 programmer did help with AMD driver issue(blue hue and blocky text) by giving information what to look for in drivers. IF he could be contacted again he possibly could help? That would be great

It is easy to test the stutter issue for example with AMD over water. I set it to 2 and fly over water at around 100-500m. Take external view and look straight down above your plane and you see a slight stutter even FPS is a solid 60fps with VSync. Now move the camera to a lesser angle, say 80-45deg and the stutter is gone. Strange ain't it? Above ground this does not happen.

It will show the structure of the file and some other things too

Well I did look at it briefly to see what was causing the "Nvidia Ring" after asking for a fix since the 8800 series cards but was told the programmers no longer available.

S!

NV got the ring on water yet AMD does not have it at all. Kind of odd. This was the first thing I noticed with the 6970HD compared to my previous card 580GTX. Really, both NV and AMD offer damned good performance in any game you throw at them. IL-2 is the only one I've seen a difference with AMD.

Hmm..gotta ask around a bit

S!

After rigorous testing the biggest hit on FPS is when using LandShading=3. If using 2 then FPS is same as when using NV card, within only a few FPS. So maybe TD could look into this item?
