rofl - Coastie, who wrote many guides to setting up IL-2 for graphics cards, has just been told by some non-entity to 'look it up'.

Son, shut the hell up if you don't know what you're talking about or who you're talking to.

Edit:: Oh, and, welcome to the forum. Careful, some of us bite.

More Edit:: I'm being a w****r. Sorry to K for being rude, but you are wrong with your advice.

http://forums.amd.com/game/messagevi...hreadid=108194 and a hundred more just like it. I do know what I am talking about. It's an issue they've had for a long time. Sorry if my polite but contradictory to apparently and esteemed member was being taken as rude or something.

I haven't fully read your link, but I'm sure Flanker, and possibly myself, is in there. We had dreadful issues with the tenth series of drivers, which are now not affecting IL-2 since ATI made corrections.

Again, sorry for being so rude to you.

Edit:: Neither of us are. Nevertheless, I would strongly encourage any ATI/AMD users to whack all gfx settings up to the max under OpenGL - apart from the particular nvidia settings, of course. Assuming you have a reasonably modern gfx card.

Perhaps my information is out of date then. I knew it had been a cause of problems in the past. And just to be clear I am not a brand loyalist to either card manufacturer. Thank you for the apology Novotny.

I didn't think you were being rude so wouldn't worry too much. I installed an ATI card at around the same time as Catalyst 10.8 was released and I think many of the past issues (ATI with Il2) were resolved. Put it down to a simple case of misunderstanding.

EDIT: just noticed you last posts and all are happy bunnies..........

[Novotny]

Thank you See, but I was being a dick. As I explained to K privately, I had just come away from some very inflamatory arguments elsewhere on these here internets and took the attitude with me.

As someone who gets very angry about people being rude, I've clearly let myself down terribly. Oh well, I'm grateful the apology was accepted and I'll perhaps not completely finish this bottle of Scotch.

[SEE]

on a scale of 1 to 10 regards insults, character bashing, etc (that some of our forum threads diintegrate into), your reply rates a meagre 1.........finish that bottle of Scotch, I bloody would!

[BadAim]

In my experience those who admit to being w*****s rarely are, and those who mostly are rarely admit to anything, w*****s being what they are. Save some of the scotch for me.
