Doc,

I'm using a 6970 with the Cat 11/3 drivers and I don't have the pixelated sky. I'm not sure what causes it in your case, but here is the contents of my conf file from "C:\Users\NJM\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\conf.ini". You could try temporarily renaming your conf.ini file to something else and putting the text below into a new conf.ini. If it fixes the sky, then you can try and work out which graphics setting causes it.

I share your exasperation that 1C don't seem to have bothered testing the game on AMD Radeon cards. I bought my 6970 specifically for this game, but I'm not sure now that it was the best choice. The graphics error that winds me up the most is the lack of horizon haze and that blue line/lines on the horizon. That was missing on my Nvidia GTX285. Mind you, by the time they have fixed some of the other more serious problems (broken CEM etc) then they may well have got the graphics problems sorted out.

Cheers,

Nick
