Well its not really a problem, I just know my water can look nicer I guess. I've gone into the config.ini file and changed the water to 4, but now matter what number its on it always looks the same. Maybe I'm whining? Possibly, I just like my water to look watery I guess. In case you want to know I have a GeForce 8800GTS, so im sure its not my card.

Also I have a weird cut looking thing in the middle of the picture after changing the resolution to 1280x1024.

These are my current config settings:

IIRC, the lvl 4 water is broken. Just use the lvl 3 water.

Please tell me, once and for all, how to change this feature?

Play the game in OpenGL mode (change that from the video options), choose perfect land detail from the vid options, quit, go to your IL2 folder, open a file called conf.ini, scroll down till you see openGL settings, then make sure the 'UseHardWareShaders' is '1', then just change the Water=0 to Water=1 or 2 or 3 or 4.

Apart from the large drop in FPS, what the heck does the dlls do? I see no difference to what I had previously.

They're only a fix in case you have flickering water. :|\\
Did you back them up before you downloaded? I've managed to "misplace" my original dll's and would need the originals back.:oops:

Yeh, I packed them up. I'll send them to you when I get off from work. ~5:30PM GMT+2

By the way Dowly, how big was the loss in FPS you got?:hmm:

Didnt have FRAPS on at that time, but there certainly was an FPS drop as the game was far from the smoothness it had before I replaced the dlls.

THANKS!
One more thing, could you post your conf.ini and system specs? I'm having a severe fps problem, and would like to compare a bit.:damn:
