Radeon Tweaks for IL-2?

Post by :FI:ZekeMan » Mon Dec 05, 2011 2:56 pm

A question for the tech nerds of the squadron. I am looking to get some better looking graphics in Il-2 but only have the generic "Radeon" selection for vid card. I have a Radeon HD5500. What sort of custom tweaks can I select to dress the game up?

Thanks, Frank. Did you edit the .ini directly or did you do it in the graphics set up in game?
