Radeon Tweaks for IL-2?

[:FI:ZekeMan]

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?

Hi, Zeke!

Well, I'm currently using a Radeon 6850. After several attempts to polish up my IL-2 GFX my latest settings are for OpenGL following settings (to be found in IL-2's conf.ini)...

Hope I could help ye a bit ...

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

Directly by using the Notepad.exe ...
