[hello]

Unfortunately for me the above does not work for the visual mod on my computer. All other mods I can find on this site work fine, in allf of the different versions of the game. This makes this mod part of that 5%.

Ah well...

 I strongly suspect the Visualmod dioes not work because of the discrete graphics GPU switching.

[benitomuso]

Yes,
               I think that it should be the reason. The MOD is confirmed to work with nVIDIA and ATI cards.

  Regards,
                      Pablo

So you are on a mac or Ubuntu?  If it's a crossfire or multi GPU, you can dissable that. I don't believe IL-2 Supports Crossfire or SLI anyway.

[hello]

I am on windows 8. My notebook just has two GPUs onboard: one for longer battery life (Intel HD4000), one for power when needed (ATI Radeon HD 7670M).

Your ATI is good enough.
Are you using the atioglxx.dll from Catalyst 11.5 inside main folder of IL-2?

[hello]

No, at the moment I use 13.6 Beta Mobility. This gives me very good frame rates with very nice antialiasing: about 80fps average @1920x1080 on my HDMI screen; a bit more on the screen of the notebook at 1600x900

When you have 1 Gb or more of video ram, High resolutions settings don't cut into frame rates so much.

I'm going to get ModAct on another machine in the fall. It's a much better board than this one. Right now it's summer weather so when I do get on the computer and do IL-2 stuff, It's flying and not fiddling.

Radio control flying season here is short so I get out and do that when I have free time. On top of that, I'm getting back into working on my private pilot license. I just got the clearance after recovering from brain surgery.

[hello]

Good for you! Real flying is quite a different perk compared to IL-2, and definitely very rewarding. Yeah, here in Germany the weather has been really crappy for the longest time. Now it seems to turn, so I'll also intend to be outdoors more.

[santobr]

So, maybe you need atioglxx.dll from 11.5.
It's the way we play IL-2 with ATI cards, because ATI drivers don't follow the standard of OpenGL.
You can download it from here:
https://www.mediafire.com/download/73f7qxkkwmkvw0x/atioglxx.dll_11.5_W7.zip

Put the file inside the main folder of IL-2 and let's see what happens.

[hello]

OK, thanks, I'll give it a go.

Edit: crashes the game. Is this the 64bit version?

[santobr]

Yes.
Is your Win7 the 64bits version?


santobr.

[hello]

Uhh, my Win8 is the 64bits version.

Anyway, frame rate and quality wise, until now nothing beats the latest beta. At least on my system...
