Hi baggo

Thanks for taking care, I checked afterwards the settings and they were ok.
I am now making a fresh start for the whole game. Let us see what happens?

Cheers

EXCELLENT WE HAVE YOU THEN!

Its CONF.ini

These settings must be at least 3:

[Render_OpenGL]
TexQual=3
TexMipFilter=3

Turn them down to to 2 or 1 and you lose the cockpits.

I have actually posted a couple of CONF.inis on the main download page.

One is graphics maxxed, the other is de-tuned quite a bit, but both have the minimum requirements for B.A.T.

Tell me its solved... 

Monty,

Checked my conf.ini last night, and I'm afraid that in my installation the settings in question - TexQual and TexMipFilter - were (and are) both =3. I will be trying one or both of the conf.ini assortments you've posted, to see if any of the changes makes any difference.

 


EDIT!!!!

And I sure hope I catch Barber in time -

Since I occasionally have fps problems with WAW, I tried the "de-tuned" conf.ini settings recommended by Monty. See the link posted above, in his most recent reply. The cockpits and interior views for the He 177s and all Do17/217 variants are now functional! 

Here are the OpenGL settings I'm currently using:
[Render_OpenGL]
TexQual=3
TexMipFilter=3
TexCompress=0
TexFlags.UseDither=0
TexFlags.UseAlpha=0
TexFlags.UseIndex=0
TexFlags.PolygonStipple=1
TexFlags.UseClampedSprites=1
TexFlags.DrawLandByTriangles=0
TexFlags.UseVertexArrays=1
TexFlags.DisableAPIExtensions=0
TexFlags.ARBMultitextureExt=1
TexFlags.TexEnvCombineExt=1
TexFlags.SecondaryColorExt=1
TexFlags.VertexArrayExt=1
TexFlags.ClipHintExt=0
TexFlags.UsePaletteExt=0
TexFlags.TexAnisotropicExt=1
TexFlags.TexCompressARBExt=1

TexFlags.TexEnvCombine4NV=1
TexFlags.TexEnvCombineDot3=1
TexFlags.DepthClampNV=1
TexFlags.SeparateSpecular=1
TexFlags.TextureShaderNV=1

HardwareShaders=1

Shadows=2
Specular=2
SpecularLight=2
DiffuseLight=2
DynamicalLights=1
MeshDetail=2
VisibilityDistance=3

Sky=2
Forest=2
LandShading=3
LandDetails=2

LandGeom=2
TexLarge=1
TexLandQual=3
TexLandLarge=1

VideoSetupId=17
Water=3
Effects=1
ForceShaders1x=0
PolygonOffsetFactor=-0.0625
PolygonOffsetUnits=-1.0

Haven't the faintest notion of which setting made the difference LOL. I will note, however, for what it's worth, that TexCompress was originally set at =2. The main thing is, those cockpits and interiors are now fully functional, and I hope I've caught Barber, or any one else thinking of a complete re-install, before they do anything drastic. Once again, many thanks to Barber, for pointing out the problem, and everyone who took the time to look into this and offer possible solutions!!

Hi EHood and Monty
The above picture tells us what is going on
I finally succeeded to get cockpits to the planes mentioned.
Thank you very much for the advice you gave me about the settings, I chanced them as
you EHood showed and the result is seen above. For the He-177 I had to reduce some
values but now it is also ok.It seems that B.A.T. is very accurate for conf.ini settings.
To EHood I must say that you must somehow be my soulmate because my initials in real
life are EH and I recognize your slogan in cockney dialect: it is grazy to pay off a cup with phoney money!!
Thank you so much. Problem solved!

Cheers
Barber
