    I keep forgetting every time I install IL2 how to get perfect settings.

    I remember a few but perfect is still grayed out.

    Would anyone be so kind to list the required settings in order to get perfect?

    You need to select OpenGL instead of DirectX in the set up menu.

    I know that's one of them. But there should be something else as it's still not available.

    enable stencil buffer by checking the box in setup.exe under the resolution menu. That should get you to perfect mode.

    three requirements are opengl, stencil buffer, and 32bit color.

    OpenGL, running in 1600x1200x32, and stencil buffer on. It still refuses to let met activate it though.
    Didn't the 'hardwareshaders' line in the ini have something to do with it? I tried putting it to 1 but it just pops back to 0 after I start the game.

    Little late but here's my setup.

    Core 2 Quad Q6600
    Nvidia 8600gts
    2gb Ram

    Also, could it be the 8 series that has issues with IL2?

    In conf.ini, set UseHardwareShaders=1 (OpenGL render section)

    I can change it to HardwareShaders=1 all I want, but after the game launches it automatically goes back to 0 again.

    An yes, I am changing it under the OpenGL tab.

    Should you be using a graphics card of the NVidia brand, make sure 'Extension Limit' is switched off in the NVidia Control Panel.
