    il-2 1946 graphics issues

    i just got il-2 1946 form steam last night patched it to 4.11 hotfix, noticed that the setup app just took me the game, so i manually changed the settings in the confiq file to try to make the graphics better. now i have black land besides the forests, is there a way to reset defaults or get the setup to work thanks

    Can you run SET UP from the IL2 folder? I just reinstalled IL2 back in December and had a blck sky issue too. I don't remember what I did.... probably" sumpthin" stupid, but I got it working by finding someone's working config file.

    Hope this helps.
