Found it...here's the link for anyone else needing it. http://aviavirpil.ru/forum/showpost.php?p=6660&postcount=4 It would still be good to find a way to get the fps increase, as was said by the op, removing the reflections doesn't give back the fps. Some processing is going on somewhere.

Whining ?... What is it with you people ? If you can't help me, don't answer my request. I'm well aware of all the FPS tweaks, none of them include the reflections, which is why I asked here, so all your nerdy assumptions are wrong. You didn't help...you hindered.

I disagree with you , I think they are too small. What file do I need to alter to change the splash effect ?

Yes I know, but flying the A10 on a 20in monitor isn't realism. Thank you Mr Obvious...in the meantime I'll do what everyone else does and try and squeeze as much FPS out of my retro pc as is possible. Does anyone have a copy of that reflections mod ?....I search but cannot find. thx

That may be all technically and scientifically correct, but it looks crap in game. Maybe a few of the tracers do bounce of the water.....when fired from a BOAT at about 12 feet from the surface! Also in FC2 the water splashes are practically non-existent. It's an all round weak effect, they need more oomf! I've just switched from LOMAC to FC2 and there is a MASSIVE difference in the effects...very dissapointing. Cool music on the video tho' :D

Cool, it's been helpful, your 3GB switch solution has solved my C++ Runtime errors too. Thanks much.

Hi Cali, yup makes it loud and ruins the immersion. I've checked lockonfiles and can't find it.

Guys I need all the FPS I can get, did anyone find a way to remove reflections AND get a fps increases? I never use reflections anyway they make me feel claustrophobic. The link for the mod is down any chance of a mirror ? and does anyone know if jettisoning the canopy affects the flight model ? thx

Wow, this is much better...great work, thx. Can the explosions and smoke be improved ?

Hmmmm, I seem to have found my problem.... I've started to tweak my graphics again (heavy tweaking required for x850). Once again I lost the ground textures In options.lua when I change... ["haze"] = 1, to.... ["haze"] = 0, I lose the ground textures....is this right?

Well I haven't been there for a while, but yup I've tried 128 and 256. Ok, I've stripped all traces of FC2 from my PC & registry. Reinstalled ATI card drivers after a clean sweep with driver cleaner. Reinstalled DirectX. Defragged Hard Drive. Re-installed FC2 to C:\Games\FC2 Applied 1.2.1 update.... and........ :D I see ground textures. I'm not sure what it was, but all is well now. Thanks for the help guys...

I was wondering if this was still being developed / refined / improved ? or better still made into a Modman Mod for us non-nerdy pilots. :D I've just made the switch to FC2 and miss tearing up the ground with the GAU-8. You know these tracers bounce off the water too?...weird, it just doesn't feel right.

@Svend_Dellepude Yup , first thing I tried was Mipmap settings and and anisotropic, due to the nature of the texture problem. On, off, 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 16x. nothing has any effect.

Yup , AGP + 256 MB, and I'm forced to use legacy drivers. I'm tired of nerding around, I just want to fly the warthog :(

Thx Mustang but no change, graphics are still the same, maybe this card is simply not good enough for FC2.
