Jee Dee...

PS: This yak 3 is a crap.... without feedback i stall and spin as if i was a ballet star....With feedback i Stutter when adjusting shots...
PPS: Even the Autopilot chrashes trying to take off!!!!!

I'm confused. Do you mean 16 bit or 32 bit?

I've stayed in 16 bit, and it is one of the things that has made a big difference for me.

Also, be absolutely sure you have the latest drivers .... for everything.

Are you running XP? Are you using Force-Feedback?

The Detonator drivers were helpfull, the latest being 23.12.

I've used Enditall and Cacheman utilities to free up memory/resources.

I have an AMD 1.0, Asus MoBo, 256 Mb, GF2/GTS with 32 Mb. I'm running 1600x1200-16 bit with everything on medium but Texture Quality at 100%.In IL2setup, go with "no sound" just to be sure that isn't an issue. It seemed to be with those that have SBLive.

mmmm .... that's all I can think of for now. Tweaking, unfortunately, is a big part of this sim.

My brother could only go to 1280 max resolution, but when he tried my monitor he was able to go to 1600, so for him, it appears to be his monitor limitation.

I forgot to mention I used to have to set my antialiasing (in my card setting) to none. At 2x it was a big frame rate killer. After I installed Detonator 23.11 I upped it to 2x, but I may bring it back to none even after I installed 23.12.

Really the best thing to do is set everything to minimal then gradually bring the settings up until your performance becomes unsatisfactory. That way you may find the true capacity of your rig for IL2, or at least a hint as to where your bottleneck(s) are.

A pain in the butt I know but ...........

BTW I luv the Yak3. On my rig it is an almost viceless ac. Be sure to add a few notches of downtrim.

What is a little bizarre about reports of people having trouble with a particular ac, and others the exact opposite. Other than possibly flying style, I don't know why that is.
