Extreme Sky Pixelation

[1Raptor007]

I just purchased IL2 and was so excited, but the graphics are so pixelated in the sky it is unplayable. I am running it on a 2023 laptop and the graphics are good enough for War Thunder, League of Legends and even Red Dead Redemption 2. Any ideas on how to stop the horrible pixelation. It is basically squares in the sky about 10 pixels high and wide mostly around the propeller.

 

Thank you

The typical reason for this that I've seen, is that the game uses the integrated graphics, rather than the video card. Go to Settings > System > Display > Graphics

 

Then select IL-2 from the list and click Options. There you should be able to select the GPU that the game uses. Make sure it is the high performance GPU.

It is a laptop with only one GPU. Thank you for your suggestions but it still shows grainy in the sky.

What are the specs of your laptop (CPU/GPU)?

Do you use the latest drivers for your GPU?

Are you sure? These days it's rare to see laptops without integrated GPUs - note that these are not always separately listed.
