Lightning effects

When pressing F1 to bring up the performance statistics, I noticed the following line:

1) Toggle use lightning: false

However, I haven't found an option to activate this. Nor do I find any sort of .ini file where this setting could be hidden. Is this normal?

Shadows, etc. are displayed fine, although I have to deactivate AA in my drivers profile in order for transparent sprites (smoke) to show up correctly and use application settings instead. That's an issue I had with a couple of games that seem to use a related engine (Theatre of War, Il2, CMSF).

I attached my dxdiag to help with this problem.

Nothing to worry about, that's a relic of a debug function that's no longer used. The only thing to pay attention to when F1 is pressed is the displayed FPS. We should have removed the rest, but missed it.

Thanks, that's what I figured. ;)
