This is a good place to start:

Here's a quote:

Here is a list of the Bdg.txt big performance impacts. You may need to trade quality for performance:

ENABLE_AUTO_GEN=OFF
MULTI_SKIN_MODE=DISABLE
LANDSCAPE_TEXTURE_SIZE = 1024
Do_You_Want_Flak_And_AAA_Fire=OFF
Collision_Detection_And_Avoidance=OFF

Here is a list of the GUI big performance impacts. You may need to trade quality for performance:

horizon distance = medium (saves 15%) or low
weather = medium or low
particle density = Medium or low
Object Density = medium or low
Object Quality = medium or low
Water = medium or low


That post and the manual give more information about editing bdg.txt.
For problems around AA tracer animation, use particle density; for
problems with large numbers of LW aircraft, (the RAF have far fewer
texture variants) look at Multiskin. Every machine is a different
combination, so tuning is likewise unique to the machine. Play around
a bit, and check back if you need more results, and we can dig further.

You should be able to run BOBII on Highish setting but your 2.4 Hhz processor may be on the light side for full high settings.

You will need to tune your BOBII so that you get mid 30's FPS during the missions. It will take some time to try the different settings that PV provided in the performance link.

Hi there,

Are you running with the multiskin mod enabled? I don't think it has been mentioned yet but the latest version of multiskin can be a real resource hog because it included all the skins for the bombers and zerstorers and stukas.

If so, may not have to go all the way and disable multiskin, you can try an older version which just had the fighter skins. Google multiskin bobII. I found an older copy here:

Cheers,

That link to 2.08 multiskin no longer hosts the file.

I found it here: LINK
