Have shadows at low, and everything else at medium; and possibly software rendering

    on per above

    off.. was for old equipment

    variable Speed Autmtaquote>

    off.. if you turn off automata, there is certainly no need for this..

    CLoudsquote>

    off..makes clouds on the scene.. not needed

    Wavesquote>

    off.. make wavy lines at shores.. not needed

    If you decide you want to make a "pretty picture" you can always turn them on, take the pic's and then turn them back off (not just those listed but any setting).. and I keep the "redraw" to minimum or slow .. i forget 4.gif.. I don't care about them and they still draw plenty fast for me, but let me scroll much better even on large cities..and while I'm working on something they all redraw in plenty of time anyways.
