These may work, or they may not... hell, they may screw your system over.  Have a look at least.  It's listed as an altered version of the 4.6 drivers.

Neowin.net - New Omega 4.6 Drivers

[Edit]I just read through some of the comments on these, and they all praise it quite highly.  Some talk like they're the greatest thing since sliced bread!  I'd say that its definitely worth a look, if you're using either WinXP or 2000[/Edit]

Later!

So what is the issue causing the shinemapping to disappear?  Has it been narrowed down and sorted out?  Perhaps a quick contact to ATI can help try to resolve the problem.

I've given ATI a holler over it. Don't let it keep YOU from doing it - I couldn't see anything on their site regarding shinemaps, and I got the impression this was the first time the replying human had ever heard of a problem with shinemaps. In any case, they didn't know if the issue will be fixed in 4.7. Poot. 4.4 makes really stupid things happen to the FS2-fonts (YES, I have the GeForce font-fix applied)... but shinemaps completely 0wN! :cool:

[Edit] Never mind the font-mess - 'twas the buggerin' multisampling that did it! Grr! Still, I have to confess, FS2_Open at 1024x768 without AA looks a fair bit better than LOMAC at the same setting. Yay you/us. ;)

The Omega drivers suck for some ppl, own for others.  Use at your own risk.

I'm now using Catalyst 4.7 Beta because it makes Forgotten Battles a billion times better than earlier releases and it does indeed break shinemapping on my Radeon 9700Pro.

We aren't going to be stuck at 4.4 forever.  So we or they need to find a solution.

So? As Icefire said, I'm not gonna stick with 4.4 just for SCP's pretty eyes, my PC has not been built as a FS2 SCP arcade station :doubt:

edit: btw, a question, I wanna check something I vaguely remembered, what's the complete flag for -spec? To set the intensity I mean... I kind of remember getting spec if I pumped it really high, so...

Re the 4.7 Cats and (still) lack of shinemapping... does anyone actually know why it doesn't work? I mean we can't ask ATI users to stick with older drivers for the entire time, just so they can use the SCP properly.

this might be related to the issue with the 8500-9200 series of radeons, as well..

I found that using OpenGL on my Radeon 8500 lets me see shinemaps under Catalyst 4.6; for once, ATI's lack of updates to the OpenGL driver may be a good thing!

Dont you mean pixel shaders? I thought vertex shaders are what you folks use now.

ps: Doesn't vertex shaders have something to do with animate modeling (morph targets)?

on my 9700, with OpenGL, I got universal shards of death :p

Omni: vertex shaders have nothing to do with animation ( tho some twisted mind could probably rig an animation sequence to variations of vertex shading :p )
