NOT!!

It looks like it's running on LOW setting.
Why is that?
What do I do wrong?

What exactly about the game looks bad? I can't tell from your screenies. One thing I can tell you is that your aspect ratio is wrong, it should be 5:4.

I have most settings set to Very High and the game looks fantastic. There were times when I first started playing where I actually bugged out because it looked..."real".

I set it to 5:4 and this is what it looks like

It doesn't use the AA or AF settings off my graphic-cards and they are at 4x.

Your aspect ratio is messed up.
also if u want a better looking game turn up your screen resolution

Well I set it on 1920x1200 with aspect ratio 4:3 normale. I have it zoomed in.
It is if the Anti-Aliasing and the Anisotropic Filtering isn't working!

So can you explain me what I have to change??
Because when I play CoD4 or 5 I got no problem at all.

Put Antialiasing to 8, it makes the game graphics better.
And put the aspect ratio compatible with your sreen, it looks like a bit small...
You can increase your resolution.
Put the Postprocess effects to "Very High".
If your CPU is nice (3Ghz minimum I think), this will looks like that:

On the screen with the grenade launcher you can see that AA is almost non existent, looks like it's at AA 2. Maybe your ATI settings in windows are overwriting those in ArmA.

Also, set Shadows on very high. Looks better and gives you more fps lol. Don't ask us why.

Leonski, what's your config?
