Right click on its Icon at bottom right of your desktop and set the following:-

AA..."Application" and Gamma Correction ticked
AF...16x
VSync...On
Perf...High Quality
Optim...Trilinear
Tick Start with Windows

These are my settings for FS9 but with your graphics card you may be able to be more aggressive with AA...Depends on the driver in use...Check that you still see the aircraft models in the window for selecting aircraft...If NOT then revert to the above setting.

Note...with these settings the AA box in FS9 itself (Options > Settings > Display > Hardware Tab) is ticked.

Thanks Peter

I have put those settings in and it has got rid of the flikering pixels in the tress etc :)

I did not have vertical Sync on or AA application controlled.

Garry,

Another thing that helps with flickering tree pixels is Views > Settings > UNTICK the "Gradual Transitions" box :)

Thanks Peter I'll look at that :)

The main issue now is moving edges on fences.

Maybe that above will do something

Thanks again

Peter

That last setting...unticking the gradual transition seems to have fixed the moving edge on fences etc.

All a lot easier on the eye now...thanks a lot :)

I'd also downloaded nHancer and couldn't get it to work - until Peter explained it.

Thanks for the explanation, it now works wonderfully. Cheers!

Peter I have a problem

In full screen mode it's great as I said above

In windowed mode there is no ant-aliasing at all :-(

Garry,
This is because in windowed mode it will use your default windows settings. The graphics card can't apply different harware settings (which is in effect what AA is) to different areas of the screen. Its either on or off.

Hope that makes sense
