Classic British Flight Sim

This is something that has been bugging me for months. Quite often there are screenshots posted on the various forums here which show almost photographic qualities in their detail. I gaze on enviously. But looking at my own setup and especially the graphics card I am surprised that I can't achieve similar results. I've got the card setup for AA and all the other usual recommended settings and things look good but not anything like some of the screenshots I see. I even have to run DMs utility to change aircraft textures to DXT3 so that they don't appear grainy. Am I missing a trick here? How do you get higher quality graphics?

Andy,

Could you give us an exa,ple (i.e. Post a screenshot) os an aircraft that other folk here would have, at a given location with whatever addon scenery you have and then others can post their shots of the same aircraft / location for comparison?

Ben,

Oh f.. f.. flip!! I know what's wrong. It's me. I'm a pillock. I keep running FS9 in 1024*768 mode instead of 1280*1024. Just noticed the problem whilst tearing my hair out trying to figure it out. Fixed my startup script. Problem solved. Sorry!

I'll get me coat......

Its great that others have the same trouble as me
Andy I run FS9 at desktop resolutions and AA in the sim with a profile for nHancer. all works good

I used to run like that before I upgraded, Tony. Then I got clever Serves me right. Now, got to start thinking about upgrading my monitor so that I can access better resolutions.

Tut Tut Mr M....all that power wasted on FS9....its a crying shame....

Join us Duke...you know its goooooodddddddd.........

I found that AA in the card not the sim just never did it for me making things look a little blurred whatever card/drivers I used. But AA in the sim and the nHancer profile give me great visuals and due to nHancer I get great landscapes no or little blurries...
Move to the otherside... I did twice and both times it was like going to Wales, rained all the time in fact using FSX was as much fun as watching a 2hr Krankies Show RIP.
The only thing FSX did for me was make me use a VC a bit more which I now do in FS9. What it did convince me of was the poor value sim it really is and I mean that by pointing out that a lot and I mean a lot of add-ons are not free.....
FS9 Rocks and Rules

using FSX was as much fun as watching a 2hr Krankies Show RIP.

Yep.. and a 2hr Krankies show that seemed like it lasted for 4hrs

There is only one sim and it doesn't have an 'X' in the title

I've got my organic farm set up with set-aside and loads of great government subsidies. I just sit back and watch as the cash comes pouring in.

Wot.....no crop dusters

Must be a harrowing experience
