Anti-aliasing problem

Postby jknight8907 » Tue Feb 22, 2005 7:37 pm

I finally figured out how to turn on anti-aliasing on my video card, so I set it to max and started FS. Big problem. Once I got to the 'Create a Flight' screen, I got something resembling this:

It looks like this whenever i open a dialog box such as Select a Plane, and, as is shown, when I click 'Fly Now'.

Any ideas? This makes it nearly impossible to select a plane and other options.  :(

thanks

Oh and I forgot to mention that the little sections that are 'cut off' from the rest of the window each have a duplicate of my cursor in them. Very irritating.

Try reinstalling your VGA drivers.

....and does it correct itself if you turn OFF the anti-aliasing?..commoner :)

Jknight, unless you have a machine with plenty of grunt, 8X AGP, and a good video card I wouldn't recommend setting antialiasing at more than 2X.

Last post was pertinent....does the problem disappear when you switch off antialiasing?

No games even use the bandwidth of AGP 8x yet, so don't worry about not having that.  Games have only just got past AGP 2x.
