Some graphics problems please help!

Postby Layne. » Sat Mar 15, 2008 4:24 pm

Hey,
I have my settings at almost max but i am always seeing these 16-bit style things... like when my afterburner goes over water or sky it goes weird like a bunch of jaggy almost transparent orange thing, and my clouds can have 16-bit style textures for some reason...
I am using 32-Bit clouds from Flight Environment as well

Please Help!

Double check your settings in the sim. Go to Settings > Hardware and look at your screen resolution settings. There are two settings for each resolution setting - one in 16 bit and the other in 32 bit. Make sure your set to 1280x1024x32 for 32 bit.

I use 1280x1024 just as an example, pick whichever resolution works best for you and make sure you just select on that has x32 at the end.

There was one time, in a different sim, that I had ugly 16 bit graphics and I couldn't figure out for the life of me what was wrong...it ended up being that I had set my screen resolution in 16-bit mode by accident.



THANK YOU SOVIEN!!! YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER, HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD BUDDY THANKS :o
