Microsoft FSX/Deluxe/Acceleration Filtering Setting

[Flying Trucker]

Good morning all...

I have changed these Filtering Settings in FSX during a simulated Test Flight and to be honest I do not see much of a difference...maybe it is just me...

With reference to Payware Screenshot Showcase>Flying Trucker>Test Flight

I am not happy with the looks of the two cockpit shots, especially the cockpit shot showing most of the Instruments.

Tried all the Filtering Settings in the FSX Settings and see little difference.

So...what Filtering Setting would be best for this system

Well, in theory, anisotropic would be the 'best'. So, if you can set it to that without and frame rate drop, stuttering, flicker or lag, that would see to be the way to go to get the smoothest textures.

That said, a lot would also depend upon what add-ons of any sort you are using. For example, regardless of filtering settings, detail settings, and so on, some add-on aircraft textures can only look as good as they were made (sometimes painfully obvious in the quality of cockpits). And, if you are using the default ground textures... well... we all know why add-on scenery exits, ha ha.

Honestly, if your system can run anisotropic filtering, between the three you will probably notice only a great difference in the textures of better quality add-ons.

This in my humble opinion formed from personal experience. So, take it with a grain or two of salt.

Nice setup, btw.

Much appreciated Xyn_Air...will give it a try...I have programmed in a 3:31 hour simulated cross country flight in Quebec Canada as recommended by another member here. Lots of time to check things out.

Yes I use Payware Aircraft, ORBX Scenery, REX and FSWC (Flight Simulator Water Configurator) during most of my simulated flights.
