Jagged edges

[hyperpep111]

Hello
I'm just wondering if there is away to get the "jagged edges" away. I've tried anti-aliasing, setting the screen to my native resolution and nothing works Any help?

[Boikat]

If you have a graphics card, see if it has a user option thingy on the computer control panel.  It may have it's own anti-aliasing settings feature.

[Jared]

as stated turn off anti-Ailising in the sim and turn it on in your graphics card settings if at all possible.

[hyperpep111]

Hello.
Thanks for all the quick replies
Where can I find the card settings?
I use a chipset 4 series and someone else who posted shots on another site had the exact same one but he never had any jagged edges 

[Capt.Propwash]

What are your computer specs? Mine are below in my signature box.

[Slotback]

I looked at one of your screenshots and it's obvious that anti-aliasing is not working. What graphics chip are you using? Who is it made by? To find out click start, run, type dxdiag, press enter, go to display tab, and tell us what it says there.

[hyperpep111]

OK here it is. I just copied the whole thing just in case you needed something else

Maybe your graphics card doesn't support anti-aliasing for FSX. I know the laptop I'm writing from doesn't. The anti-aliasing option on the graphics card controler is checked and so is the FSX one and nothing happens. I guess it has to do with the card not having support for OpenGL.
