Question?

Would editing to get rid of jaggies be considered enhancements? Several of the shots I posted in Edited Screenshots had no other enhancement than that.

Yep, any modification other than cropping is considered an edit.

Posting shots that have jaggies isn't against the law. Everyone (mostly) posts shots that have some jaggies somewhere in the shot. At some angles and distances, jaggies are just unavoidable, unless you have a really bad ass rig.

 As long as you're happy with the results, that's what really matters.

Getting the most out of what you have is part of the challenge of MSFS screenshooting. :D ;)


If you put in your post, C & C welcome, or something similar, you'll probably hear about it though. We love to give advice here. ;D ;)

I just discovered the ATI driver I got a while back has Catalyst Control Center, which has some tweaks for AA, as well as other stuff. I just have to figure out how to adjust it. The jaggies are still there at times, but not as bad. I found out that it depends on the aircraft, angle and how close the aircraft is. I made a lot of test shots earlier and there is quite a difference between the best and worst.
For example, this shot has not been edited and is much cleaner and sharper than http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1237617155 which has been edited quite a bit. Comments welcome. And thanks for all the advice and suggestions.

It's a weekly competition where one Judge comes up with a screenshot theme, and then members submit a screenshot.
