Jaggies

Postby a1 » Thu May 24, 2007 5:03 pm

On some of my screenshots I have jaggies on the plane textures and the wings. How do i get rid of them. I have my AA on 16x.

Thanks

Those jaggies are inherent in the textures themselves. If you notice, the outline of the model itself is smooth, but the lines on the paint are not. Try turning your Global Max Texture Size too maximum in the Hardware Settings if it isn't already so... that setting controls the texture size of everything other than the Terrain Textures. If that doesn't help, then I think the craft is just badly textured...

For the jaggies on the wing, try a higher resolution... but those aren't that bad, there'll always be an angle that your card can't anti-alias properly...

Very true. My computer doesn't give me jaggies very often, but sometimes when I try to get a shot of the wing on a commercial, or an up close shot of a Military jet, they're quite visible. It's not so much a computer problem as it is a texture problem

It seems like them thin white strips in the paint are causing it, I wouldn't worry about it too much, try getting a closer angle of the plane and see if that works, or what mousy said about the resolution... 8-)

And on another note what graphics card do you have? 16x AA sounds a little to much!... ;)

Is your AA in the sim or on the card? People say it's better on the card and  off in the sim.
16x isn't necessary, maybe 4 or 8 at most. Do you have trilinear filtering enabled? Anisotropic? Play with these settings. You need mip-mapping on 4 or so, not 8, with most cards. By the looks of the lighting on the front of the plane it's either the model/paint, or maybe you have an old/onboard card or other computer weaknesses. I'm no expert and it's all I  can think of, cheers

OK I did what you said and i concluded that it is the bad paint textures on the plane. What you told me also cured my low FPS problem. ;D ;D

Thanks everyone. ;D ;D
