To adjust the AA directly in your video card do the following:

Right-click on an empty space anyways on you desktop > Got to "properties" > "settings" tab > "advanced" button. You should see the main control panel of your video card. I don't know how the tabs look like for Nvidia, but the ATI control panel has a tab titled "3D". Go to the "3D" tab > "custom" button > You should then see the "direct 3d" options menu. The options on the top half should be "anti-aliasing" and "anisotropic filtering". Uncheck the box titled "application prefered" for the "anti-aliasing" option and select the level of the AA. I set mines to 4x.

Click "apply" and click "ok" all the way out of the control panel. At this point, the AA is automatically on and you DON'T need to turn the AA on from within FS9. In fact, turn off the AA option in FS9 because that would slow FS down since the AA is already on.

That should do it.

He has nVidia, just look at that last picture.  Click on that nVidia tab (top right) and under 3D Graphics (maybe performance, I dont remember how nVidia does it) look for AntiAliasing

having followed the instructions as far as possible, this is where i have got to

sorry to keep pestering, but this has me completely stumped

See the tab with the nVidia logo?  Click on it.  Thats where the settings are

This is for the nVidea Control panel. To get the best effect, turn AA off completely in Flight Sim, and crank it up on the control panel. If you need anymore help, just drop me a pm
