If you can beleive the sticky post at the top of this forum it does. I use Nhancer and to be honest with you I truthly do not know if it is making that much of a differance I used the Nvida control pannel for years I have A GeForce 7600 OC 512 ram I got 30 to 40 FPS with every thing maxed out and using Enhancer I still get the same thing but there could be a difference as to how quick the scenery loads as you fly.
Bottom line is  :-? I am still testing I might go back to using the nvida control pannel. 8-)

As far as I know, nHancer does two things.
The first is make available several settings which aren't available in the nVidia Control Panel (like different levels and combinations of anti-aliasing).
The second is to manage profiles (sets of settings which can be loaded manually or automatically when a certain game is booted). This is expecially useful because those profiles cannot be disabled with the Control Panel and, according to several accounts, they cannot be effectively tweaked (the default values stick). With nHancer you can disable the default profiles and create new and fully customizable profiles.
nHancer runs as a service every time Windows boots so take into account that it will consume (a little bit of) system resources.

with my 8800gt without nhancer I can play fs9 well i can but it looks like fs98.lol No AA at all.

That's probably because you have disabled in-game AA and the default nVidia profile for FS does not force AA at driver level. As you pointed out, the solution is to use nHancer to disable the default FS profile, create a custom one and tweak it.

Yes, follow my directions carefully in setup... if the is FSX, its a must

Its not as much about frames as about smooth flight and much better looking graphics
