I was just wondering......Not familiar with graphic cards but I have a Asylum Geforce FX 5600 Ultra and was wanting to know if I will be able to get good water reflections along with good graphics and soo forth. I noticed alot of you guys have excellent graphics.

Yes you will be able to get the water effects no problems on that card.

Yes you will be able to turn on Anti Alias and Anistropic Filtering to get a nice looking Flight sim, but unfortunately with that card it will not handle it to well.  You will have to reduce a lot of the sliders to be able to run smoothly at bigger airports.  Its just a matter of playing with your settings until you are happy with what you have.

4x AA and 8xAF gives a very nice image but will hit FPS.  Ensure you enable this through your display properties and not through the game itself.

Could you name specific ones, I've tried many from Nvidia only to come up with the 'blue screen of death/doom'.  :'(

I've got the 61.77 ones. I just installed over the old ones, should I worry about that? Everything seems all right though  ???

Well if 'It aint broke dont fix it'   ;D

If its working for you leave it be.

In future though it is always a good idea to get rid of the old drivers first  ;D
