hey, how do you get the best detailed graphics of plane ground everything, i have tried setting it as high as i could, but i think i need to change some settings, cause the planes will have the little squares of textures, and the ground looks odd, like more cut up, not very detailed

Just max everything out.  It'll cause a huge performance decrease, but then just tweak here and there until you get the most detail with about 25 fps.

I run a P4 2.0Ghz with 1GB RAM, a 200GB hard drive and an FX5200 128mb video card...

guessing your talking 'bout the 'jaggies'.

Invoke Anti-aliasing (if your video adapter has it), best to set from your video cards settings not from FS2004 display settings.

But this also produces a significant frame-rate hit.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
