Greetings, know this is only slightly off topic, but here goes:I just picked up one of the new PNY GeForce FX 5800 card (ow, my ears, this things fan sounds like an APU...) but if I have any anti-aliasing on, 1/2 the main cockpit window (the bottom where the guages are etc) is fuzzy, and then if I hit alt and go into the menus and back, or change views, it'll fuzz out and become illegible. Doesn't happen on any external view, but happens consistantly with any anti-aliasing on. Was there a fix for this (I recall having seen something like this mentioned here before), or was it a new version of the Detonator drivers?BTW, the new 43.30's are real bad, they lost half of the available resolutions (at least on my install), and the 43.00's are the newest driver that supports the FX cards (at least that I can find)...Thnks in advance,P

Hi PeterJust to be sure here. Are you using 32 bit color i.e. 1024x768x32? It is a know problem running 16 bit color depth with some panels.Hope it helps...

Greetings,Yea, I tried both 16 and 32, no difference.Thnks tho!P

Hey Peter, Can your new FX card double as a weekend leaf blower?Best Wishes, Randy J. Smith [h3]" A little learning is a dangerous thing"[/h3]AMD XP 2100 |MUNCHKIN 512 DDR RAM |ECS[/b ][i] K7S5A MB[/i] |GF3 64 MEG |WIN XP PRO |MITSUBISHI DIAMOND PLUS 91 19"

Well, I'm certainly thinking of wearing earmuffs while using it like I do for my leafblower :)They *REALLY* need to find a quieter fan. I mean, really, it sounds like an APU.. I know, I was at the airport yesterday ;)

Simple solution - return it and buy an ATI Radeon 9800 when they come out in the next few weeks.

Hi Peter,while I don't have that card (I'm happy with my Radeon 9700Pro), I had similar problems previously with different cards. It looks as if the card is seeing the panel as a 3D object, rather than a 2D plain. First, does it occur with other 2D panels ? (If my theory is correct, it should.) If so, does it happen in VC view as well ? (It should not.)If those things happen on your machine, does turning off anisotropic filtering improve things?Also, what's your OS and hardware configuration?Cheers,Gosta. http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg

Greetings,Yes, exactly right on the symptoms - only 2d panels (all), nothing on the VC's or exterior views. Anistropic setting makes no difference tho. It's only FSAA that exhibits the issue.The system is an AMD XP2200+, Soyo 333 Platinum, 1G RAM, and the FX 8600.I've tried all the FX supporting drivers and it's an issue that runs through all the drivers, so I guess it's back to exchange for an ATI 8700. (and yea, I would wait for the new ATI card, but the card before this one fried so it's not like I can just take it back as defective and wait).Anyway, thanks all.P

Do you have FSAA enabled through the FS settings menu or through Rivatuner?

Turn off Texture Sharpening. It's just another "idiot" switch that enables anisoptropic filtering behind the scenes.

Greetings,It wasn't on :) In my experiments I had tried all levels of filtering from 0 to 8 with and without the sharpening clickbox selected.Thanks for the tip tho,P

I tried both the clickbox in FS and the selector in display properties. I hadn't installed/tried Rivatuner.Thnks,P
