I am new to this forum so I apologize if I can't find the answer to my video problem, however, let me give you a little background as to what I have purchased and the problem that I am encountering..I had a system built that has a 6600 Conroe core2 Duo processor, an Asus PB5-E motherboard, 2 gig of PC6400-800 ram with an ATI 1600/1650 graphics card with 512mb and a IBM/Hatachi 250gig HD...........I would appreciate it if somebody could send me their (3-D graphics card settings): i.e. (Antialiasing settings, anistrophic settings etc. etc).I am getting a lot wavy, jaggy ground terrain on buildings etc. and scenery that is further out that a 1000yds or so.. I don't know enough about the settings for this card and would appreciate any help to rid my terrain of these unwelcome features.My current fps in MSFS2004 are around 70, however, I haven't loaded the PMDG stuff yet cause I still have the 'terrain jaggies'..Anybody know what I should do??Regards,Sunbear

I think that thing is a typical Radeon thing in FS9. I have it too. Never found out if I can get rid of them, except with all settings on high, including Adaptive AA in HQ and resolution of FS9 1600x1200, only then I get really calm textures. Or lets say, I cant notice any shimmering. But performance drops much too low for my enjoyment...So, nothing you can do IMO.I think Nvidia doesn't have that effect, though performance with Nvidia is lower, especially with clouds.
