Dear simmers,I'm using FS9 on a system with an ATI Radeon HD 4850 with ATI Tray Tools on Vista-64. When I turn on the Anti Aliasing, my 2D panels dissapear in FS9!I've tried al kinds of settings but nothing has worked.. Who can help me with this ennoying problem?Greets,Gijs

No body got a clue? Hate to whine, but this problem is really ennoying..

No, not a clue about the problem, but generally it is better to have anti-aliasing turned off in FS and let your graphics card do the work. You generally get a better frame-rate that way. It may be that both are fighting with each other on your system.John

could it have anything to do with the "panel as texture" option?

Both thanks for the reply! AA is turned of in FS9 and turned on in ATI Tray Tool (4x).. I will take a look at the panelastexture.

Zevious Zoquis thanks!! It worked, turning PanelAsTexture to 1 gets my panel back, thanks dude!

Pardon my ignorance but is the PanelAsTexture a FS9.cfg entry?I do not find it in my cfg file.

lol, now that you mention it, I can't quite remember. I'm sure it is a cfg entry, but I can't recall where it goes and its not in my current cfg either. I mentioned it from memory. I think it goes in the vidcard section along with the resolution you have set but I could be wrong...

Hello,Line(s) are (or added) in the FS9.CFGThis mine:

[DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 www.TweaksRUs.com XTreme-G.0]Mode=1280x1024x32TriLinear=1TextureAGP=0PanelAsTexture=0

PanelAsTexture=0 and no probs with panel(s) here :)RegardsGus.

That odd, I think it's my graphics card then which causes the trouble..

The ATI cards definitely have some anti-aliasing oddities. I've got a 4850, and when I turn on anti-aliasing, the menu screens in GPL don't display properly. It's a problem that doesn't occur with Nvidia gpus...certainly possible this is a similar circumstance. Luckily the panelastexture setting seems to resolve it. :)

I've done a little research courtesy Mr Google and found the following which may help explain things:From: http://www.flightsimworld.com/forums/index...showtopic=28865PanelAsTexture=0 <--------------------- Add this lineBy adding the PanelAsTexture line, your performance will even increase specialy with 2d panel 3rd party aircraft, it may cause 2-d panels to blank out if you've enabled AA inside FS2004, uncheck AA in fs2004, and enabling AA from your prefered tweaker or your driver display setting.and from: http://mycessnasim.blogspot.com/2007/03/vfr-config-file.htmlPanelAsTexture=0They added this in to increase FPS, but as a result you lose all access to any of your 2D panels.I have also found odd comments suggesting that the results do indeed vary according to the graphic card type. It doesn't mean there is anything actually wrong with Gijs' card. Maybe, retrospectively, the answer was to turn off internal anti-aliasing.Hope this helps,John
