December 9, 200916 yr Does anyone have the ATI Radeon 4800 card and if so what driver version are you using? On the MD-11 i have funny raggered lines through the panels using this card and driver 9.1.Just wondering if an updated driver has fixed this before i go to the effort of updating to find it hasnt yet been fixed.

December 9, 200916 yr No problems here with Vista64 and a 4870HD + latest drivers.AA at 2x, AAA off, AF 8x, AI standard, Mipmap at full quality
December 9, 200916 yr Author Thanks will give it a go then. I use XP hopefully wont make a difference.What setting is the AAA? Jeff Blyth MD11 J41 747 NGX . . awaiting 777 !!!
December 16, 200916 yr Commercial Member There's no fix for this - it's an issue with all 4 and 5 series cards. I've spoken to ATI directly about it and at this point I'd have to say they're unwilling to fix it, it's been over a year since I first reported the issue to them. It happens on any plane that uses GDI+ gauges in FSX btw, not just the MD-11. Does not happen in FS9. Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com
December 16, 200916 yr Hi, I have the R4870there is a fix for the problem which was posted in the swiss flightforum.ch Go and get the ATI Tray Tools ( http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=270486 ) and enable the "Alternate pixel centers" option through the advanced tab of the direct3d section of ATi Tray Tools. I have tested this with FSX and it worked. But since I don't use FSX this wasn't a problem for me ;-)Jan-Paul
December 16, 200916 yr This feature is disabled for Vista, and I assume for W7, due to corruption in older games (their words from the help file). Go figure. Dan Downs KCRP
December 16, 200916 yr Author Thanks heaps Jan-Paul will give it a go and report back.Ryan - have you tried this? Jeff Blyth MD11 J41 747 NGX . . awaiting 777 !!!
December 17, 200916 yr Commercial Member Read what Dan said above, that option is only available on Windows XP. Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com
December 17, 200916 yr Commercial Member Guys, I take that back! The latest beta version of ATT supports this and it does indeed appear to fix the issue!The only thing I noticed is that it blurs 2D text stuff like the menus, but the panel itself looks perfect!

December 17, 200916 yr Author Good to hear and thanks for the response.What driver version are you using? Im still on 9.1 am skeptical to update to latest. Jeff Blyth MD11 J41 747 NGX . . awaiting 777 !!!

December 17, 200916 yr Author Jan-Paul your an absolute legend... that fixed the problem.For 12 months since getting my new computer and the MD-11 i have put up with this blemish/jaggered line through part of the panel and FMC. I learned to put up with itbut it ruined this magnificent aircraft by PMDG.All fixed and i thought i would never have that clear cockpit that i see that everyone else had. Gone from jealous to absolutely over the moon.Thankyou for the great christmas present! And you have made my day. Jeff Blyth MD11 J41 747 NGX . . awaiting 777 !!!
December 17, 200916 yr 9.11 here. I always update to the latest.I just installed 9.11 from ATI/AMD but still have the diagonal shear... I assume then the beta Ryan is referring to is the next version after 9.11. Dan Downs KCRP
December 17, 200916 yr Commercial Member I just installed 9.11 from ATI/AMD but still have the diagonal shear... I assume then the beta Ryan is referring to is the next version after 9.11.Referring to the beta of ATI Tray Tools (ATT), which is a tweaking app for the ATI driver sort of like nHancer is for Nvidia cards.
