Hi guys,Looking for some help here. I'm pretty savvy with getting FS9 to look good but I am a complete loss on what to do right now. Just upgraded my old 9600GT to a 450GTS. Resolution is set at 1280x1024 and I have installed the newest Nvidia drivers along with inspector and have set it up per NickN's guide. AA is on but i'm getting really bad shimmering along buildings (particulary autogen), runway markings, and AI aircraft. I never had this issue with my previous card and not sure how to proceed. I've tried every AA mode inspector has with no luck. AF is set to 16x with all optimizations off. Full specs are:E7500 ocd' to 3.75ghz2gb DDR3 1333 RAM450GTS 1gb DDR5Antec 550 PSAny help you guys can give me is greatly appreciated!Mike

Try AA off in FS9 and AF TrilinearAlso read here:http://forum.avsim.net/topic/330809-can-anybody-shed-some-light/

Bert thank you. I'll try it out and report back!

Well i've tried the settings Bert provided and although it was better the visuals still are aliased pretty badly. I didn't realize that with the new drivers that you have to exit FS9 and restart it to get the settings to take effect. The settings that I found worked out the best were 8xS with 4x sparse grid supersampling, 16x AF. It provide very nice visuals with a minimum of jaggies but with a pretty nasty performance hit with heavier weather. I tried it out at FSDT Ohare with ASE running yesterday evening and was drawing around 15fps at dusk with 75% AI. Wasn't bad but mind it was in the default Cessna 172 VC mode. I didn't get a chance to try my standby PIC 737. It seems like these drivers from Nvidia are providing the same AA I had with my old 9600gt at a higher performance cost which seems backward to me. I could be wrong but I figured with a newer card I would be able to get a little better visual with my sim staying smooth. Anyone else seeing this at all? So my next question would anyone like to give me some more ideas on some other modes in Inspector that I may not have tried yet that could yield better performance results? Thanks again!Mike

some in depth discussions on inspector settings here; These are for FSX though, not sure how they would apply to FS9. Interesting read.http://www.simforums.com/forums/nvidia-inspector-settings-question_topic38651.htmlPersonally, I always backup/delete and let fs rebuild the .cfg file whenever changing hardware. as Bert say's above, check other post for his .cfg settings. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/330809-can-anybody-shed-some-light/Ron.

8XS and 8XSQ are the best visuals vs performance trade-off,but if you want to really load up your card, try this:http://forum.avsim.net/topic/330328-an-aa-mode-thats-worth-a-try/Also, the new nvidia beta 270 drivers are really good (find them on the nvidia site)
