Need some help with external textures please

Featured Replies

Hey everyone. I was hoping I could get some help with my NGX. The external textures seem to be a bit jagged around edges, almost as if Anti-aliasing isn't on. A forum search lead me to a post about using video card anti-aliasing and turning off FSX anti-aliasing, but this did not work for me, unless I didn't do it right. I am using a Nvidia 8800GT card if that helps in helping me. I know this is an issue on my end and not PMDG as I've seen videos and the textures look perfect. Hope someone could help me. Thanks. Sarah Guiney.

Have you ever had correct AA running?

Have a look at ryans nvidia configuration guide in the pmdg general forum. Keep in mind that it's geared more toward gtx400 series cards or better, so while you may have to dial back some of the suggested settings it should give a better overall understanding.

Hi Sarah ! I am also using an Nvidia 8800 GT card and I have antialiasing turned off in the FSX settings.I have made no adjustments to the Nvidia Control panel and my default FSX scenery is very good.No jaggies at all. PMDG also recommends turning off " Aircraft Casts Shadows On Itself " setting in FSX. Fred.
