So your shot for us to see, Bert, or will Nick come to your aid?

Steve,

 

I was under the impression that most people have AA switched "OFF" in FSX. Is that not the case?

How the heck do I know?

 

Funny, even in the document Nick states only the Transparency settings slow the card.

Yeah, since it's the only stuff that does anything - lol. Even the filtering has no effect.

 

 

I selected a random shot, made into a .png. stock CRJ, 1920x1200, FSX AA=on, TS=4x Sparse Grid Supersampling, FTXG+V+oLC

 

Is that anti-aliasing supposed to be good? I can definitely tell you that with just the in-game AA, the edges looked much better with my AMD GPU than this shot.

better than your AMD  ! lol

 

so what's wrong with proof or disproof of the AA emperors new clothes?

another shot at 8x but not sparse grid

Nick does mention in that document that it's the responsibility of the addon aircraft makers to get it right so that sparse grid is unnecessary. So he was on the right track.

better than your AMD  ! lol

Not sure I'm getting your post. Anti-aliasing with my AMD GPU looked better than both the screenshots you posted. This is strictly about polygon edges though, I didn't try SGSSAA with it.

Steve this is not funny anymore... over and out.

I tell you how stuff works. Turns out for ages you've been making settings that don't work, and now somehow it's my fault.

Sorry to disagree..  AA works just fine with the above settings (on my system).

Guess what Burt... same as the other lads for me.

 

AA off in the sim results in zero AA. AA on in the sim results in NI AA being applied.

 

Always been that way for me. No idea why some are different.

...Anti-aliasing with my AMD GPU looked better than both the screenshots you posted...

 

Until you posted a better shot, my card's better than your card. lol

Maybe Acceleration is different than SP2 - what do I know..

 

Bottom line: if AA on in FSX is what works for you, leave it on.

 

No need to start blaming people  ^_^

Actually Steve that's not fair. I've come across this before.

 

For some AA needs to be on in the sim for AA to be applied courtesy of NI. However, I'e come across many who find it works fine with it off in the sim.

 

Burt is experienced at this game, he knows when he sees AA and when he doesn't.

 

Why on is required for some and not others I have no idea.

Until you posted a better shot, my card's better than your card. lol

 

Sorry, I'm not reseating my AMD GPU again to take a screenshot. Believe it or not, with my AMD GPU I got better anti-aliasing than those two shots you posted, and better than anything NVIDIA Inspector has.

 

I think that AMD just has better anti-aliasing than NVIDIA in general, and not many have realised it because NVIDIA is supposedely the the better choice for FSX.

Actually Steve that's not fair.

 

Really? Bert turned up, paid no attention to the information I provided, made no attempt to try it, or understand it, and dismissed it as if it made no sense. Then carried on about his document that mostly does not work because of a fundamental lack of understanding of the basics of FSX - and which can be tested in moments. There's only a post process that can work on an unfinished FSX screen, but it does not cover up the problems I was trying to discuss. If he's gone away all upset, well Boo-Hoo.

Yes but if you remember you wanted to know about NI setup and I gave you the hot poop, why not show some gratitude? Until you and Bert can post shots of the wonderful AA and texture filtering you go on and on about, I'm not interested.
