DX9 is better at AA than DX10 every day, but slower for a given IQ.

But is the image quality better?

Sorry I've not had a chance to get on since earlier in the week.. Having conducted brief tests earlier in the week... Yes image quality has improved, loading time has improved, autogen popping has improved, general sim smoothness has improved. Absolutely over the moon with the response and help from the community. When I'm back home tonight I will post my cfg for all to see, hopefully it may help others

But Mark, what about the primary reason for your original post: scenery blurries?

Hi fppilot, as included in my post above

It was a learning curve for all of us at one point or another.  Glad that you're all fixed up.  Someday you'll help someone else out by referencing this post or the knowledge that you gained through this exercise.  Now go fly and enjoy your "new" sim.   :smile:

Now let's all stop tweaking and go flying!  LOL

 

Ah so this is what FSX is, a flying thing, and here's me thinking it was a tweaking thing, happy flying guys.

Absolutely, that's what this tight-nick community is and should be all about IMO.

Phone videos again, but you should all get the general idea.. 

 

Fellow simmers, I am one happy bunny - Again thank you all for your input and assistance

 

The flight from Bristol EGGD - Schiphol EHAM was a massive success all round.. Minimal very distant blurries and fantastic solid FPS around 40fps

 

 

 

and one of my setup just for a laugh
