Can't get Anti-Aliasing to work in FSX-SE???

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I am currently having issues with antialiasing in FSX-SE. It seems that no matter what I do, I cannot get antialiasing to work. I am running the sim in DX10 with Steve's DX10 fixer, I have tried tweaking NVIDIA inspector, but I just cannot get antialiasing to work. I hate the jagged, pixilated edges of the scenery and planes I'm flying. My FSX.cfg and in the sim indicates that anti-aliasing is enabled but it is clearly not.

Is there any way I can still get AA to work?

 

Thank you in advance!

changed fsx to fsx-se for clarification

What amount of AA have you set?

Also worth noting is that jaggies on the menu screen are not necessarily present when the sim actually loads up.

In nVIDIA Inspector? I have it set to 8xS antialiasing. The jaggies present on the menu screen are also present when the sim loads up.

Aces configured the freeflight window not to have any AA at all and that was retained in FSX steam.   It is possible to override that in DX9 by forcing it from Nvidia Inspector  but that does not work in DX10.  Therefore you will never have AA in the free flight window  if  using DX10.  When you load a flight in DX10 antialiasing does work if you set it properly.

8xS which is presumably what you used in DX9 is 4x MSAA + 2 x super sampling. 

The closest fit is therefore to use the default 4x MSAA and add 4x Sparse Grid SuperSampling

You say that you have the fixer but do you mean the payware fixer or do you mean the freeware shader patches for DX10 that are not the fixer at all but which people somehow confuse?

If you have the fixer then follow the instructions in the manual and set the MSAA AA level in the fixer.  

If you dont have the fixer then you need to go into fsx settings and ensure that the AA box is ticked in the graphics tab.  That will give you 4x MSAA. 
The Nvidia Antialiasing level that you set to 8xS does not do anything in DX10 you must do the above.

Having sorted out the basic AA you then need to add Super Sampling.  This is set by the Nvidia Inspector field Transparency SuperSampling.    Set to 4x Sparse Grid SuperSampling.

Well now I'm confused. My FSX-MS almost completely default instillation does not look like the OP's free flight window. No jaggies what so ever. Even my 6 year old laptop with word not allowed graphics doesn't look even close. I set AA to max in the game settings. Otherwise GPU settings don't work well.

i5, 16 GB ram, GTX 960, FS on SSD, Windows 10 64 bit, home built works anyway.

The simple answer is that you have not ticked the Preview Direct X 10 box.

It would be better to show us a screenshot of the AA problem you have on an aircraft from within the actual sim, not the aircraft selection  screen where the jaggies typically are displayed.
