You'll know. Aircraft surfaces, among other things, will look jagged and rough.Regards,Jim Karn

I tried DX10 and changing settings and ended up with half the frame rates in DX9!Solved it by removing nHancer and in FSX set:AA onFiltering to AnsioAt least in DX9 that give a decent image with excellent frame rates.I'll pass on DX10 for now.

The sim was still running, as I could hear throttle response, a plane taking off behind me, and was able to respond to ATC, but there was nothing on the screen. I alt+tabbed, alt+entered and couldn't get it back at all. :(

I've tweaked nHancer as per this post by Nick N at Simviation:http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/Ya...um=1183998514/0I do get AA in the game (full screen mode) but not in the UI aircraft preview window. Frame rates are pretty good, with a limit set at 30 fps. I like the expansion pack and its impact on the game, its eye candy, and my frame rates.

Ed,If you're having troubles with FS9 and AA/AF with your nVidia card and the new drivers, you might want to revisit this thread:http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=38921Note that the system for using nHancer with the newer drivers has necessarily changed. Note as well that you need not only duplicate the FS2004 driver but then delete it and create a new one. (And turn off AA in FS9.) Again, Ryan's suggestions for fixing the new drivers are interspersed through that thread.(I apologize for noting this FS9 fix in the FSX forum...but others might find this helpful.)Good luck,Mike
