What are the best graphics settings in FS2004 to reduce 'jaggies'?

Turning on Anti-A?

High screen resolutions?

Bilinear or Trilinear flitering?

Thanks for any help given! Smiley

I'm presuming that an ATI Radeon 850XT PE shouldn't have 'jaggies' on planes in FS2004 - or can they never be totally eliminated at present?

Using your VIDEO CARD, set the AA to the highest level possible.  If you're noticing any adverse performance effect, back it off a little bit.

The in-game AA is a resource hog, and should be turned off.  Let your graphics card do it's job.

EDIT:  Higher resolutions also help...didn't see you mention that.  lol

Filtering doesn't really help jaggies. But turn on FSAA to 8x can really help image quality.

For a x850 xt PE, you can use the highest settings you want.

Set your resolution to 1600 by 1200 and run AA at 4x.

Make sure to set FSAA and AA through the drivers.

Even thought Aniso won't help with the jaggies it'll certainly reduce blurries and far-away textures. It'll also make you textures look much smoother and sharper.  8)

Like Hype and AP said, activate AA and AF through drivers and not FS.  Cheesy

Hi Edzman,

Sorry for my crude writing - Aniso is short for 'Anisotropic Filtering'.

Cheers!
