Part II!

Part one here-->http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=screen;action=display;num=...

On approach to Frankfurt! It's been a long flight. Grin

Short Final

Touchdown! Smoke in Frankfurt...

Headed to the gate

Parked and disembarking

Hope you enjoyed this journey! The aircraft is from aerodesigns. I don't think they are on simV, but search avsim and you'll find it. Comments Appreciated!

Nice shots, boeingman...

But if you say "Boeing Always", how come you're flying an A-340?

???

Very nice! One question -- do you have anti-aliasing on?

Good point, that's a bit hypocritical of me! Embarrassed

I guess that I think some of Airbus' planes are neat, like the a320 and a340- but I still favor boeing. I cant stand airbus, who gets funds from many european govts, kicking the butt of Boeing, who is a private company. I dunno- maybe I just like the 747. ??? Grin

What is anti-aliasing? I guess the reason why is ignorance!

In general terms (and that's really the extent of my knowldge in this area), turning on anti-aliasing helps prevent the so-called jaggies. It smoothes the edges of objects. Not all video cards support the option, which also can reduce the all-important frame rates. In some cases, you may get "banding" (different shades) in the sky when you turn anti-aliasing on. You may wish to turn anti-aliasing on and see if it prevents jagged edges and still allow for good frame rates. Or, you may opt to turn it off in the simulator and tweak the visuals directly via your card's settings. Hope this made sense and, by all means, if anyone wishes to chime in, please do.
