Ok I have my FSX running ok'ish no my system but have a little niggley problem (well two actually)

I have Anti-Alias turned on via my graphics cards settings as as we all know thats the better way to do it. In full screen mode its great looks brilliant, however in windowed mode Anti-Alias turns itself off?

Not a problem you say just fly full screen however most of my flying is done multiplayer and flying with others on a server. The new FShost thing that you have to run to connect to FShost has a chat window and this will not overlay on top of FSX when it is full screened so I NEED to be able to fly windowed mode so I can see the chat box. Maybe this issue will be sorted out on the FShost connect thingh though personally I think in windowed mode Anti-Alias should still work as it did just fine in FS9.  So does anyone have any ideas how to resolve that?

Second issue is I finish flying in FSX and shut PC down. On re-boot my background display never fully loads? sometimes 25% of it is missing sometimes 50% its very odd. I have to go to my display settings and reset it. Anyone else noticed this and worked out why it does it?

I will mention a 3rd little niggle too. I have been reading threads on here with interest and visited London (im a UK resident) in the sim and the terrain is indeed appaling along the Thames river. I went to VNLK (airport by Mount everest) and that is totally screwed up to now. I have the Lukla addon scenery for FS9 so know what it looks like for real and the FS9 default was more accurate than the FSX one. Go check it out as I know most of you will know this airport.

On another note I to frequent LFLJ (Courcheval) where Rollerball mentioned about the tree at the end of a runway. What an annoynace it is!! Get in a glider and call for the tow plane.  Tow plane makes it through the tree, glider didnt lol  Sad

Still the general feel of the sim is good and I like it its just the few annoying niggley things at these common places visited in the sim that are a bit of a let down IMO. Hopefully an update one day will resolve many of these underlying issues  Grin

Well there's nuffin you can do about it, try turning of AA in the game but i doubt that'll work, graphics always suck in windowed mode.
