... not sure if this is in the right forum, but here's from yesterday's flight from Los Angeles to Papeete (French Polynesia). That's where we spent our honeymoon so this was special for me! Wink

Taking off from LA...

Flying over some of the northern FP atolls...

Landing with nearby thunderstorms...

Enjoy!

Increase your AA,clean-up the clutter(bar at top/red info words) and you've got some great looking shots. Wink

Thanks for the suggestion -- how do I remove the menu bar at the top? I notice if I wait a while the red text on the right goes away, but I'm not sure what else...

Thanks,
Barb

I'm using "anisotropic", is that a good setting? Undecided

AA means antilasing and what it does is it makes Jagged lines(jaggies) smooth, there will be an option for it in the fsx settings Wink

Bad idea using that.

In FSX, use Trilinear filtering, an make sure AA is unchecked. Then in your video card control panel (if you use an nVidia card, use nHancer, which can be found on www.nhancer.com) and set the highest anisotropic filtering, along with a level of AA, that works for you

I thought it was 'press to get', 'hold to get rid'.

Very nice shots!

i use the default AA and my graphics card enhances it

Not sure what your specs are,but if you've got an Nvidia card it's best to use Nhancer like Anxyous suggested. You can find the set-up for it here.

Also,it would be wise to look at Nick's post on making FSX run better.

It's helped my sim experience immensely. Wink

That's up to you, but the default AA takes up a horrendous amount of resources Wink

If you have an nVidia card, use nHancer

There's a similar program for ATI cards, but i can't remember what it's called...
