Hi all,
I currently run FS2004 but all my screenshots seem to end up with the dreaded jagged edges. Is there any easy (i.e. without changing the hardware) way of improving them?
Thanks,

Well, you can edit them out. A permanent solution would be to turn up the AA in your graphics card. Depending on your system, that may decrease performance.

Cool

Thats good, here is a pic of what else we need to know about your specs.

if you could find that information it would greatly help us, and if you need help finding it just let me know Wink

Well, it really doesn't matter what your specs are, regardless of what hardware you have the way you get rid of jaggies is by turning on Anti-Aliasing. Either in the FSX settings or in the Nvidia Control Panel.

Whether or not your system can handle it.. well that's where the hardware comes into play. Yours will probably be a bit slow but you should be able to get rid of the jaggies just fine.

Hiya

There is an issue with flightsim and the nvidia control panel where the settings you specify such as AA is ignored by the Sim. this can be very frustrating as everything you try seems to have no effect.

the simple cure for this is to install 'nhancer' - it is designed to allow you to have complete control over your video settings. It works on stored 'profiles' that you can tune to your needs. It overrides anything set in the nvidia control panel.

The results are fantastic

In another thread, I mentioned how enabling AA in FS9 had magically removed jaggies for me. Others chimed in that they'd experienced the same thing. My setup is pretty basic - P4/3.0 2G RAM and 8400GS card. Worth a shot.

THIS IS NOT A PANAM CLIPPER
