Need help Graphic Settings Flight Sim 2004, Windows 7

[kiwitrav]

Hi, I need some real help from those of you who have had experience in the " visual graphics" in Fs 2004?? I have a BIG problem with this...
Firstly, I have a Compac wide screen, Res at 1600x900
My Video card is nVidia GeForce G210 3D PCI-Express Graphics card 512 MB

I need to adjust something, but what, to
a/ Get rid of the jaggies
b/ as I have 4 GB of Ram in this machine, The scenery STILL looks " Blurry"
c/ Is there anything I have to change in the Video card settings?

In the Flight Sim settings, what should I be running the Res at there?
I have a 2.8Hz AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core Processor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Steve

Hey Steve,

First up, make sure you video card driver is up to date (visit the manufactures website)
Then tune the following things in the Sim by going to "Options-Settings-Display"...

• Set Water effects to None
• Turn off Sun flare and Lens flare
• Turn off Ground scenery casts shadows
• Under the hardware tab set the resolution to the native one for your monitor (1600*900)
• then go through and set every other slider on each page to about 3/4 setting

See how the frame rate is affected, if it looks much better just go through and slowly creep up each of the sliders you set to 3/4 a little higher or lower until you are happy

Hi Steve I assume you are talking about the jagged edges it it is then have you got the anti aliasing on if not put it on it should get rid of your jagged edges but it may drop your frame rate a little.

Please have a look at this guide to FSX and settings with programs like Nhancer that over ride the very floored nivida control panel ,this will sort you out and increase flps and how you now see the sim

Just to highlight something unbelievably important here ...

Don't just go to Nvidea, they have generic drivers that work with all 'nvidea' spec cards. Have a look on the box that the graphics card came in, or pull the card out and have a look, and see who actually made it - that's the website you go to for drivers. Don't worry how old they are, they are very specifically written for that exact card and almost certainly a better fit than the latest generic ones from nvidea.

Thanks guys, A BIG thanks to all of you for all that. Now got NO jaggies, a nice clean aircraft now.
I've only got 1 more issue to contend with now, that being "the blurries"
At this time, I'm getting, say at AKL in Real NZ for instance, the blurries disappearing and looking superb at approx 1 mile ahead. Would like to know how or if, it can be filling in to look "photo Real " at a greater distance.
Is there any settings tricks I could do, or the need to invest in another video card?
Thanks,
Steve
