Hello HJG Members, After looking at many of your screenshots, I was wondering how some of you do to erase or at least make some lines on liveries look more smooth. When I take a screenshot, on some on the liveries, it looks like some lines appear like "stairs" because of the pixels. What do you do or use to make screenshots so perfect in fact ? And what is the best setting to have on FS9 ? In advance, thank you very much !  Matt |

And what is the best setting to have on FS9 ? It is called jagged appearance. There are two solutions for this. One is to activate anti-alaising function in your FS2004. The other one is to NICELY ask the painter who is the copyright owner of such livery texture if he could fix the jagged lines in his livery textures. There is no editing software that can sharpen your screenshot's jagged lines of airline livery but sometimes it works if you use sharpening function in your editing software to make little fuzzy airline name fonts on both sides of the plane in your screenshots look sharp.

It should be possible to address this per both your graphics card settings .... and Display Hardware settings within FS itself Matt.
Updating your graphics card drivers might help too .... as might increasing you applied FS display/graphics resolution size too .... and then making sure whatever you select in FS isw also in agreement with whatever value you've set within your WINDOWS display options too.
I can't, really, advise specifically (but I know precisely what you mean .... because I've both seen, xperienced, and resiolved this sort of issue on my systems) .... BUT AT THE VERY LEAST AND POSSIBLY FIRST OF ALL .... you should perhaps check you have the "ANTI-ALIASING" options selected "ON" within you Display Hardware settings within FS (experiment with the other filtering options there too) ..... and then .... start looking at your card specific options/settings.
That's about the best I can advise,
Tony can possibly offer "better advice" on this than me .... since he's quite good at analysing this sort of stuff.

Mark is right, anti aliasing either in FS itself or on your video card, but sometimes you need to be in full screen and not windowed to get it to work, varies with settings and cards and drivers! It takes a while to get it all set up right.

To go to full screen viewing mode .... select keyoard commands "ALT" and then "ENTER" Matt.
Some graphics cards work that way .... BUT .... first and foremost select a screen resolution and ANTI-ALAIASING within FS .... and then experiment with all of your display seetings (within FS and your card) from there and in order to determine what workks best for you.

Thanks to all of you for the help !
Besides the antialiasing (that I activated), what are the performance that you usually put ? The highest one ?

Settings will differ according to graphics hardware capabilities, monitor capabilities, and personal preferences to .... BUT .... my own FS2004 based settings are as follows .... AVAILABLE DISPLAY RESOLUTION = 1600 X 1200 X 32 HARDWARE RENDERING OPTIONS .... - Render To Texture = checked - Transform And Lighting = checked - Anti-Aliasing = checked FILTERING = Trilinear MIP MAPPING QUALITY = 4 HARDWARE RENDERED LIGHTS = 6 GLOBAL MAX TEXTURE SISZE = Massive Dome folk may disagree with my settings (and that's fine), but, As I mentioned these are the settings that seem to work best "FOR ME" and in FS2004 .... and based on my own system which is (admittedly) a much older configuration which is just under 10 years old now. My screen size resolution in pasrticular is dictated by the capabilities of an old VGA monitor .... BUT .... it still works fine "for me"  As TRony sais .... ones got to "experiment" in order to find the best settings for their system based on their configuration and which can take some time to establish. Interpret my above-mentioned FS2004 settings as being "THE BARE BASICS" .... since your card/hardware will/should have a great many more filtering options to play with and will have "THE LAST SAY".
