set your vertex level to 20. This way your sim will display terrain mesh at the 38 meter resolution. 19 is for 76 meter and interpolates all other resolutions below it.

Boldpilot's nerdy son clearly advises that I'd need a dual-core CPU when tropicalfish and I have already stated that FS9 does not require a dual-core CPU, as FS9 came into being before dual-core CPUs,and yes,I have already discovered that FS9 does not see an SLi-graphics set-up

As to harkonnen's point that the AA in FS9 is awful,in fact I have just discovered that opting for the AA setting from within the NVidia nTune applet and disabling the Sim's AA option,I ended up getting awful 'jaggies' as I observed when departing VIDP custom secenery add-on and all the parked bus transports in a line at VIDP and a departing AI A310,plus my own PSS 777-200ER had them.Opting for the Sim's AA soon cured that.


I have heard that nVidia's AA doesn't always work with FS.
Try disabling the nVidia AA and AF settings, and see if you still get the stutters.

Revoraman...here's where to set that 'Max global texture size'; In FS9's 'Settings', 'Hardware'. I find it hard to live without this one maxed out though...you'll see the aircraft and scenery textures go to a lower resolution. Not that appealing if you're used to having the slider maxed out. Crying or Very sad

Kill the 'ground scenery casts shadows', and try and live with 'simple' clouds, or 'clear all weather' to save more frames per second?

I've owned nothing but nVidia's, and all have had excellent rendering with FS9 and FSX with AA and AF settings set to max.

Experience rules over "what you heard".

Thanks for your posts,tropicalfish,groundsquirrel & harkonnen.

Already done before your respective posts.Disabled the NVidia AA and AF settings.Display settings set as per your suggestions,harkonnen,and yes,scenery and aircraft textures do take a hit lowering this setting.Will try adjusting the vertex level in FS9.cfg,groundsquirrel.

Just interrupted a 1224nm flight from VIDP-OMDB PSS 777-200ER,to check posts,and so far,except for a very slight stutter at take-off threshold,the track itself at 40k has been pretty smooth,no 'jaggies',and coping with downloaded Jeppesen real-weather too.Touch wood!

Will update.
