Check this out and let me know what you think. I have been experimenting with this for about an hour or two this morning and I am very impressed with the results. I am using the ATI Radeon 9500 Pro video card. Cool Cool

I went into my ATI CATYLYST CONTROL CENTER and set the following to "Let the Application Decide". I then turned on Anti Alias from within FSX".

Anti Alias
Ansitopic Filtering


I enables Adaptive Anti Alias (I'm not sure about this one and need to do more testing).
I also disabled Catalyst A.I.

Turn the sound off "Q" and see what happens?

I actually got degraded performance and switched back to ATI-controlled AA. I turn off AA anyways because I get about 2 fps with AA. My computer can't handle FSX. I am still have FS2004 hehe...

Please forgive me for not saying up front that this tip only applies to FSX. It is not applicable for FS9. Cool Cool

Well, on my rig, there wasnt a whole lot of frame rate change, but I did notice some terrain lag when AF was application preferred in ATI. My best visuals were with AA and bilinear in FSX and AA=6, AF=8, "wait for vertical sync"=OFF (this helped me significantly with lags in Fs9) in ATI. Mind you, if I go flipping views too quickly my processor quickly succumbs and my g-card just goes to sleep waiting on cycletime. Must have blazing bus speeds for this bird. I feel even a moderately fast processor would handle it, but the motherboard has got to be up to speed to handle the smoke signals from the graphics adapter.

Sorry for being "unorganized." I got degraded performance on FSX when trying out your tip, so I switched back to FS2004. Knowing that I was not going to play FSX for a long time, I uninstalled it and switched back my old settings in the ATI control panel.

Thanks for the tip though. I will try it out once I get another rig.
