Title: Best Graphics setting
Post by: Third Mate on December 05, 2010, 07:09:36
I was wondering, the ships look a bit boxy, does anyone know what would be a config to have less boxes around the edges of the boats?

Usually having more AA (anti-aliasing) smoothes the edges..Check your graphics card settings..
You may need to find a balance between quality and speed.. :)

It's a ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series on a Windows 7 operating system. Funny thing is I can't find the graphic setting anywhere, I though this card would make it smooth not boxy. Flight sim X, that has antialsiing in the game so you could set it there, I have silent hunter 5 with runs smooth with most features. The only to sims atm with boxy edges are my rail simulator and SSE. I also have  a HD monitor quite big, if it helps  :-X

You have to set AA in your Catalyst Control Center(CCC), you can go there by right clicking the red ATi logo in the right down corner of your screen ;)

wow, thanks for that, this is the first time I worked with these type of cards and I know about 10% about them, and a few things I heard from here and there. This will defendant come in handy  :thumbs:
