Title: Antialiasing
Post by: ziggyc on July 17, 2007, 14:23:43: Is there any way to adjust the antialiasing in ShipSim 2008. It would be nice to get rid of the zigzag lines on boats and shorelines.

You can adjust antialiasing at your graphic card if there is a setting for this. See the manual for the graphic card (or Google your graphic card to find a manual). :)

Post by: wizzel on July 18, 2007, 22:23:13: Yeah, maybe they should make an option in Options->Graphics dialogue for the first official patch... ;D
THAT would be appreciated. I mean, come on - nobody ever changes the AA/AF settings in the Graphics Card driver.
Nearly every game has an AA/AF option to select. Maybe the developers ran into problems with AA/AF switched on ???

I can't see why VStep should not implement the option into the game.
For a good programmer it's just a matter of minutes, maybe a few hours.
But the "effect" it has would really boost the "overall quality" of the game.
...quick & easy ;)

But it seems i'm alone with my suggestion, here. ::)

Believe it or not, it's not always that easy to implement. Quite a few games I have don't have any Antialiasing option at all. I have programmed software in the past, many years ago and sometimes implementing 1 feature can 'break' 5 other features.

I wouldn't even attempt programming now, way too advanced for this 'older' mind lol

You never know, Vstep may introduce this in a future patch, but I think personally......1 thing at a time ;)

Post by: wizzel on July 18, 2007, 22:59:17: Ok, DJM - finally i agree with you, one thing at a time. But for me (if i would have coded the Options menu) it's one of the first things that would come to my mind *naturally*. 8)
Just look at the Options for Steam-powered games from Valve...

Post by: [RWP]DJM on July 18, 2007, 23:04:05: To be perfectly honest, I only use AA on a few games, BF 2 and BF 2142 being 2 of them ;)

I can use up to 8x AA on my Gfx card and barely even bother lol

I usually perform tweaks to my system as a combination of BIOS, Windows and game settings, I get great performance and top-notch graphics doing this :D

Hi, go into Control Panel and you should see 'NVIDIA Control Panel', or right click on the desktop and it should be in the menu.

Post by: [RWP]DJM on July 19, 2007, 11:07:06: On an nVidia card, you have to remove the tick from the box at the bottom labelled 'Application Controlled' you can then use the slider to choose the amount of AA you want ;)

Post by: MHP on December 20, 2009, 11:44:28: 2.5 years later and still no antialiasing option with SS08. :o

Must be more difficult to implement than first thought. :lol:

I'll try the nVidia options.

Thanks guys.

Post by: jammydodger on December 21, 2009, 11:47:29: I have a lovely new computer with a 300 odd mb graphics card and a 6Ghz processor! I have just used the Nvidea control panel to customize the anisostropic filtering and antialiasing, and WOW! I have everything on full and it runs like a dream!

Or they can't really implement it with a patch, and are waiting for SSE to be released. :D
