How to set AA and AF ?

[Nexus_70]

Hi

in a thread i found something about setting the AA and AF filtering. Can anybody tell me where in the game this can be done?

 

Thanx

It is normally done in the control panel for your graphics card. For NVIDIA card alternate click on desktop or nviida icon in system tray, select "Nvidia control panel"

Click on "manage 3D settings" . Here you can enable AA and AF globally or program specific.

 

Hope this is helpful. Best of luck.

There is no way to set AA/AF via the game options, you have to do it in your graphics card driver control panel.

O.K. :-)

I know how to set AA and AF using the control panel (i have 2x8700GT SLI) but was trying to find the settings in the game options for at least half an hour :-)

Thanx!

Now see, just me, but when I see AA in an aircraft game, I tend to think of Air-to-Air weapons or Anti-Aircraft type weapons. I know, it is just me, but here is another illustration as to why it is quite helpful to actually say (or type, in this case) what you are talking about.

some ppl (like me) have problems to activate AA and AF when creating a profile for BS. i had to delete BS from the profiles list, and need to force AA and AF in the global setting, then it works.

 

and try higer AA setting, i have better frames with 8xAA than with 4xAA

@Sunjah: Thanx for your helpful comment :-)

 

@mckee14: I think i have AA disabled in my global settings. I'll set it to 8x. Maybe my frames will be better afterwards (~30 with the actual settings)

No problem!

 

{for any who don't happen to know, he means Antialiasing and Antrisopic filtering}

Yeah that was pretty clear. He did write AA an AF Filtering. AA+AF and "Filtering" being a huge pointer to what he asks about. :) Maybe that was changed after your post though Sunjah. In that case nvm.

 

Carry on.

No problem!

No way :-)

My laptop is not that strong:

DELL XPS 1730, Core2Duo 2,2 GHz, 4 GB RAM, Raid 0 2x120 GB, 2xNVidia 8700GT SLI

With high AA and AF the frames drop below 15 everytime a heli comes into view.

My guess is your FPS is low due to your CPU. This game doesnt start to crank out good framerates until your CPU reaches 3ghz.

eg: my fps on my core2 8200 was below 30fps until i overclocked CPU to 3.2ghz and engaged my second core.

People using a single core P4 cpu over 3ghz coupled with a decent PCIe GFX card can achieve better FPS than others on low end core2 cpu's. This is particularly apparent if both cores are not enabled.

 

Also engaging your second core if you havnt already.

 

My thoughts anyhow, I could be wrong :)

I suspect that too. But i wonder why the frames drop when i use AA and AF filtering. I thougt that would only affect the GPU not the CPU.

When i fly over a plain landscape with no trees and other aircrafts my frames are 40+.

...fps are waaaayyy lower with AA @ 4x than @ 16x - dunno why but it is that way!

 

This makes it fluffy with my specs @ highest quality..... native @24" @jsut a 8800GT

Unbelievable! :pilotfly:

 

have to go ..... :pilotfly:

Interesting on the 4x vs 16x...I'll give it a shot tonite. Thanks for the heads up.
