Antialiasing for simulator.exe on Nvidia

I'm not sure if I need to post this in DCS or Lock On forum as my question involves both. In order to enable antialiasing on BS and LO, I must use the Nvidia control panel and add the executable for simulator.exe. However, because both BS and LO uses an executable named simulator.exe, whenever I configure one in Nvidia control panel, it overrides the other.

 

So, the question is how do I add each simulator.exe (one from BS and the other from FC) in the Nvidia control panel? Is there a way to do this so that I can get antialiasing working on both sims?

 

Thanks.

For me I select simulator.exe in the Nvidia panel and my settings are used for both sims, which is fine for me.

which simulator.exe did you use? BS or Lockon? Thanks.

It doesn't matter, nvidia control panel just checks the executable name, not the whole path.

Why add each executable?

 

Since graphics engine is the same I pressume that you want the same AA and anisotropic settings.

 

When you make a change on one "simulator.exe" the changes applies to the other aswell.

what about a Radeon card? Do you need simulator.exe for that?

 

There isn't an antialiasing option in FC 2?

Raytheon? Do you mean Radeon?

YEah ATI Radeon HD 4670 , sorry bout that? You need a seperate program for antialiasing in FC 2?

simulator.exe is not a separate program, that's the executable file of the game. As FC2 and DCS share the same basic structure, in both games the main executable file has the same name. And no, you don't need a separate program, you just set the desired AA/AF values in your driver settings.

When you say in your driver settings, you mean the computers or FC 2s option panel?

I mean ATi Catalyst Control Center (CCC). There are no in-game AA settings in FC2. But still they work pretty well when enforced via the driver's control panel :)

Gotta yah!:smilewink:

For ATi graphics cards, give ATi Tray Tools a tryout, alot more reliable than CCC

Why is is CCC not reliable, is it not compatible with FC 2 or what?

 

I just tried CCC and it works.

I've seen many many reports of Anti-Aliasing or Anisotropic Filtering settings not staying applied with CCC, never seen that kind of activity at all with ATT.

 

Also, i've never ever needed the use of a "profile" to get AA or AF working with ATT.

Thanks guys. So only the name of the executable matters and not the path. That answers my question.

CCC with FC2 works fine on my rig, now i`m using Catalyst 10.6 and AA is set to 4x with Edge-detect filter, AF is set to 16x...

Hi guys,

 

What 3D settings are you setting in the Nvidia control panel to have the antialiasing working?

Hi guys,

Antialiasing - Mode: Override any application setting

Antialiasing - Setting: 4x

Thank you mig29... Got it working now...

Please note that for A-10C Beta you want to do the opposite, let the application do the anti-aliasing. It may be worth setting up different profiles for LockOn/BlackShark and A-10C to configure the graphics settings correctly.
