Depending on you PC spec either one can affect FPS . MSAA is Game picture Anti Aliasing and TSSAA is Buldings and trees etc Anti Aliasing

Oh thanks,

 

so than it is possible to use both at same time?

 

My rig is now up to date. Installed yesterday/today my win7 64 bit with 16GB Rams and my GC is a GTX 680.

 

Thanks

Hi,

It's 2 different filters, MSAA is a sort of "global AA", TSAA is filtering through fences for examples.

Great guys.

 

Thanks for your responses.

To be specific: MSAA cannot work with multiple surfaces behind each other - thus the additional option for TSSAA, where the T is for "transparency". Relevant for more than stuff like windows - also affects textures that have transparent backgrounds, like ground clutter sprites and like Madone mentioned - fences.

hmmmm... wonder if that's why at certain angles it looks like ships are floating above water as I can see the whole ship above and below the waterline.

 

Thanks for explaining it in a bit more detail- I'll have to look closer.

It would be nice with some info like that when mouse over. Not just in DCS but in other games as well. Some have a shitload of different options, like Arma 3, and I haven't got a clue what the difference is.

IIRC there's something about that in the GUI manual :)
