Anti Alaising with Nvidia 8800gt

[Drewsta]

Hi to all My first post. I have a question about antialaising in Orbiter. I have an LG 22 inch monitor running at the highest resolution of 1680 x 1050 and im sure the Antialaising setting in the Nvidia control panel on the highest setting. However i can't seem to get the beautiful high rendered graphics i see in some of the screen shots. The graphics I have are great and crystal clear but not as good as they can be looking at other screenshots. My machine ( core 2 duo with Nvidia 8800gt etc) can more than handle it. Perhaps its my monitor? Are those screenshots perhaps in 1600 x 1024? I was thinking i should be getting a sharper and softer look to my graphics. For example, the screenshots on th AMSO 1.17 website are real nice. I have similar to that but not as nice. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

It's called post-screengrab-processing. The clean-looking promo shots you were looking at are, to put it this way, "shoop'd".

Oh, and regarding anti-aliasing, I have another problem: Whenever it's activated, there are weird blue squares around exhaust textures when viewed from a distance.

to the forum!

Only few screenshots are enhanced or "shoop'd".
Are you sure the settings you made in the driver are affecting your orbiter?
Are you using the correct T&L device in orbiter?
Did you download high resolution planet textures?

Those blue points around exhaust texture are the result of a known bug. Martin already made an announcement and gave instruction on how to prevent it in the creation of the texture. Getting a new exhaust texture will fix this problem.

I positive I have the correct settings but not sure wether or not they are working in orbiter as I thought my graphics would look a little better. ( They are good but not like some I've seen). Not sure what to do next?

How about you post a screenshot here?
That way we can see if your graphics are below what you can get.
