Strange blue lines when thrusting.

[Capt. Speirs]

I am looking for a fix that I had found by accident for thin colored lines where there should be thruster textures on the default Shuttle Atlantis. I read about it and now that I am experiencing it myself, I can't find the post. Anyone know how to fix this? Not all the thruster textures are affected just some. There is no flame texture, just a thin blue lined box around where it should be. This is even there on a clean install.

52 peeks and no answer, till now!

Well, thanks for all your interest in this problem, can't believe no one had an answer. Well, I messed around with it and found the solution.

In nHancer you can force Anti-Aliasing, so I did and behold, the blue lines (boxes) around the thrusters are gone. To boot I get fantastic textures at 150+fps. :speakcool:

These are the nHancer settings that work for me if anyone cares;

Enhancements
Anti-Aliasing - Checked
Multisampling - Selected
16xQ - Selected
Enhanced in-game AA setting - Checked
Multi - Checked
Anisotropic Filtering - Checked
16x - Selected
Vertical Sync - Off

Optimizations
Texture Filtering - High Quality
Trilinear optimization - on
Aniso sample optimization - off
Negative LOD BIAS - clamp

I actually tried the recommended replacement textures, didn't work. The Shuttle Fleet mod using prograde shows this flaw really well, like I said, forcing AA fixed it for me, thanks though.

Well, technically your AA did not fix the solution, just blurred it out enough to where you can't see it I bet, I know that AA can cause other problems though. With the AA on my graphics card it makes the stars disappear if its set too high.
