FS Force 1 disabling anti-aliasing in FS9

Post by deetee » Mon Feb 11, 2008 7:53 pm

Hi,

I've been using FS9 after a long hiatus and came across a peculiar issue.
To cut a long story short, anti-aliasing stopped working in FS9. I spent quite a few hours tracing the cause, which I have found to be Fsforce.dll. If I remove or rename this dll from the modules folder the AA comes back. I've tried all sorts of graphics card tricks and configs to get around this but have not found a solution. I hope there is one because I really like FS Force!

I'm running the latest driver on an Nvidia 8800 GTX, and my OS is Vista x64.

Many thanks for your help.

That's interesting. I'll try to reproduce it on my machine (I've got an 8800 GT), but even if I can, there's nothing I can do about it, except notify nVidia that their drivers have a bug.

I've been able to verify this using my 8800GT. I also noticed AA does not work at all when FS9 is in windowed mode, regardless of whether FS Force was running or not.

I've sent a bug report to nVidia.

There seems to be a lot of people having problems with AA with the 8800 series. Check out this thread on the nVidia forums.

It's not only the 8800 cards but all nVidia cards using drivers released in the last 6-8 months.

It alway amazes me how little nVidia and ATI care about FS9 & FSX. Surely
the installed user base of FS9 & FSX is huge yet getting them to issue a
driver for their cards tweaked for FS only is impossible.

Here's how I fixed my filtering problems on my 7800GT.
