dgor 0 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hi, Is anyone else experiencing this with the latest nVidia drivers (169.21)? I have my global settings set to 4xAA and 8xAS but FS9 dosen't seem to be showing any AA, not sure about the AS. I tried giving FS9 its own specific settings with the Program Settings tab but still no luck. I've checked FS9's own anti-aliasing checkbox and made sure it is off as I know they cancel each other out. Is anyone else experiencing this after installing the new drivers or is it just me? I've never had this problem before formatting and installing the new software. Haven't had time to check yet so I don't know if it is doing the same in other games? System specs, for reference: FS partition: Windows XP Service Pack 2 Other partition: Windows Vista nVidia 7600GT - 169.21 drivers Intel Pentium 4 3.06GHz 1GB DDR2 RAM 160GB HDD (80GB per partition) Thanks in advance for any help :-) Dave Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hi Dave, Knowing you I expect you have looked in all the usual places, the trouble is there are so many. I am using 163.75 and as far as I am aware the AA is working fine. Try rolling back the driver to the previous version via display properties - settings - advanced - adapter - properties - driver -roll back driver. Or you can always go here http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_archive.html to pick up a previous driver. Not sure what else to suggest. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
dgor 0 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Thanks Joe, will try rolling back the driver now - I had thought about that but wasn't sure where to look. Cheers :-) *EDIT: Nope, still no luck :sad: This kind of thing can get really annoying after a while, FS9 is never happy. Link to post Share on other sites
dgor 0 Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Joe, I've rolled back to the last driver I remember installing before formatting (all the way back to 93.71 :sad: ) and it seems to have fixed the problem. nVidia's control panel might not like FS9 methinks. *scuttles off for a Radar Contact flight* Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Thanks for letting me know Dave. I will have to check this out myself I am sure my version is ok but know you say .... Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Had similar problems myself, tried everything, Control Panel, in the sim, the lot. Then, mysteriously I did something that worked, just at random, no idea what it was, haven't checked again for a while, wouldn't surprise me if it was off again. Very mysterious. I'm using the latest Beta, as it's required for CoD4. Link to post Share on other sites
A320cap 0 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I also have these drivers installed and all I can say is that they are awful. I can see "stairs" everywhere in FS2004! Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Stairs? Where do they lead Panos. Have you tried climbing them? :rofl Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Panos, You can always use the link above to the old drivers, one may work for you? Link to post Share on other sites
A320cap 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Stairs? Where do they lead Panos. Have you tried climbing them? :rofl OK, it's not called "stairs". It's "stair step". Proof: Mut: I have 163.75 saved on my PC. I may roll back Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Panos... I feel you pain. There's nothing that sends a sim/game racing back in time more than no anti ziggy zaggy aliasing. Thankfully I rarely use FS9 anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Panos, I just tried the latest WHQL and had the same issue in FSX. Aliasing all over the place, awful. You can get AA if you switch to 'application controlled' in the CC. Unfortunately FSX then defaults to a low level. What the hell are nVidia playing at? Just tying the latest beta.

mutley 4,495 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Keep us up to date with your progress UM as what works for you will probably work for me Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

MartinW 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Tried the beta last night, same issue, no anti aliasing at all. If set to application controlled in the control panel profile it works with FSX AA set to on, but as I said the level of AA is low. Restored to my old driver and its fine. How do we report this to nVidia, I have been all over their site and can Link to post Share on other sites
A320cap 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 1) Which drivers are u using now? 2)Maybe in their forum? Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Lads... just found this: 'profile AA is broken for all Direct3D titles' From: http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/in ... 54877.html WE are not alone, seems most are having this problem, the profile settings are being ignored. Also explains why Crysis has no AA for me, no matter what I do. For gods sake get your act together nVidia. XXXXX Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 So is the resolution to roll back until they fix it? Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I have, I gather there is also the nHancer option. I'm going to have another look at my set up later. Link to post Share on other sites
reef 3 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Ive been trying to get nHancer working in FS with no joy. Maybe i'm doing something wrong. I don't want to roll back as im having a blast on COD4 so looks like FS is turned off for me for now Are nVidia even sorting this mess ? steve (grounded :mrhappy: ) Link to post Share on other sites
JoeEllwood 0 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Give the new beta drivers a go. I had my AA solved before I installed them thru nHancer but they did solve my menu CTD issues in full screen mode. Link to post Share on other sites
reef 3 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Tried different ways through nhacer and also new beta drivers and no Joy. Some people seem to get it working in nhancer by deleting the origional MSFS2004 entry and building a new one but it tells me since forceware 169 i can no longer delete it. Its a pain in the *** steve Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I'm using older drivers. It's a pain in the bum. You can't even tell nVidia about it. Can Link to post Share on other sites
reef 3 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Finally resolved it. I reverted back as far as 8x.x drivers and still i had no AA. It was like the new drivers had set it up with no AA and was not going to let me change it. With nHancer you can delete old profiles but not with the 169.x drivers as it wont let you. The problem was solved by using the 162.x drivers used with nHancer to create a new profile as these will let you get rid of the old profile. SO finally i have my FS back. steve Link to post Share on other sites
