Hi,

 

Turn down the amount of anti-aliasiing you're using. Loads of AA looks great with general views, but once you get into detail, like an aircraft panel, too much can make the panel blurry.

 

Cheers!

Are you turning down AA in your graphics cards control panel or trying to control it in FS?

 

Sometimes AA controls in FS don't work.

 

Cheers!

Great,

 

You can use certain amounts of AA, by tweaking the settings from your graphics card directly. Turning off AA completely sometimes doesn't look great either.

 

I notice you're using an ATI card. Do a search for "ATI Tray Tools". This is a replacment program for the Catalyst Control Center. I find it is far more configurable than the CCC. I use it to set profiles for the different software I use, so you can have different graphics tweaks when you need them.

 

Cheers!
