Help with Hardware settings
Hello dear pilots! I re-installed my FS2004 and now I have all my settings messed up. I tried to put some of them in their correct place, but some of them, specially the hardware settings, I don't remeber their place. Can you guys help me set the settings in their correct place? I'm using a GeForece FX5600 video card, so be respectful 🙄 😉. I will buy a new video card later...

Start at default and slowly work your way up.
Water, clouds, scenery, traffic all are power eaters and should be treated as such.
Mip map-4, use reflective shine, don't check the AA box and I don't know what else to tell you now.
You threw me for a lose there by asking "hardware" settings, I consider all of those software settings but we all have our interpretations don't we.

In Flight Simulator those settings are located in the Hardware menu.
Anyway, thank you RadarMan. I'll try those settings.
Point well taken it is listed under Hardware, my error.
I maxed most of mine out and sacrificed FPS for eye candy, it seemed more realistic even though I sometimes have to fight the stutters.
What are the rest of your specs Agus?
CPU, memory
That is a very decent video card you have there bye the way.
Michael_H, these are the rest of my computer specs:
Windows XP SP2
1.40GHz
1GB RAM 133Mhz (Memory Bus Speed)
Nvidia GeForce FX5600
2 Hard disks
Agus,
I think you should be able to get some anti-aliasing out of that card with your system.
Even 2X makes a big difference in how real your airplanes look. Turn it on within the video card proberties, not in the simulator settings.
Try it, and see if you take much of frame rate hit.

good advice above from RadarMan
Ok, thanks guys! I will try the Anti-Aliasing out tomorrow and see the difference. When I ste the Anti-Aliasing in the simulator, I get lower frame rates.
