With anti-aliasing it would be perfect. I still like the pic as it is right now.

what is anti-aliasing??

what is anti-aliasing??

It's a way of 2D image processing (and either 3D at the last stage of rendering). It smoothes the edges of objects generally. Today the graphic cards do that by mixing colors of pixels at and close by the visible edge of an object. Some techniques also smoothes the textures.

Here's an example:

How do you turn on Anti-Aliasing?

The shortest way is to enable it in game menu - but in Il-2 this is not possible (maybe by editing conf.ini :?: )

It can be enabled in graphic driver as well. You should check your graphic card properties. There are also 3rd parties tools, which can set up your driver. For ATI cards i advice ATI Tray Tools - a small yet very powerful tool :twisted:

BTW, enbling it causes a penalty in performance, as you can expect from such 'eye candies' :evil:

Anti-aliasing is very distinguishable in flight sims, because sharpen edges of planes are clearly visible with bright sky in their background. Personally i can't even look at Il-2 (and other flight sims too) without AA, since I was able to use it for the first time with Radeon 9700 years ago (LOL, it was original Il-2 Sturmovik, not even The Forgotten Battles yet...)
