The garbled movies and the exiting error message are known bugs. Such is the unfortunate result when we are left to work with unfinished beta software.

Do you have to run DirectXTweaker every time you fly or just once?

Also how much AA can JF-18 handle?

You have to use DXTweaker to start the sim every time.

You can max out the AA on JF-18.

Check the explosion detail setting in your graphics options. Make sure something is selected.

Hello Joe:

I have installed everything for TSH as indicated on the TSH site. I have an nvidia 8800 with 169.75 drivers.Running tweaker with recommended settings.

I have an issue when i use the HI RES package: see pic-

banding is present, and the HUD AA ASEC circle is all over the screen (dots)


FPS is good, and AA mode fps is acceptable. I would like to run it in hi- res, any ideas?

thx-

Vexx

I assume you a referring to the TSHv1 Higher Resolutions package? If so, please do not use that package. Instead use TSHv3; you can select your resolutions in the TSHv3 Manager.

There is a detailed description in the Add-On Installation Guide in my sig.

Yes, only using TSHv3 to select Hi Res. the odd hud bits around are the AA ASEC. That and the banding are my only issues.

It may be possible the install is damaged in some way. The only other thing I think it could be are the nvidia drivers. I am using a very recent set. Does anyone else have the 169.75 drivers installed?

You're using this menu? I ask again because "HI RES" is a specific term that pertains to TSHv1, not v3.


The DXTweaker is beta and it doesn't work for everyone.

Yes that menu. I did however, use the previous package before I had installed TSHv3 to test that it installed correctly. Is it possible there was a conflict between the 2 if I hadn'd deselected it in TSH1 before installing TSH3?
