Finally was able to get into the game! Yeah!

Anyway.. none of the graphics options are sticking for some reason when I launch. I have Vista 64 and GTX285 with the latest drivers. Does anyone know what's going on?

What do you mean settings not sticking? Are you adjusting them in the ROF Settings applet or the startup.cfg?

Are you setting your AA to one thing in ROF and then setting it again in the video card manager?

Need to be a little more specific.

I think I'm ok now.. two things alerted me.. one was low, or no anisotropic filtering, and the lack of grass. I forced 16x anisotropic in the Nvidia CP and it's a bit better, and the grass was my fault (I had expected it on the runway area and was using that as my test). These seems to be no af on your own plane though, is that right or is it just a really low res. texture? I'm mostly referring to when you look back at your tail section.

I'm still trying to get antialiasing to work better, the plane is ok but far off rivers and roads need a bit more tweaking, if it's even possible.

It's a beautiful engine though, they did a good job.

Good deal, glad it's working.

If you are using the nVidia control, you may want to turn off all POST EFFECTS in the ROF Settings App. -- you might see significant graphic (and FPS) increase that way.

I have everything as high as it will go, all post effects on, and I wish it could go higher actually. This is with the game's highest settings, kinda meh.



It's a bit better to force 16x AF, and supersampling 8x QAA. The textures just aren't that good really, resolution wise.

Could you maybe post your startup.cfg WWBrian?

so it doesn't look better with post effects turned off?

I think the post effects turned on in ROF may effect the way the NVManager controls the display.

...turn it off just to troubleshoot it. See if it doesnt get any better.

Like you, I have everything max...except I have post effects OFF

(and I think it looks better) -- see if you agree?
