No-go for me. Am running an ATI AIW 9700 Pro. I don't recall nVidia users having any graphical issues....

No Go here. Dopped the FPS about 20 and screwed up the text. :rolleyes: Last night thought I did some major testing of all graphic options and should post results for people on my FAQ site some time today. \:\)

There is no such thing as 8xS antialiasing on an ATI card; it is a proprietary method of nVidia's.

I am asking for someone else with a 6800GT to see if 8xS AA eliminates the Air-to-Air slowdown. If it does, this would mean that it would be possible to run JF-18 on a piece of the latest and greatest hardware without reducing the image quality.

What are your thoughts regarding Tatsu's idea in his post below (from the thread at http://www.simhq.com/simhq3/sims/boards/bbs/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=32;t=008921 ):

Apparently you can make your ATI card go into super sample mode... that might fix the Air to Air slow down when using FSAA since it would be using SSAA. Use at your own risk!!! I don't have the heart to try it......yet.

CHANGEING TO NEW VERSION OF DIRECTX WITH ATI INSTRUCTIONS;

When installing a new version of DirectX from your current version when running a ATI Radeon 9550 video card with Radlinker, you MUST do the following to keep your Air to Air fix and water grid fix;
1. Un-Install Radlinker.
2. Un-Install all graphic card drivers and control panels.
3. Re-Start
4. Install new version of DirectX ##.
5. Re-Start
6. Install graphic card drivers and control panel.
7. Re-Start
8. Install Radlinker and creat radlink to F-18E.
9. Re-Start
10. Set all graphic settings to personal preference.
11. Play Jane's F/A-18E!!

***These instructions have been tested and found true using the ATI RADEON 9550 256MB DDR graphics card. Use of these instructions for your own video card are your sole responsibility.***
