Look in FS9 options and turn off Anti Aliasing. On your video card's options, turn on AA and AF there. I use 4x AA and 2 x AF, experiment with what gives you the best quality vs performance. Essentially AA smooths the edges and AF sharpens distant objects ( < a very simplified explanation).

I have a guide somewhere on my PC that I will hunt down for you.

Matt, Do you any problems with stutters and slow loading of FSnav with AA and AF set?

Not that I have noticed mate. The one thing that has slowed my FS loading and plane selection screen though is re-installing IVAO and the MTL library. I uninstalled it and it was back to normal, and even after a minimal reinstall of the MTL's has slowed things down again.

Once I finish the IVAO NZ IFR tour I'll get rid of it again and stay with Vatsim.
