Nvidia and AA

[KG26_Alpha]

Just use the global setup

[Feuerfalke]

"Override any application setting" is the key.

If you chose "enhance application setting" or any other option, FSAA won't be activated ingame.

Ok guys, I´ve turned off (to global) any setting in the Il-menu and set the global AA to override any app. and 8xQ mode. Still no luck...

Are you running a fresh installation or did you upgrade your drivers at any point?

If you didn't clean your registry from remains of previous driver-settings, it's possible that you will not be able to actually save your changes (even though it may look like it).

I recommend nHancer. You can download this tool for free and once installed you can override any setting, no matter if there is a conflict with older driver-settings or not. You can also fine-tune some options with quick access.

I recommend you don't install any 3rd party NV tools at the moment

These can cause more problems especially if there's a driver fault.

Post your IL2 1946 v409m conf. file contents here please .

Meanwhile download the latest NV driver and also Driver Sweeper

http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/

Use as per instructions and clean the driver up.

Install latest or preferred driver, then pop back here

Thanx for your input guys... The thing is, I´m a VERY frequent user of FS9, which is VERY sensitive to Nvidia driver updates.

I´d rather not update the drivers at the moment, since I´ve had tons of trouble with FS9 every time I´ve tried that... Current driver is 182.50

I´ve also tried to override stuff with Nhancer, but no luck there either..

Here´s the config..

Good idea to make a new account for this post.
