AntiAliasing in DCS 1.5 and 2.0

What exactly is flat terrain shadow?

"flat shadows" don't conform to the terrain

test it by going into a mountainous area and flying really low. You will see the shadows from the hill tops actually lay flat out over the side of the hill like an awning. They are in mid air.

You'll need the sun in a low position to see this.

So flat shadows off is better looking but may cost some fps :thumbup:

Hi,

I'd like to try a different method of AA using Nvidia inspector. I haven't applied manually is no option. What can be and works to the internal AA add Sparse Grid Supersampling 2 – 8. In older posts I read that there is a need to set the Antialiasing compatibility to the code of 0x000000C1 or 0x00400005 that the function has no effect. I tried older Nvidia drivers and utility Inspector still nothing.

Also with "flat shadows" the terrain shadow color is different from the shadows on the aircraft.
