For us non-geeks, would you advise having anti-aliasing on or off (For best overall game play)?

Is simply a matter of preference.

With anti-aliasing on 3d objects look a bit soft and blurry.

With anti-aliasing off 3d objects look sharper, but with jagged edges (pixilation)

Like the man said, your choice.

I just wanted to make sure we were comparing the same view.  The answer is no, my view of the tower and B24 are not that sharp in regular AH and of course VR is much worse.

Then that would be due to your settings or something external to the game.  Are you forcing anti-aliasing?  That is the one parameter which WILL blur the edges of text and there is nothing we can do about it.

This blurring is the same on AMD card then switched to nvidia and same thing.  No, not forcing AA same as in AH2. I did try forcing AA in VR but reset it back to application controlled.  I have tried AA on and off in game settings.

For your screen shoots did you use DX9?

DX11.

Here are two more screenshots.  The game settings are all at default, as are the video driver settings.  This is an AMD 7950 video card.  Those first two I posted had all the graphic options disabled as my work computer is not fast enough to run the game with all the options enabled.

So this is the other end of the spectrum.

Are you sure you are running the game at the native resolution of the monitor?  You do this, even when you are using a VR headset.  Does your screenshots show what you are talking about?

Skuzzy when time permits would you post a P-38J cockpit view?

Here is the P38J.  How about you posting some (ALT-S in the game) screenshots of what you are seeing.

I panned down (Page Down) from the default head position so you can see more of the gauge panel.

Before you do, make sure your video driver settings are at default and then make sure the games anti-alias is disabled (Options->Graphic Detail).
