Fullscreen / Antialiasing/ Trees popping out of nowhere
« on: November 04, 2024, 11:01:19 AM »
Hi there! I've just created an account and I've downloaded the game after not playing for, 15 years or so?

I can't seem to get the thing to go fullscreen, and anti-aliasing, whilst checked on, has no slider or other option. I'm also having trees and tree shadows popping up right next to the aircraft as I'm flying, but I think I have all of the sliders already maxed out.

I appreciate AH3 is an old game, is there any way to tweak things to get a bit more basic functionality out of it, graphics wise?

That sounds very odd. While AH is an old game you can tell by how the game functions as it is kept up to date.

The game automatically works in full screen, it can not be played in "windows mode". Antialiasing can be dependent on your graphics card. Run a DXdiag report and copy and paste the top 30-40 percent of the text version here (the whole thing wont fits in one post as its too big and the important stuff is in the first 30-40% anyway).

Once we see what you are working with we can help you to set things up for your computer.

Does the video setting match your monitor resolution? Try running default settings to start and set environment mapping to none.
