Title: Jerk
Post by: muggs65 on May 04, 2004, 03:43:48 PM
Got a friend...new computer...Radeon 9800 vid card.  When he takes off in a plane, the screen is in a constant jerking motion.  He wants to leave Warbirds but can't stand the jerking.  Don't blame him, I couldn't fly like that either.  Anyone know why this might be happening?   Thanks,  muggs65

Right click desktop to get display settings.
Settings tab, advanced, disable mipmapping(probably under d3d), apply.

Every card/hardware setup seems to have a mind of it's own... :)

I have found these video settings work best for AH with my ATI card in display property settings:

Under Direct3D: Custom settings checked
Anisotropic Filtering: Application Preference (AP) checked
Smoothvision: AP / performance checked

Texture Pref: Quality slider
Mipmap Detail: Quality slider
Wait for Vsynch: Always Off slider
TRUFORM: AP checked

Under compatibility button at bottom:
32-bit Z-buffer: Disable
Alpha dithering: Ordered
Support DXT texture: Disable
Alternate pixil center: Disable

(important) In 1st splash screen of game, go to video settings and check to limit fps to 60. Things should be smooth as silk.

For me, AH at 1024 x 768 with an ATI card looks awful. I have found the more I push an ATI card, the better the performance. I have set desktop and game to 1280 x 1024 and the game looks great and frame rates are solid 60 fps.

I have an ATI 8500 (128MB) with an AMD 2600+XP.

Good luck!
