All I can say is AWESOME Dan, so you are only using 1024x768 and forced AA & AF to the max! don't know of any other "GFX Card maxed" settings. but going to give it a try, are you using d3d9.dll!

Thanks.

Nope, out of the box GWX.

What? You were expecting a sub?

Reece · 05-04-07, 06:38 AM

With forced AA set to 6x & AF to 16x it still is nothing like your picture, do you know what to set "Wait for Vertical Sync", "Trueform" & "Temporal Anti-Aliasing" to?

LMAO - Did you miss this bit Reece.:rotfl:

Turn V-Sync off (unless you get image tearing), turn Truform on & Put Temporal AA to x3. However the most important bit is quoted above.

@ Sailor Steve: I installed Desktop Randomizer but after many atempts fail to get it to change screens automatically, have ticked randomize wallpapers & ticked every 5 minutes, icon appears on taskbar, do you know what is wrong?

Thanks.

i installed it to.
i made it change my screenshots every 15 minutes.
but you have to choose minimum 2 picts.

i choose all my SH3 picts

Reece · 05-04-07, 08:57 AM

Hi Kaleu. Jochen Mohr, I have 30 SH3 BMP pictures, if I double click the taskbar icon it changes pictures & sometimes it changes automatically, sometimes in 1 minute other times maybe in 2 hours, I don't think it likes zonealarm running and won't kick-in!

Dan - thanks, I was hoping it was just a little of PS & mostly settings!

mr chris · 05-04-07, 12:08 PM

Yes matey thats the one

Could not for the life of me get it to select any pictures.

Kaleu. Jochen Mohr · 05-04-07, 07:10 PM

i did it like this

disabled the screensaver option and put the time thingy to 15 minutes

Reece · 05-04-07, 08:08 PM

Hi again Kaleu. Jochen Mohr, I gave up with the randomizer, the fact is that it doesn't work with other things running in the background such as zonealarm, music players etc.
Anyway I just wanted to point out from your picture of the VIIb that you have the iron bar sticking up at the bow, there is a fix for this: "Bow Fix Type VIIB.rar" and on the VIIC you may need the fix if the wires at the stern of the boat do not meet the 2 supports properly: "Cable_Fix_Type_VIIC.rar", if you can't find them & you want them let me know & I will upload them, both mods were done by flakwalker some time ago.
