MigBuster 2,884 Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) can you post a screen shot? you are never going to get great graphics with this sim - the graphics engine has only been improved on since 1998 - hasnt been revamped though Are they anything like these? http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5831 If you have the graphics bumped to max - increase your Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering in your Graphics cards advanced settings Edited December 1, 2008 by MigBuster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 451 Posted December 3, 2008 Yes, F4:AF has graphics little altered from the original 1998 F4 release. OF/RV/FF have had their graphics updated quite a bit more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jomni 6 Posted June 15, 2009 Is it only me or the detail settings can only be raised to 5 or 7? 3D models aside form your plane has very low polygon count. Even vehicles are just blocks. Anyway, it's an old game anyway so I'm not really complaining but I would like to know if it can be improved (talking about Falcon4 AF). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cali 6 Posted June 15, 2009 You have to remember when this game was made, over 10 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jomni 6 Posted June 15, 2009 You have to remember when this game was made, over 10 years ago. I know. But what's bugging me is the screenshots in the box look way better than actual. Is it just a case of rendered / edited graphics instead of in-game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted June 15, 2009 Some things look better than others. The F-16s should look very good, although without fancy shaders for lighting and such we're used to now. The F-4Es I recall look particularly poor. Vehicles however shouldn't be just blocks, although they're not that far removed really. One thing the game DOES do, though, is take its time drawing an object. If you lock onto a SAM for instance, then switch to an external view of the SAM looking at you, it will first draw it like a block then slowly increase the detail as you wait.

MigBuster 2,884 Posted June 15, 2009 I know. But what's bugging me is the screenshots in the box look way better than actual. Is it just a case of rendered / edited graphics instead of in-game? V high screen resolution and good hardware+ and over use of the zoom it looks like - the 2D cockpits looked ace anyway. Try altering the AA and AF on your graphics card - and get the hitiles terrain - and even try other skins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
