Alternative to Antialiasing

Tried it and it works fine for me. Age of Conan already supports this so no reason why it couldn't be officially implemented. I'm sure the people at Maddox are already looking into it.

Like Lobi says, it's not cheating (which is the main purpose of VAC) - but simply applies a different AA Visual post processing effect in place of the AA provided.

Hopefully common sense will prevail and I (and others) won't get banned. It would be ridiculous to impose a penalty for removing jaggies less effectively than the in built option yet allow visual mods in the form of custom skins which everyone considers essential to a combat flight. Some of the custom skins I have seen make it very difficult to spot that particular ac low down on the deck.

Yes. Like in ArmA2 you can have mod folders or other files in main folder. What you can't do is ALTER main files with cheats.

In other titles that's the way VAC works. I'll use FXAA online to test. If something wrong happens, just need to send an email to Valve explaining the issues. VAC bans usually have very precise cheat reports, just check Valve foruns.

First - make sure you used the correct DX version files - DX10 or DX9 only (not both). If launcher is booting without the three FXAA files in the Launcher directory my advice is to leave them out!

Do you mean system files or the FXAA ones?

FXAA files- I am pretty sure I am using only the DX10 ones since those are the only ones I have unzipped to the IL-2 steam folder.

System files - I guess I have both of them because I run some older DX9 games.

As soon as remove the FXAA files, the game boots normally. Too bad because I wanted to check it out...
