My graphics on LFS really isn't good at all, all the shapes are edgy ( No anti alias ).
So, I've seen some screens and the edges are sooo smooth, but I can't find anything in options that will fix my problem.
I got a pretty decent graphic card Radeon 9800 Pro, and a good computer,
so please Anyone, pimp my grafixxx... :shy:

You'll have to set the AA in your graphics card control panel.
So go to start->settings->control panel->display->somewhere in there (can't remember, using nvidia atm)
Or you could use ati tray tools, which allows you to set up a profile for lfs so you won't have to change settings when you want different setting for other games.

Also there's quite a few options in game too. Max the LOD and I think there's some other stuff. I used to have edgy lines but I changed one of the options and now they are perfect.

Maybe this helps. These are max settings for the gfx options in LFS (Re, mip filter- I forget what this does but I remember that turning it on helps? Could be wrong here). Also, make sure your resolution is set to the highest your monitor will handle- for LCD's typically 1280x1024. Higher settings give you a smoother image, but at the cost of frames per second.

I like ATT (ATI Tray Tools), because it lets you adjust memory timings. Which is good, because my video memory already overheats really easily. So, I can get a few more FPS without overclocking. Although, I still could damage my hardware. It's just an old 9600XT anyway. :thumb:

I think the mip filter was the thing that sorted my edges out. Turned it off. Here's my settings
