Even after rolling back to 1.3.7, I was still having issues with the SMAA not turning off, making the gauges in the VC look slightly blurry. However, I think I might have found a fix.

 

Hello i made sweetfx 1.4 install today and i notice sweetfx is applying antialiasing automaticly i didnt even tick on it? im only trying to activate Vibrance with 0.15 setting but its adding aa too? i turned off fxaa (wich was im using) ect ect both on inspector and nvidia control panel and untick at game screen also... i even unticking vibrance but its keeps adding aa when a reload and cycle to on/off with sweet fx?

im using SweetFX-Configurator_standalone_1.3.3 to control sweetfx parameters...

 

Try enabling SMAA in the SweetFX_settings file, and then using these settings...

#define SMAA_THRESHOLD 0.50           //[0.05 to 0.20] Edge detection threshold. If SMAA misses some edges try lowering this slightly. I prefer between 0.08 and 0.12.
#define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS 0      //[0 to 98] Determines the radius SMAA will search for aliased edges
#define SMAA_MAX_SEARCH_STEPS_DIAG 0  //[0 to 16] Determines the radius SMAA will search for diagonal aliased edges
#define SMAA_CORNER_ROUNDING 0        //[0 to 100] Determines the percent of antialiasing to apply to corners. 0 seems to affect fine text the least so it's the default.

That seems to disable the effect.

What do you mean by this wouldn't you just copy and paste your text you posted ?

I wasn't sure where SweetFX was grabbing whatever SMAA settings it was "forcing" upon me. I was afraid it was pulling it from one of the SMAA presets found in the SMAA.h file, so to be safe I kept it enabled to make it is using my custom settings, which basically has it turned off. :P

There is an .exe and will install a folder into X:\Program Files (x86) once you have pointed the utility to the FSX.exe you can load a really nice preset for FSX.  It can be found in X:\Program Files (x86)\FlightFX\FX\SweetFX\Presets, the file is called SweetFX-fsx_settings.txt

 

I am trying to find the right balance of SMAA as I have just begun to use a 40" LED as a display.

Has anyone tried SweetFX SMAA only and AA disabled in Nvidia Inspector, I find there is way too much pixelation when both are active.

Hmmm... my suspicion is the Nvidia 31x -series driver, Brian, but I'm not sure. As mentioned elsewhere - I rolled back to 314.07, then 310.7 and then reconsidered and went down further to the highest I had below the 310's, as these were never a problem, pretty stable. The post 310 are coming out every two to three weeks, it seems...

 

I 'think' its now fixed, I'm sure by posting this it will now decide to crash on me again but after uninstalling windows update KB2670838 it seems to be ok. I've been able to conclude a couple of 2-3 hr flights without a problem. Prior to uninstalling the update it would crash every time within a 30min period, so fingers crossed.

 

I found the fix somewhere on the Internet which was unrelated to fsx and can't for the life of me remember where!

Thank you guys and thank´s god I found this thread ! Uninstalled the KB2670838 update and ~5 hours flying w/o ctd ! -) Yet I was thinking about re-installing FSX (week of work, pffff) !
