For Ati user, use icon Posted Imagefor Catalyst Control Center and you may able to change it at Gaming > 3D > Application Settings.

I hope this might help some flight simulator users.

Alert:
This is totally at your own risk.
Im not responsible for any such of damage on your hardware or software or any damages to your fs2004 folder.

If you have frame drops at 32xS settings for AA, you may also try 16xS. If you still have problems, choose 8xS.

Ground Environment Pro & Ultimate Terrain.

Ground Environment Pro don't have effect on your FPS, but with Ultimate terrain make sure you turn off night lights when you fly during the day.

Very nice, it's good to see Fs2004 still alive and kicking!

What add-on gives you those nice city lights? EDIT: I assume those are from Ultimate Terrain.
