Not alot of info on it that I can find...I have a full hd compatable monitor that has a resolution of 1920 x 1080...I also have an I7 quad core 2600k 3.4 gig processor with six gigs of ram and a GTX 680 2 meg nvidia card. I am merely looking for info how to get that wonderful HD look to my sim. cfg is currently set to 4096 texture resolution and I am not sure if I am seeing it full HD or not.

How are you feeding your monitor?

You'll need HDMI cabling.

DVI or Display Port are just as fine. Actually, normal analog VGA connector can feed resolutions far over the "FullHD" level. Only problem with VGA may be with some HDCP content and of course, picture isn't as good with analogue VGA than it is with its digital counterparts.

To improve the looks of the sim to "HD level" you usually need some addons to give improved textures to sim. Real Environment Extreme has great selection of high resolution cloud and water textures. For scenery ORBX stuff and many other scenery sets improve overall look tremendously. If you like photogen, MegaSceneryEarth 2.0 offers nice detail for USA.
