I got hooked on TWG after buying a 2004 last year actually. Really hooked on designing. I realized that there arent many people who still design with 2004 architect, so I got 2006. I have found that on my PC, the courses lack visual detail, textures all seem incredibly bright (too bright). I gotta figure I am not doing something right. Do I need a different graphics card for 2006 (that may not be as needed on 2004)? Is is something simple with the graphics setup? - I have tried to adjust the setup as much as possible and doesnt seem to help.

Standard on-board graphics for IBM ThinkCentre PC. Is there a suitable aftermarket graphics cards that seems to work best with 2006. Hershel, I think the more suitable comment would be opinions are like armpits. everyone has 2 of them and they both stink. Obviously, based on your differing comments, the graphics cards DOES make a difference, that is why I am asking - not to be insulted, but to learn |

Thanks everyone, especially Hershel. Looks like a trip to Best Buy is in my near future. I got what I think is a really cool course layout but I am hesitant to upload it until I can see what it should look like with the same graphics that everyone else will use. My onboard looks all washed out - all textures too bright, and all trees too dark. |

Tigerplank AND Herschel Dirtwater, dont take your comments toward each other into another thread. You have already been warned in another post. Take it somewhere else!

Man, what a difference. Just put in a 256MB gfx card and I feel like I have a brand new version of TWG. Thanks for the advice Hershel, now I see how much more smoothing/adjusting, etc I need to do. A couple weird things - like my stock trees are multicolored (rainbow colors actually, quite psychadelic - sp?), but I am sure I can dig around and figure out why |
