AA question

[icecold1983]

u can see in the circled areas that it seems like aa just isnt working, what causes this? is it the sample pattern? and if so why do other edges at a similar angle get AA'd just fine?

Really hard to judge in such a poor quality screenshot. Post a .png file or at least do compress the jpeg as strongly.

you can see it on the support beams to the right

What videocard are you using?

TrackMania engine have a lot of "specular" aliasing, which is not covered by the MSAA sampling, though.

Try to force some SSAA mixed mode, if you have high-class 7900 board.

Try enabling Transparency AA (or Adaptive AA in case of ATI cards) and see if it makes any difference (I didn't check the screenshots, but if they're using alpha textures for fences and such, they're not covered by MSAA)

edit:
I checked the 2nd picture.

What you're seeing there is, in my opinion, caused by the sampling pattern used by the AA method, ATI and nVidia use mirrored patterns, one is really good on objects leaning one way, the other is really good on ones leaning the other way. In this case, if that scene was mirrored, the AA quality should be great (as can be seen from rest of the scene), so there's pretty much nothing you can do about it.
