-In the graphic settings you can adjust the overall quality of how Aerofly FS 2 looks. Adjusting graphics settings provides you with the ability to balance performance and graphics quality. +In the graphics settings you can choose your preference for graphics rendering, your resolution and VSync settings, and toggle whether you wish to see lens flare while flying. 
-Open the graphics settings from the main menu by clicking on “Settings” and “Graphics Settings”. **Note** - If you experience poor performance or graphical anomalies, always check to make sure you have the latest GPU (Graphics Card) driver installed.   +**Note** the Vulkan rendering system is still in beta so it's up to you to choose which option works best for you. In general you should see anywhere from 5-15% performance increase in certain configurations.

 +**Vulkan**
 +
 +{{:manual:vulkan_aa.jpg?600|}}
 +
 +Vulkan rendering is a new beta graphics rendering engine that has potential to increase performance by 5-15% over OpenGL rendering. Choosing this option will unlock the High Quality Anti-aliasing option. This option will provide better management over jagged edges and flickering objects. 
 +Using high Quality Anti-aliasing may reduce performance in certain configurations.
 +
 +Use the Vulkan rendering option and High Quality Anti-aliasing with the understanding that these settings are currently in beta.
