 *'''-aa''' This flag enables the default antialiasing. Because FSO uses a deferred renderer, hardware-driven AA methods like MSAA cannot be used; the engine includes the well-established FXAA and SMAA post-processing shaders to get antialiasing instead. By default, the "Low" preset of the SMAA shader will be used.
 *'''-aa_preset''' Sets a different antialiasing mode, in case the default is insufficient or is too taxing on the GPU. This parameter takes a numeric argument ranging from 0 to 6. 0-2 correspond to the Low, Medium and High FXAA presets, 3-6 to the Low, Medium, High and Ultra SMAA presets respectively. The impact of these presets, both in terms of performance and in terms of visuals, can be observed in the F3 lab: The number keys 0-6 can be used to switch through the various AA presets on the fly there.

 ===Deprecated Options===
 These options were present in the executable for some time, but have since been removed and deprecated. The engine will throw a non-fatal error when they are found in the commandline. Some of these functions have been removed entirely, others are now part of the standard operation of the engine.
