Hi all,I gave FSX another chance, but once again I could not get the stuttering to stop, so I think I'll be joining you all in FS9 again. Just one question before I do. Is there anything I can do to improve the ground textures at low altitudes, such as on approach? I use GE Pro, but that only helps once I get up to 3-5,000 feet. What can I do below that to make me shelve FSX once and for all?

Uhhmmm, nothing, that's FS9 basically. You could use photo scenery, but it will still look weird at approach, with no or little autogen. I myself am no fan of photographic scenery...
