Christian, The max dl speed I can get is 500K with satellite (which is pretty expensive). If I get a quad core CPU and Geforce 8800GT, would I get descent performance so the high resolution textures can load?Jason

uh well there is no limit in resolution really, it's mostly that you will have a limited speed at which you can fly without getting the blurries. And of course the initial loading phase will take a bit longer.Reduce your connection settings in the INI file to something like this. Because with default settings you will run into time-outs:module-config="conn=10|rate=0.5|...If you want to reduce your overall resolution, change the max_lod setting from 15 to 14 (2.3m/pixel) or 13 (4.75m/pixel)Christian
