I have setup my FS9 INI file to do away with the preloading feature (in accordance with Christian's "trick" to do this) as it was giving me black squares on startup. And I have used Ed's level mapping numbers for increased res close in -- and I am a happy flier. I have always used FS9 as a "geography lesson" - quite additional to the flying/aircraft aspect of the sim. However with default textures and mesh, it never felt quite right.Now with TP and using 38 metre mesh along the US west coast - it is great ..Thanks ChristianBarry

May i ask if you could point me in the direction of Eds level mapping numbers my scenery is looking like someone has made it from Lego, really blocky.Thanks in advanceDom
