Hello Dilloll0I tried your recomendations but found that things worked just the opposite for me. Flying with REX was like playing checkers, jumping from square to square. And for what its worth I have never seen such terrible water reflections as those in REX. And I think that REX is one of the worst addons I have ever purchased so far. Does anyone else have those feelings??

Not in the slightest, no.

Please post proof shots that show there is a visible change between having those two values at 4 and 40/60. Because I can't see any. And yes, I have already posted a long time ago proof-shots of no change...

Nope, not the slightest too. A very good addon, very satisfied by it. You have to find the settings YOU prefer.

I found this in the thread I pulled the other values from. This should settle the debate:[DISPLAY] UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=0 TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=400 [TERRAIN]TERRAIN_ERROR_FACTOR=100.000000 TERRAIN_MIN_DEM_AREA=10.000000 TERRAIN_MAX_DEM_AREA=100.000000 TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=21 TERRAIN_TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=8 TERRAIN_AUTOGEN_DENSITY=2 TERRAIN_USE_GRADIENT_MAP=1 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_TEXTURES=1 TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=9.500000 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=3.900000 -- this value can go to 9.9 but test to see what your system can handle. TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=3

Nope.I think you might be doing something wrong. :(

Nope, sorry. REX is probably one of the best environment add-ons I have ever bought for FS.

+2 You are doing something very wrong if you think it's the worst addon.I see no difference with your settings, as already said anything over 4 does absolutely nothing.

During my seven years with MS Flight Simulator and trying it all, I have come to a conclusion that these "config tweaks" are 99% of the time system specific or placebo.Sorry to say but you will not automatically see crystal clear textures to the horizon from your complex addon airliner cockpit by changing a value in the config, if your computer is just not up to it.

In FSUIPC (which most of us use) you have visibility options that allow you to restrict how far you can see. Many including myself use this to mask the detailed square that follows us as we fly along in FS. It's not that noticeable on the ground but at higher altitudes you can see past the detailed area and find mud in the distance. The area where this really looks bad is when flying over areas like the south west United States say Arizona and/or New Mexico. Winter is better masked as everything is white anyway.Activesky Advanced also has this option available when loading it's weather as to how far out you want the haze layer to be. You are right this is not an FS9 setting but rather something that can be set through external means. FS9 default at this point is an ugly experience without the niceties that's been afforded to us with things like FSUIPC and Activesky. FS9 without haze looks terrible period and has often been used to make the case to move over to FSX (in which some of us had to debunk).

Les,Thank you for starting this very interesting thread. I am following it with much interest and I am trying to tweak my settings to get something that you have described. I would very much appreciate if you could share some screenshots of your FSUIPC- and AS settings for haze etc. I have the programs and I see the screens but I'm afraid I cannot exactly replicate your settings.Thanks in advance.Best regards, Eric

These values should give users a better experience than the other set of values that were posted!!

If by "worst" you mean "best" then I totally agree. :(

Wow, it's amazing some of you aren't seeing any improvement in how far the detailed textures reach out in the distance. When I get home I'll post some screenshots as to what I'm getting after this tweak.

I've definitley seen improvments using those settings. Thanks dilloll0

Rather than screenshots I would like to see some actual testing to disprove the findings from here:http://www.germany-vfr.de/Jobia/lcdokupdf/lcdokupdf.zipHe did a lot of work with test textures and mesh. scott s..
