Hello everyoneI am having a strange problem with ground textures. In order to reduce possible culprits I installed FSX on another drive which has never had the sim installed on it. I am seeing this in all parts of the world.Thanks for looking.......chik

Hi there,not an issue on your side as those are the default blending masks that create this "fractal" effect. You can reduce the odd patterns by setting your texture resolution slider to 1m or 2m but then you'll lose detail in the vector textures, like shorelines and roads. The only remedy is to use an add-on that includes more appropriate versions of the blending masks; ORBX does, as well as GEX to some extent, and there may be others.Cheers, Holger

Hi Holger I couldn't have asked for anyone more qualified to look into this but.................................................................................................................... :( are you sure this is the case and that masking the problem with add-ons or turning down the resolution are my only choices? I recently bought new hardware as well as a new 37" Lg screen 1920X1280 just for the sole purpose of seeing more detail. I never really noticed it until the past few days. I tried setting the texture resolution to 1m, OMG! LOL, it's awefull! Thanks H
