Hello everybody,Well, tweak tweak tweak... The terrain textures were blurry, slow loading both in FS2002 and FS2004. And never changes to the former FS2002.gfg or Fs9.cfg bios or Graphic card settings made a quantum leap difference. Until now. Try out this changes in the FS9.cfg :[DISPLAY]UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=32TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=400[TERRAIN]TERRAIN_ERROR_FACTOR=100.000000TERRAIN_MIN_DEM_AREA=10.000000TERRAIN_MAX_DEM_AREA=1000.000000TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=19TERRAIN_TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=8TERRAIN_AUTOGEN_DENSITY=1TERRAIN_USE_GRADIENT_MAP=1TERRAIN_EXTENDED_TEXTURES=1TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=9.5000000TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=9.500000TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=1[sCENERY]IMAGE_COMPLEXITY=4DYNAMIC_SCENERY=0DYN_SCN_DENSITY=0DAWN_DUSK_SMOOTHING=1SUNGLARE=1LENSFLARE=1With my configuration, it makes the difference like iron and gold!The terrain textures load very quickly, almost immediately, and they never blur, and I keep almost everywhwe 30 fps, running FS 2004 in 1600x1200x32, weather visibility 120 KM. Graphic card settings AA 2qX and Aniso 2X.For more details have a look at my fs9.cfg wich I enclose with this message.My Hardware:Mainboard ASUS P4 C - 800 Deluxe Bios 1008Pentium 4 C - 800 3.0 Ghz2048 MB RAM Corsair XMS (4 x 512MB DDR, 400MHz, CL2)Graphics card Nvidia GF FX 5900 Ultra 256 MB Drivers 52.16Windows XP Professional English SP 1aGreetings,AC5

The item which makes the most difference is this one:TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=400A large value can increase the speed of texture loading, but can also tax slower systems. OTH, I have a slower system, and I've used this setting for a long time with no issues. As to the other settings, I've never noticed much of a difference tweaking these values below, then again I use a screen res that probably wouldn't show the improvement that has been well documented by Paul:TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=9.5000000TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=9.500000But what I can tell you is those values can tax lower memory systems if adjusted from their defaults. If you have 98/ME and <384 Megs of RAM, or XP/2000 and <512 Megs of RAM, I suggest leaving them at their defaults.-John
