HiI have a AMD 2200+ with a GF2MX400 now with Detonator 29.42 and my FS has a BIG problem, I tried all the configurations in FS but nothing had sucess... The texture is Ok, I click with the right button of the mouse to open the mini menu, when it closes the textures become perfect, amazing but some time later they get horrible, I

Hi, You can tweak some value but your 3d video card is the problems,all your screen is blurry from the sky to the ground . I don't recommend to run fs2004 anything below 128 MB 3d video cards. DX 8.1Under fs9.cfg -Improved ground TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=9.500000 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=4.50000 Anosotropy 4x.ThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFs

Thank you for the try but the problem still :((I want too a 128MB video card but here in Brazil a good one still expensive so I have to use this one.My GF2 only have Anosotropy until 2X..[ ]

Hi Alexis, You can reduce details in fs2004 to help the rendering processing, such as autogen, scenery, mesh, ai traffic to lower setting. You can orders 3d card from the Internet too. ThanksChris Willis[link:fsw.simflight.com/FSWMenuFsSim.html]Clouds And Addons For MsFs

I left my FPs in unlimited, any problem?I wish to can buy 3d cards from the internet without duty but if you buy the price will be +/- 2 times more expensive than the original price of the card so it

Since your card is only 32 megs, you just can't do the things in FS2004 that you would want to. You need to:Turn off AFTurn off AATurn off Extended Terrain TexturesTurn off Terrain DetailTurn off AutogenTurn off AIEverything I have listed is taking texture memory from your video card. If you want clearer ground textures, you have to turn these things off...-John

Besides what others have suggested make sure in your driver menu under "direct3d" that you are choosing "best image quality" not performance as "performance" modes use a lowerd mipmap level or Level Of Detail (LOD). with 32mb of vram you can with most settings turned up just fine in the sim but as for the card:1.Run at a low screen resolution2.Use 16bit color only.3.Do not use any Antialiasing (you can try 2x but yer pushing it)

At the risk of contradicting some of what has been said above, I use two GeForce MX cards in my rig, one of which is exactly what you have. Although this card does not run the DirectX 8 stuff like the fancy new water textures, it is pretty good for most of the standard things - and, in fact, is BETTER than later cards for aircraft glass window reflections. GeForce 4 and later hardly show the detail of this in FS2004.Why I write is that my card gives me poor frame rates, yes; but it does not give me bad textures, given a little tweaking in the sim. Sure, occasionally, everything goes blurry as it tries to catch up, but generally I don't have too many difficulties. So in my own view you shouldn't feel you have to disable all the things that others are suggesting (you may as well go back to FS2002 if you do) but, importantly, you SHOULD disable Anti aliasing and set that using your driver software, not within the sim. That will really be slowing things down if you have it checked in the sim. Try that; and then I think you'll find things are better and you will be able to keep standard autogen, some clouds, normal default texture settings, etc.Mark "Dark Moment" BeaumontP.S. I use the latest 52.16 drivers from Nvidia and 44.03 for my stereo glasses.http://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg

I am surprised on one commented on framerate settings. You can unload a lot of CPU work if you drop framerates down to the minimum number you can live with, then add a couple. I used to fly at 14fps on my older 700MHz machine because 12 was my threshold minimum for smooth display. Your minimum may be higher depending on your screen resolution, monitor refresh rate, etc. Lower your display resolution to 1024x768 or less. Your computer cannot keep up with high framerates and graphics displays all at once, so lower framerate demands.MDavis
