blurry textures with gtx580

[tam210 0]

after spending the full weekend getting all my fsx addons installed and my ftx australia and pmdg747 went to do a flight and as soon as im off the ground the textures are blurry like a water painting from say 0.5miles its starting to really annoy me as i have went and spent all this on my new pc and im still having graphics issuesi have checked with nvidia inspector and my gfx card is only using 400+mb so its not like ts ran out of memory as its hardly being utilizedhow do i fix this thanks hayden walker ps.currently running latest nvidia 266 drivers

Well, I don´t know why it doesn´t do what it shoud do. But I have a question: You are using the CPU and MOBO I´m going to get in a few months so could you tell me how it performs?

Yep - you have everything wound up as high as you can get them. Set them all back to 75%, read the above instructions, using Nvidia Inspector (not the default Nvidia panel)- then apply the graphics settings to the OS, then read about and apply Bojote's cfg automatic tweaks (below) and THEN you'll be a happy camper!http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html

still no luck it was fine the other night i think it was thursday i even tried my megascenery x las vegas and it was having the same problem but i checked this when i first installed it and it was perfectly crisp and sharp no blurries im just currently reformatting my drive and doing a clean install so basically that has been a weekend wasted not to happy with fsx spent £1700 and tweak it and it works perfect for one night and then your back to square one the next

Just a idea for the future: Your posts are a bit hard to read so could you please use punctuation marks?Did you defragmetate your HDD after you installed all you FSX stuff?The blurries could be caused due to the loadimng time for various textures.

i did try defragging earlier i will try that now just finished installing everything after reformatting the HD so far (same problem) blurried textures dont understand it it was fine the other nite for ages then i turned pc off and now all i get is blurred scenery what a joke this game is its the most utterly poor programming i have ever experienced in my world things either work or dont work not work sometimes then not the other mea really im not playing this on some £100 pound pc its a gaming computer that can play anything i can think of chucking at it why is fsx so baddly utilised?i will keep trying but im starting to feel robbed i have watched vids of people with same setup as me and im the only one thats experiencing these issues ive done the bojote tweaks etc and still no joy ive tried mucking about with fsx AA and nvidia inspector and still its blurred mean there must be some way to fix the blurry textures it wasnt like this the another nite and ive got the fps locked at 30 with bojotes frame limiter and it is always holding between 24fps and 32fps with my pmdg,rex,ftx australiaheres a picture to show the problem can someone please tell me whats going on or troubleshoot with me i just want to fly :( :(

Fix this really quick.Add the Fiber Fraction tweak to your FSX.cfg. Default value is .33, make it 60 and your blurries will be gone, and work with the FTF tweak itfix everything for me!

can someone please tell me whats going on or troubleshoot with me i just want to fly :( :(

First thing I would do, is to limit your framerates within FSX, say to 30.Work from there...With unlimited framerates set, anything can happen - especially when you are applying tweaks.

i have tried liimiting my frames to 30fps not unlimited in fsx and i see no diffrence i think this is a problem with fsx files as my pc isnt struggling to run fsx its holding the fps at 30fps and im only using about 300-400mb of my 1.5gb of video memory aswell so theres plenty of room for the textures to be loaded in which isnt happening.thanks// This file was tweaked on Mar 20, 2011 at 21:45 GMT

It looks like there's no anisotropic filtering there.How have you configured you GTX580? nVidia Inspector? if so can you post a screen shot of your FSX profile?
