My Horizon is broken... I think

Featured Replies

hmmmph.... seems you can't use the square brackets which are in the fs9.cfg file in a post... I'm refering to :DISPLAYTableFog=0regards,PJ

I have a NVIDIA card, Ti4200 and I'm having the exact same problem. Do you think that tablefog flag on the fs9.cfg might help?I'll have to try that when I get at home.

hmm, i tried that, with no results... could you post a screenshot from about 30,000 feet for us to see?Thanks.

Hello there!I just noticed now your post. Concerning exactly the SAME thing, I've been writing with MS in last couple of days.They first tried convincing me that it's 3rd party addon issue, then I showed them it's notThen they tried convincing me that it's Radeon driver issue. Then I showed them it's not.They really like to blame other people, but trust me on one thing: this is pure limitation of the Flight Simulator.There *might* be a settings for this, but I've went through hell and fire trying to figure which one might be (searched different .cfg file, ran FSim in Safe mode, etc etc etc).If you go into Ctrl+S view (Top-Down), and select from View Options 810 miles, you will clearly see a big cross. That's maximum rendering range. It's possible to extend it - with extended textures option. And that's it. No fs9.cfg file setting will have any effect on this cross. Fs9.cfg only affects what happens INSIDE of the cross.So I have written MS to repair this fluke, or tell me how to repair it. Or should I say, as a customer, I require of them to repair this, since it is killing my flight simming, as I usually fly at 35,000ft-40,000ft, and this gets veeeery disturbing and very noticable.They said, that they will be investigating. I will hassle them again after Xmas.Word Not Allowed

Some of it depends on settings such as time of day and date--different templates of blending the sky colors are used based on the date. Also, something that can really throw it off is the thickness of the vis. layer. When I fly at altitude, I always cap off the vis layer higher than my flight level.One barrier to this seems to be water, regardless of vis. These two threads I posted (most shots have the vis down to 50 miles) show the best and the worst of horizon blending:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...ing_type=searchhttp://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...ing_type=search

Nice job Word Not Allowed,what e-mail address are you using? If you want, i will send them a request as well. It's really kind of intolerable, i think. As someone who likes GA, but regularly flies above 10,000 feet, this is kind of ridiculous.Spiffae

Yup: I can get any horizon by varying the temperature gap. The clouds are Chris Willis's.My horizon is 2002 was always realistic - hazy, indistinct - just like in real life. When I moved to fs9 I had only a clear, sharp, hard line. No fuzziness whatsoever. I almost went back until I asked the same question you asked. Do a search on "TableFog"Hope this helps.. PJ

I can't really see if you've got what i'm looking for in that shot. here is what happens in the scenario you suggest for me.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/53618.jpgThe horizon is fuzzy and indistinct, yes. But the ground cuts off at 20 miles from the ground location of the plane (that's the straight line you see there. That's where the game has stopped rendering the water, and after that, it's just sky. I want a horizon that is there at full visibility, not just a hazy 20 mile day.Even the 20 mile visibilty still makes a hard line for me, it's just much further from the horizon.

Well, it seems to me that I'm not the only one who was replicating this problem. My suggestion would be that we ALL start harrasing MS about this issue, and my guess is only they will fix it at some point.Trouble is only, someone told me, that it's Microsoft company policy not to issue patches. Who knows...it's worth a try.If you want to contact them, just write them a letter to support over MS Site: go to Site Map, Contact MS Support, where you're from, then "Submit a Request for Online Help" and then just follow the links.Describe as MUCH as possible. That you've done this and that, that's it not a driver, but you're noticing when flying high etc etc etc...All possible details for them, to speed up the thing, and reject all other possible explanation except that it's FS alone.Check also my post which was mentioned above. And here I discussed it too:http://www.visualflight.co.uk/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1242Word Not Allowed

I give up. someday, someone will fixt this problem, but for now, it's just a limitation of FS9.Thanks for the help everyone.
