All,If this was possible, I'm sure the "performance" would go down but my machine should handle that issue. Is there a way to REMOVE all of the lower mip-map textures so when FS2004 goes to render a blurry texrure (low mip map), it can't?Tim

I'd say no. The thing is, the sim won't load when certain textures have an incorrect format or when mip maps are missing - I know from experience that when the oceanheightfield has an incorrect number of mips, the sim will crash. If I understand correctly, you'd like to remove only the lowest resolution mips, so there'd be like 2 mip maps in addition to the original texture, am I correct? If this did work, it would at least give you some additional stutters whenever a texture loads the first time (thus, the "first" mip map), as it is considerably larger than normal.-Daniel

Hi, "If this was possible, I'm sure the "performance" would go down but my machine should handle that issue.

Msfs ground engine render the lower mip map to the highest mip maps: lower 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 higher (pop ups mode in a cross area rendering system)
