Low level speed feeling.

Featured Replies

Is there any software that gives us a better feeling of speed when hugging terrain.Zooming all the way out helps but planes still feel too darn slow at very low altitude.

High autogen settings, good textures, camera zoom, and WideViewAspect=True are the only ways to get a feeling of peripheral vision.Open your fsx.cfg and find the entry "WideViewAspect=". Change "False" to "True". Of course you should only do this if you're using a widescreen monitor.

WideViewAspect helps. The feeling of speed also gets better on a bigger monitor. I use a 40" LCD TV. The sense of speed is actally quite realistic. In real life you tend to get increasing tunnel vision as speed increases and you need to focus further away.

How do you like you LCD??I don't wanna lose any quality or DPI with FSX by stretching it that big.

On my 1080P 52' Samsung, it looks FANTASTIC. Thing is I rarely feel the urge to tote my 40lb PC and tons of peripherals down stairs to the living room...

What size is your detail.bmp?This file is tiled all over the ground textures.FSX comes with a 256x256 texture but you can download up to 1024x1024 in the AVSIM library. Using the higher detailed texture makes the ground look more detailed and thus helps improve the illusion of speed.

I have it side by side with a Dell Ultrasharp 30" which has a lot higher resolution. I prefer the 40" for FSX. I just find bigger more immersive, although the overall image quality is lower.

How do you know what the look of speed should be? what airplanes have you flown in?
I was a 1A7X1 in the Air Force for six years.Also got the opportunity to take a ride in an F16F and he did some nice low terrain passes.Either way that's beside the point!
