Yes you have to redo the textures, if you don't the capitol appears as a solid light grey, shape is right just a grey, from a distance it is there, shows up well, but close up is a washout. still, some might think grey is better than nothing. :(

Here is a small picture of the building I put in for the Devon tower, I am fling to the northeast, downtown airpark in front of me, and the building I placed for the Devon is I thnk from SimmoW's custom Seattle scenery, (Many thnx SimmoW), Of course it isn't the right shape, but it is the tallest building in OKC. :smile:I had to cut this down from a resolution of 3840, so the quality isn't that good, also it was on a 46 inch screen. but perhaps it will show what can be done, took me about 3 minutes to place this building with the Overlay Editor. With practice buildings should be placed rather quickly, the most time spent is probably getting the coordinates of the buildings.

Thread hijacking... How's the image quality on a 46 inches at (I assume) 1920x1080? Can you obtain a good image quality (no jaggies, no blur) if you use high anti aliasing values?

"Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".

Yup, if you crank up the effects you can get a very pretty look. Incidentally, to the OP, when XP10 arrives, tweak it by downloading the installer/updater. I had to do that to get the X-Aviation DC-3 to install and work, and the developers recommend installing the program via that updater as well.Al

Yes its 1920x1080 and the jaggies are of course more noticeable, I do use AA now whereas on a 24 inch monitor I never bothered. With HDR on and FXAA the jaggies are still noticable, but not excessive in my view. 4xSSAA quad is better, of course FPS takes a good hit, on my system 20FPS is about all I can get. The picture above is in HDR and 4xSSAA quad rendering. Of course I know that some people cannot tolerate any jaggies whatsoever. I can use no HDR and 16x screen AA and get acceptable FPS around 30-35 around Oklahoma City. Still there are some jaggies, but for me at least they are tolerable. The shimmering in the scenery is a lot more noticeable though, before I got this 46 inch monitor I hardly knew there was shimmering in the scenery, so was a bit disappointed at first, I guess I got used to it, or at least as I go on the shimmering isn't quite so pronounced. I don't know if the tweaking is getting better, or if I am just getting use to it. :( I usually use HDR with FXAA the small jaggies I get are tolerable and the instruments in most panels are a lot easier to read, especially panels that have reflections built into the glass and I still can get nearly 30 FPS

I noticed the shimering effect in the scenery, once I started using HDR. With HDR off, there is no shimering at all on my 27" 1920*1080 monitor. I deceided HDR was not really worth it, so I turn it off during the day, but for night flying I use it, since I love the lighting effects on the roads and airport terminals and at night/dusk/dawn. I dont notice the shimering at night.Rob

Hello Rob,On this big monitor I get shimmering whether HDR is on or not, I'm rather ambivalent about HDR, at first I didn't use it as I wanted FPS as fast as I could, but after using it, I really liked the haze effect, it was so much like the haze I usually have here in the Oklahoma, North Texas area of the world. and the visibility looked to be closer to what we have here. Sometimes i use it, sometimes not. I usually don't fly at night, I prefer daytime, most of the time. Never say never though. :smile:Edit: I stand corrected Rob, I just did another trial run with HDR off, and did indeed see a great reduction in the shimmering effect, on the 46" monitor.If this holds true, i will have to not use HDR most of the time, the plus side to this is not only the shimmering decreases, but an increase in the FPS too. Thanks for getting me to try HDR off again, I must have thought that I had HDR off, but apparently didn't. LOL
