Hello there,

 

I have been reading quite a bit about blurry textures in FSX, and I have used Word Not Allowed's guide to setup FSX at the beginning, however I have decided to post this topic, as every system works differently, and I guess sometimes you need different solutions for different setups. The blurries are very annoying, it often happens when I move the aircraft by large distances across the world, for example on slew mode. On the picture below, I only moved out 2-3 miles out of EGGP, and this is what I am getting. And thanks to the amazing FSX, the standards aren't set typically high, because I have to wait a minute or two for the blurries to generate to a proper mesh. Is there anyway I can get rid of this?

 

I have used Bojote's tweaking tool too, could this have any effect on the graphics? I have also used the fiber time fraction setting, currently it is set at 0.33. I guess it should reduce the blurries but it isn't doing a lot.

 

The setup of my computer is included in my signature if anyone needs it, here's the picture of the blurred mesh:

Anyone please? :blush:

If you are slewing around this will always happen no matter what system you have. When you slew just don't unpause it until the textures have caught up by way of becoming crisp again.

 

Getting blurries while flying is one thing and of course very annoying but don't complain about it happening with slew because it will.

Okay, I see, I thought high-end systems aren't supposed to do this, but I guess I'll have to settle with it. The blurries however consist and generate slowly when I fly too, recently I approached Belfast Aldergrove, and although the mesh and the autogen generated in front of the runway and around the addon scenery, it was still a little bit blurred. Is there a way to get rid of this, or is it like with the slew mode that you just have to wait and let it do it's job?

Whats your LOD_RADIUS and your nVidia inspector settings?

There are a number of tweaks and such you can try but in the end this sim is a compromise. It is just a matter of trial and error and research. I can't really point you in the direction of one thing that will make it better for you. Rather you must find this out for yourself. And frankly I do not have the time.

 

Word Not Allowed's guide really covers most of the stuff you need to know. Just play around and in the end you will have to sacrifice something. AI cars and stuff is a no no for me.

It looks like you may have several things running in the background, eating up resources. If so, shut them down and see how it does.

Two reasons, Kamil: 1). 3.4 gig isn't fast enough, and 2). 1 gig 560 GTX..

 

Overclock the 3570 to 4.5 or higher - and trade the 560 for (at minimum) a 560Ti or one of the newer cards with larger memory and greater performance.

You dont need a gfx card stronger than the 560 to enjoy FSX blurry free, infact, you dont even need a card stronger than the GTX260.

I stand corrected.

You dont need a gfx card stronger than the 560 to enjoy FSX blurry free, infact, you dont even need a card stronger than the GTX260.

 

Tis true. Before I got a 560ti I had a gtx 260 and had no issues at all with it. I still have it actually just sat in the original box.

The GTX 560 is sadly all I could afford, had to cut costs somewhere, but I'll just have to settle with it I guess. LOD_RADIUS is at 6.50000. Apparently recommended. I'll look for my nVidia settings and post them back soon.

 

@Paul J: My signature states that my i5 is OCed to 4.5GhZ :P

I have the i7-3770 OC to 4.5 and I have an SSD and the 670 GTX Video (PCI-e 3??) And I get no blurries for the most part....even when I zoom at 250 kts.. Only when I go over 500 kts on the f-16 do I get slight blurries but it refresshes pretty quick

 

But when I fly over sceneries that are stored on my HD (not the SSD), I get some blurries even at 250 kts.. again..nothing to complain about when I am flying GA.

 

As far as slew is concerned, I am not expecting anything but blurries.

Aaaah - sorry, Kamil; I understood the forum had new rules regarding signature content, so I just looked at yours in the side-bar - and it only shows just 3.4!

 

Thing is - a very large performance gain is made when you can use BP=0, and that means matching - balancing -optimizing the proc speed to that of the GPU, but that GPU needs the ability to absorb that high-speed data stream. The stock 560 can't match your 4.5 gig proc, hence my recommendation.

 

As Wims said "You dont need a gfx card stronger than the 560 to enjoy FSX blurry free, infact, you dont even need a card stronger than the GTX260." While this may be true, you have to compromise in many ways in order to get blurry-free, at an acceptable traffic amount, at an acceptable weather state, at an acceptable LOD radius, and at acceptable detail level, and with the scenery that you want to fly around. If you've never run a high-speed, balanced system, then you cannot judge what FSX is actually capable of.

 

And yes - it does come down to the cost of the replacement card. You have to go with what you can afford. :Peace:
