Mir: I was indeed quite surprised not to receive any answers from you for the past week... I thought you might have forgotten about my issue. Anyway, the texture problem seems fixed now (EDIT: Nope, it's back now...). I have all the settings already as you recommend them, and from my tests the FPS really is better at FSDT KLAX than at either FB KPHX or FB KSFO. Every PC is different I guess...

 

Clearly there is something going on with your fsx settings, or config, especially if you're getting "really better" performance at KLAX.

It's very hard to pinpoint what is causing your texture issue, because you're literally the only customer who's having this issue. The test PC's and BETA testers aren't able to reproduce this with a huge variety of addons.

 

Do you have any mesh addons? Are you using DX10? Also, do a search for KPHX_ALT.BGL and rename it to KPHX_ALT.OFF, see if it makes any difference.

 

Setting mesh requirements to that level of granularity often conflicts with other addons. And its very restrictive., And other addon need to make sure theirs works with 100% granularity of mesh as well

It's truly bizarre for a Scenery designer to require LOWER mesh settings. But it is what it is...

 

On the next update I'm working to lower the requirements down a bit. In the meantime, if you have it slightly lower than max it doesn't break the airport.

 

It is this way because modifying terrain in the backend is the only way to make proper taxiway bridges. FSX doesn't even support these.

I run all my setting to Max . An never had a problem i just limit FPS with in fsx cfg file. An the level of smoothness is great specially when coming in for landing in KPHX.

Mir, I had opened a support ticket with number 345662. I have updated it with some things I noticed only yesterday. I suggest we continue the talk over there :)

 

truth be told, I'm considering doing a complete reinstall of Windows and FSX. It's getting rather slow and a refresher might be a good idea...

I get it. I did a freeware for a helli mission in Oahu and I built a helipad (there is no real world helli pad) in that water fall .sacred fall. I had to manipulate the terrain . Each time you adjust that %age of granularity of terrain detail, it messes up my helipad.
