I have an annoying line in terrain that is associated with the way the terrain is displayed and moves with the terrain as I move. It's like my card won't render the terrain to far at all.I have a 1.6 P4 with nvidia 5200FX 128 card. 756 ram or something like that and soundblaster 516PCI.I've included an attachment of the pic . Be sure to look at the roads and you will be able to see what I'm talking about look for a clear to fuzzy distinction in the pic. Thanks for any help.

Please copy and paste the following sections from your FS9.cfg:{DISPLAY.Device.<(driver version)>}{DISPLAY}{TERRAIN}Note: Square brackets will not work in this forum.Greg

Here is what I found Thanks for the help.[DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra.0]Mode=1024x768x32AntiAlias=1MipBias=3[DISPLAY]UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=0TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=200[TERRAIN]TERRAIN_ERROR_FACTOR=85.000000TERRAIN_MIN_DEM_AREA=10.000000TERRAIN_MAX_DEM_AREA=100.000000TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=19TERRAIN_TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=8TERRAIN_AUTOGEN_DENSITY=3TERRAIN_USE_GRADIENT_MAP=1TERRAIN_EXTENDED_TEXTURES=1TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=0.000000TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=0.00000TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=1242456

First thing that is noticeable is that your FS9.cfg shows no upper frame rate limit. Try setting that to 15 in the sim.Also, add some value to the TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS and TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS. Try setting the TDR to 5 and the TER to 10.Finally, disable AntiAliasing in the sim. Set it in your video card drivers... they will handle AA better than the sim can.Hope this helps,Greg

WEll after turning everything to the lowest possible setting , The lines are still there , which leads me to believe it could be some wrong setting on my Video Card . I still have the lines even after updating the drivers so something is fishy here with that. Thanks for your help.

Try setting the mip mapping quality to 4 from 3 in the FS hardware page, and check that terrain texture size = high on the scenery page. If you are using bilinear filtering on the hardware page, try setting it to trilinear.Also check your video card setting for the image setting quality, if it is set for performance, change it to quality.Kurt M

52niner... what AA and AF settings are you using in your video card tweaker?Greg

Both are on Application Controlled. I haven't tried increasing my mip form 3 to 4 but I hate the way the game looks when MIP is on , but if it helps me out here I might go with it. Thanks for the help fellas. I'm not the smartest computer guy I just know how to fly : ) 0

"Both are on Application Controlled."This could be alot of your problem. FS9 does this sort of stuff OK, but it's far better to control AA and AF in your card tweaker. With your video card you probably won't be able to run anything better than 2xAA and 4xAF (the same settings FS9 uses when allowed to control AA and AF), but it's still better to control AA and AF through the video card and drivers.Greg
