Yes, this is at 1x speed

In the Windows Experience Rating in control panel, I have between 7.6 and 7.9 for all my components, apart from HDD which is showing 5.9

 

That is quite normal with the "HDD". I had that with my WD Raptor too, also about 6. Now I have the SSD, and my index is 7.7, with all components being 7.9, and the CPU being 7.7 LOL... that is with the 2600K @ 5.0Ghz. Microsoft did something wrong with this measurement, hahaha...

 

Now, do I understand that your FSX and Windows reside on the same disk?

 

3570K doesn't have the HT... sorry I didn't see what your hardware was, was out of house...if your HT is off, you are good with AM=14.

 

Also the settings are fine.

Set the FFTF to 0.2 and test please, also zoom to 0.6. Post a shot of a "result".

I always thought that .33 or hight as in .44 gave you faster texture loading, it is the other way around?

The higher the number, the more you shift the power towards texture loaders. Smaller the number, shifting towards fps, faster rendering, less for texture loaders.

Got ya.

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I will try .20 later tonight and see if I can tell the difference.

With that hardware and OC your shouldn't get Blurries flying at normal speed...Say less than 200 kts.

 

Methodologically apply all the tweeks recommended here in this forum.

 

I have a similar setup except with a Samsung SSD for my FSX (Although I have heard folks say, having an SSD doesn't matter.. I believe it does matter) . I also have three 24" monitors... I rarely get blurries. And my LOD is 5.5.

Word Not Allowed,

 

Yes FSX and Win7 on the same HDD.

 

Here is a shot with FFTF at 0.2 and 0.6 zoom. Also LOD radius is 5.5

 

Seems better but still a bit blurry? Maybe it's just my eyes!

Do you have your Anisotropic filter settings to the max in your Video card driver settings? This is a low hanging fruit.. You can maximize this setting without paying for in FPS.

Yes it's set to 16x in nVidia inspector.

 

Maybe I'm just being a bit too demanding! I was expecting a "WOW" upgrade from FS9/old hardware to FSX/new hardware, and other than in the water, I'm not quite seeing it...

Add Orbx scenery (suggest PNW) and you'll have some WOW moments...

This looks fine to me. You are expecting too much. You must realize that the area you are shooting for from that height is MILES AND MILES from your current position on the ground. For FSX to load all these textures sharp would require huge resources and your system would:

1. crash not having enough memory, just imagine loading the whole areal of photoscenery in highest resolution... ouch.

2. slow to the crawl

 

You can set insanely high LOD_RADIUS, try something like 15 or higher (whatever will allow you to load without getting OOM error, you have to experiment), and reload the situation.

 

If you still think there is something wrong, you are welcome to save the situation, zip it and put it up for the download somewhere. I'll be happy to test for you and post you a screenshot from here.
