FS2004 texture/video card problems

Featured Replies

Hi again!

 

I hope I'm not too annoying by being persistent about my FS2004 texture problems.

 

And I don't know if this should go here or in the hardware/graphics card section, so I'll enter both.

 

My FS2004 runs generally well with my new Gigabyte Geforce GTX 650Ti card, but I can't seem

 

to get rid of some sort of floating horizontal "watery" effect of the scenery; especially airports.

 

Does this have to do with DXT settings, settings in the FS9.cfg file or to do with the video card?

 

It is an ever so small detail effect sideways which creates the idea that the scenery is ever so

 

slightly moving sideways. I thought I'd enclose a short video file about this, but I don't think it

 

would be visible, the effect is so small. I use the Nvidia Inspector, which is very good and I have

 

checked virtually every setting there and in the sim. I think the problem could be easily solved; I

 

just haven't figured it out yet.

 

Garteful for more help.

 

Thanks again.

If I understand you correctly, the issue you have is with some shimmering/swimming lines in ground textures, right? See this FSX video (not mine), the runway "chevrons" at 0:07 and the runway at 1:47:

 

 

Is thsi the issue you're describing? If so, the answer lies in more antialiasing, and maybe reducing Mip bias level (down to 4 works OK). Although, with your GPU, I'd start by increasing AA settings, before playing with the Mip bias slider.

Hanse I wonder whether after making changes to the MS Flight Simulator 2004 profile page in Inspector you applied the settings via the button Apply Changes in the top right corner?
