For some reason, don't ask me how or why......, the zoom level on all cameras have gone haywire causing all outside ground terxtures to look blurry. Can anyone please tell me how you can reset them back to default ?

Thanks Paul

Man I have no Idea! sorry!

I don't have a clue, but I thought I would post anyway, sorry.

 

PS: Camera views are in the aircraft.cfg file for the plane(s) in question.

Actually I might have a clue. Go into your Aircraft .cfg file and looks for (as Jim said above) the camera views:

 

It should look something like this:

 

 

[CameraDefinition.4]

Title = "Landing Gear"

Guid = {96873AAD-621B-4C45-8A58-DEF7B7FCB051}

Description = View of the landing gear and left wing inboard flaps

Origin = Center

SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel

SnapPbhReturn = FALSE

PanPbhAdjust = Swivel

PanPbhReturn = FALSE

Track = None

ShowAxis = FALSE

AllowZoom = TRUE

InitialZoom = .58

ShowWeather = Yes

InitialXyz = 0, -10.0, 21

InitialPbh = 0, 0, 180

XyzAdjust = TRUE

Category=Aircraft

MomentumEffect=FALSE

ClipMode=Minimum

 

There will be many of these inputs, for each different view. What I am pretty sure you have to do is go in and change in the InitialZoom number.

 

So, the one above is InitialZoom = .58

 

whatever yours is try changing it. All of my aircraft are set to .58 and it works for me.

 

Hope that helps.

Why is it you think blurry ground textures are connected to camera zoom levels?  

 

Also, camera zoom levels don't change themselves.  Are you using EZDok or Opus or another camera editing addon?  If so, you should be able to set zoom levels through the interface of that software.  

No idea how it happened, when I zoomed out the ground textures became sharp again. I did delete the camera cfg and let FSX build a new one but the problem was still there. Thank god for seagate disc image, reinstalled a previous image and now its fine again. Its been said many times on this forum but a disc image programme saves you so much hassle..........

You are very welcome! It's no problem to help people! When I first saw your post I actually had no idea how to fix this, but I have had similar problems before and I did some research on the issue, so really, thank you!Remy Mermelstein777-300 FS Pilot
