January 17, 201511 yr Hi all, Since the re relase of fsx on steam i noticed that textures are really blurry also at low distance (like a lod radius of 1 or less).I have all my settings maxed up and tried a lot of things but i still cant manage on how dont have this result... hope you can help :( Addons (but it happens also without them):FTX Global + lcEuropeREX 4Airbus x extended PC

January 17, 201511 yr Author You have an i7, Affinitymask=14 is your magical friend. Trust me. Where should i type it?
January 17, 201511 yr Go to C:\user\your name\app data\roaming\microsoft\fsx Open the FSX.cfg file in Note Pad and at the bottom of the text you type: [JobScheduler] AffinityMask=14 By the way, did you have a look at the cofiguration guide? It has more tweaks that might help you. http://forum.avsim.net/files/file/41-basic-fsx-p3d-configuration-guide/ Cheers! Maarten

Thank you but i dont notice any differences... yeah i tried almost everything also from that guide, but the blurry remains in any case
January 17, 201511 yr I see you're running high settings. I havent done much with FSX:SE so far, but from MS:FSX and P3D I know you need quite a PC to do that. Mostly it's finding the balance in the settings and the tweaks can be adjusted as well, by changing the values and those differ for every system. When setting up a new sim, or a new computer, it takes time to find the right balance. Cheers! Maarten

The problem is that also trying every settings combination the problem is still here, i had fsx on cd on the same pc some months ago and it was perfect, then the cd become unreadable and i bought this steam edition...
January 17, 201511 yr Commercial Member If you're running with Hyper threading Enabled then 14 isn't the correct setting for you. I believe Hyper-threading is ENABLED in the BIOS as default. Affinity Mask 14 = 1110 (4 processing threads, so Hyper-threading is Disabled) 254 = 11111100 (8 processing threads, so Hyper-threading is Enabled) You can tell if Hyper-threading is Enabled or Disabled by bringing up the Task Manager and counting the number of processor thread windows there are. Some believe it's best to run FSX with Hyper-threading Disabled, however it's been my experience with i7 processors that it makes no difference providing you have at least 4 processor threads devoted to FSX (Core 0 will always run FSX regardless of what your Affinity Mask setting is). The AVSIM Setup Guide has more information on this topic. NOTE: If you stream your flights, then the Processor and Affinity Mask setting is a horse of a different color and the above settings might not provide the best overall performance.

I really thank you for the reply but unfortunatly it seems the problem has nothing to do with affinity mask or the cpu in general.
January 17, 201511 yr Try changing LOD_RADIUS to LOD_RADIUS=6.5 It should make textures in the distance less blurried.Do you notice any improvement when running fsx with that set on 6.5?(it is weird because even wirth 4.5 you shoudn't see all those blurries) Chock 1.1: "The only thing that whines louder than a jet engine is a flight simmer."
January 17, 201511 yr Author Try changing LOD_RADIUS to LOD_RADIUS=6.5 It should make textures in the distance less blurried. Do you notice any improvement when running fsx with that set on 6.5? (it is weird because even wirth 4.5 you shoudn't see all those blurries) Yes changing it to 6.5 improves a little, if i want the right textures i have to set it like to 12, but then its almost unplayable (like 1-2fps). its very strange
January 17, 201511 yr Yeah, because 6.5 should be the right setting for high level PCs. Beyond that you just lose fps and risk more OOM errors. What happens if you lower autogen settings in game, cut away traffic and stuff like that? (also remember that each time you change settings in game your LOD_RADIUS goes back to 4.5) Do you also have the blurries if you activate DX10? (unreleated but i saw from your .cfg that you also have WideViewAspect set to False. Considering your screen resolution, you should set it to True since you are on a widescreen monitor) Chock 1.1: "The only thing that whines louder than a jet engine is a flight simmer."
January 17, 201511 yr I noticed your dx9 display settings are only 16 bit, but I don't think that will help with the blurries, but change it to 32bit anyway. [DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760.0] Mode=1920x1080x16 change the 16 to 32.

(unreleated but i saw from your .cfg that you also have WideViewAspect set to False. Considering your screen resolution, you should set it to True since you are on a widescreen monitor) Lowering setting only make it worse (without a notable performance difference), with dx10 enabled the situation dont change and also appears black squares (where should be lights on terrain i think). Also setted WideViewAspect set to True
January 17, 201511 yr You can also try to max out your terrain mesh settings, like this: [TERRAIN] MESH_COMPLEXITY=100 MESH_RESOLUTION=22 Not sure, but it might help.
