FSX blurry night textures

Featured Replies

Hi All,

 

I have an issue with night (during the day the textures looks great) textures where they appear like 8 bit colors, mountains are appear green.

 

Starting FSX with an clean FSX.cfg file didn't solve this issue:

 

I am using the following addons:

 

REX 4 Textures Direct

FTX Global 

FTX Vectors

 

Hardware specs:

 

I5-3570K (4.4Ghz)

GTX770

 

Inspector settings is set to: 

- Gamma Correction is set to Off

- Annisotrpic filtering mode: User-defined / off, 16x, Clamp and High quality (FSX is set to trilinair)

 

Please let me share you two screenshots to show the issue (sorry don't know how to embed them):

Looking forward to any suggestions.

Are you set to 32 bit colors in your display in Windows and in FSX, rather than 16 bit colors?

 

Also, it's FTX Vector not Vectors. Vectors are something that air traffic control gives you.

I just tried OITT and had the setting both for 1 minute after darkness fell and also a little before midnight. 

 

Sitting on runway 30R the texture for the ground, buildings, etc looked very blurry.  This is default FSX

 

with no payware programs.  I would call the night textures fairly muddy looking.

Aight thanks for checking, cannot remember i had this in the past but it might be with payware scenery.

 

And yes it is set to 32 bit color not 16 ;) and sorry for the typo regarding Vector

I think it simply looks like the stock FSX night textures, which have never looked particularly good and always seemed a bit "muddy" to me.  The night lighting on FSX buildings is blurry, but that's just the way the stock buildings were made.

I have to agree with charliearon and stans. From what I can see of your screenshots (which is, admittedly, not a lot), it looks pretty much like my non-payware airports. The default night textures were never great in FSX.
