I have the following specs: 6700k CPU, nVidia 970, 16Gb Ram and FSX on SSD.  I had the exact same issue with my new computer and solved it with a graphics card setting.  First, as Jim said, NO tweaks to the fsx.cfg, because Skylake systems don't benefit from them.  What fixed the blurries for me was going into nVidia Inspector and adjusting two settings under "Texture Filtering".  Anisotropic filtering mode to OFF; and Anisotropic filtering to 16x.  That took me from very blurry to crystal clear.

What is you filtering setting in FSX under the Grapics tab?

I have Anisotropic filtering set in the graphics tab.    

Hi Luftwulf, I see you have Steve's DX10 Fixer running, but in his PDF guide he does include a host of cfg tweaks to go with it. Did you implement them? Or leave your cfg 'bare'.

Sorry, my mistake ... I must have been following another DX10 guide ... I might try a fresh FSX.cfg build then and clean out all those fixes.

Firstly, Great Avatar!  

 

My settings are as follows:

 

Poolsize = 0

Display Texture MaxLoad =

Swap Wait Timeout = 2

Graphic Texture Max Load =  2048

 

Texture Bandwidth Multiplier = 60

Missing Texture Alert (not checked)

LOD Radius = 6.5

 

Max Sync Batching Jobs = 3

Fiber Time Fraction = 

 

Process Affinity/Mask = Checked

Core2

Core4

Core6

 

Force VC Shadows = Checked

 

 

Cheers,

I'd start fresh if I were you. Delete the CFG, rebuild it and just fly.

For instance, a lot of so-called "experts" say to raise the Texture_Bandwidth_Multi to 120 or higher (default is 40).  It should never go higher than 60.

 

Best regards,

I would just like to add that this is not the case for FSX Steam Edition. The default Texture_Bandwidth_Multi is set to 160 and should be left as it is. The bufferpools shouldn't be touched ( added ) either since dovtail made some improvements to it. But this only apply's to FSX SE not MS FSX.

Interesting.  The default TBM for P3D is 30 and no bufferpool tweak.  I suspect the fact Dovetail uses dotnet 4.0 to run their application is the reason for this.  FSX uses dotnet 1.1 or 2.0.  Otherwise I see no advantage.  They could not change any of the code in FSX.

 

Best regards,
