Pics are definitely needed to describe the problem. In case you don't know how to take a screenshot, press the 'V' key. The screenshot will be saved in your 'Libraries/Pictures/[Flight Simulator X or Prepar3D] Files' folder. Make a free account on imgur.com and upload your picture. Copy+Paste the url into your post and the picture should embed itself automatically. 

Failing this, you should be more descriptive. What do you mean by 'grainy'? Like, anti-aliasing is bad? Does something like static appear on the plane? (etc...) I can't make out what you're talking about tbh.

Also, before long a moderator (or self appointed unofficial moderator) will come along and tell you to post your Full Name, First and Last, on your posts (yeah, I don't like this rule personally, but rules are rules. The goal is to foster a more friendly atmosphere and stop those who pirated the planes from getting support). I figured I'd post some help attached to my nag, which sometimes doesn't happen around here . Be sure to read all the pinned rules to make sure things go smoothly from here on out.

or  use  the  snipping  tool  if  you  want  a  precise area   you want  to post

do you see how the info on the MCP or the screens are blurry. It requires me zooming in for it to become clear

Hard for me to tell in the screen shots but do you have in the settings menu Display-Aircraft tab "High resolution 3D cockpit" ticked in the box?

Are you using nHancer or any tools for anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering? If so, what settings?

And since you are in full screen mode, does your FSX Resolution match or resemble your Windows

Resolution?  It looked like everything was fuzzy in your screenshot.
