HELP FSX-SE ORBX FTX Global blurry textures

Featured Replies

As the title says. Getting blurry textures. FSX has difficulty loading the textures, some parts are less blurrier than others. My FSX settings are set according to the ORBX Global user manual. I also don't get any 3D Lights at night, even though i have run the Lights configurator, and updated the ORBX libraries. I believe that's probably because FSX is also having a difficult time loading them. I have barely tweaked my FSX cfg, so maybe i am missing something there? I'm really not good with CFG tweaking. Also my PC isn't exactly the fastest. But surely it would still be able to load textures and 3D lights?

The blurries are caused by high settings.  There is no other cause.  See the AVSIM FSX Configuration Guide.

Hello, thanks for the reply. I have applied the tweaks from the Guide, and i have also slightly reduced my Display settings in FSX, and the textures are loading a lot faster, however it is still pretty slow, and i see some blurries here and there. So i think we're getting there. I just need to know, which one of the tweaks help with the loading of textures? So i can increase it, and maybe that'll help it.

In all frankness, a 2.3Ghz laptop with 945M GPU is not going to be able to "pump" out a lot of graphics. Especially if you are flying at 300kt close to the ground in a very urban environment.

Recommend you set autogen to low and view radius to low.

If you are going to be flying commercial jet liners in their normal real world profiles, you will not be seeing much detail on the ground anyway.

Hope this helps.

Also which Display settings would you recommend i lower? Thank you in advance.

I understand. But i think i can at least improve it a little bit. Taking off from an airport and seeing those blurry textures from a wing view really kinda ruins everything. Also the fact that no 3D lights are being loaded at night.

I agree with previous comments about your system, but if you want "to try to see", run the latest ORBX Library again to discard you have something wrong with your scenery layers order.

Will do, thanks.

 

Update as well, i played around with the settings a little bit, and now i get really good textures, but only where i am above. Blurry textures can still be seen everywhere around. No 3D lights either :(

Hello, my issue has been fixed. I reduced the texture resolution to 1m, and i added FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACION=0.40.

Of course it had a little impact on the FPS, but it was not so big. I'm no longer getting blurries, and i am also getting 3D lights now. Thanks to everyone.

Hi ozanakdag70,  

 

Where did you put the FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACION=0.40. in your FSX.CFG

 

Look Foward to hearing from you.

This is explained in the AVSIM FSX Configuration Guide.  See link in my signature.

Hi Jim, Thanks for the Reply. I put it underneath my Main in FSX.CFG. I have really Blurry ground textures and orbx doesn't load when flying. Do you have any Ideas?

MATT,

If you put FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACION=0.40 in the [Main] section of your cfg it won’t do anything because it’s spelled wrong. The last word should be FRACTION not FRACION.
