Hi, got my FSX running quite satisfactory, but there is still one problem and I cant solve it. The ground scenery only looks good a short distance from the plane, as you see on the picture, only a few miles out the ground looks washed out and blurred. I have seen several screenshots from other users and they dont seem to have the problem. Any suggestions?Resolution: 1024x768x32Filtering: BilinearGlobal texture resolution: Very HighAnti Aliasing: OnLevel of detail radius: HighMesh complexity: 70Mesh resolution: 5mTexture resolution 60cmWater effects: Low 2.xScenery complexity: DenseAutogen density: DenseSpecial effects detail: MediumI have Anti Aliasing x 4 set in my Gfx control panel.http://www.fcbarcelona.dk/fsx.jpgMB: Asus P5GD1P4E Prescott 3.4 GhzRadeon X800 XT 256 MB2GB Kingston DDR-SDRAM PC3200Maxtor SATA 300GB

How is Anisotropic Filtering set in your videocard control panel?Marco

Anisotropic Filtering is set on "Let the application decide"I can uncheck the box and select 2x - 4x - 8x - 16xCould that make a difference?

Wow, you were absolutely right Marco and Tabs. Thanks alot and have a very nice weekend.http://www.fcbarcelona.dk/fsx2.jpg

>Anisotropic Filtering is set on "Let the application decide">>I can uncheck the box and select 2x - 4x - 8x - 16x>>Could that make a difference?Try unchecking and selecting 8x or 16x. High settings may degrade performance, depending on the power of your video card.Marco

The bilinear filtering is the culprit - bilinear is an ancient filtering method. Set it to trilinear in the sim and then use your graphics card driver to apply at least 8X (preferably 16X) anisotropic filtering.http://www.tweakguides.com/Graphics_11.html here is an explanation of what texture filtering actually is.

Two words: Bilinear filtering. Increase it to Trilinear or higher!James
