Hi all. I was wondering which slider to set high for visible roads? I can get the demo running fairly well, with traffic on the roads, so I don't want to upset my settings. Is there one slide rule in particular that I can set to high, or even max out, that will give me better representation of the roads the vehicles are driving on? Right now they're obviously following a road, but at times there just travelling over green mesh.Oh and by the way. I have a p4 1.8 with a GeForce3 TI 200. I can't get the detail like you guys with the "big machines" but what I can get in FSX is enough for me. I was flying the demo and was actually amazed at the weather simulation. What I mean is as I was flying around the hilly areas, I started experiencing up and down drafts, and buffeting. When I was flying a pattern, as I was heading downwind this also started happening unexpectedly; like some wind gusts all of a sudden came up. I've kept most of the sliders back so I can experience this smoothly.I plan to get a new computer eventually, but I've simply fallen for these flight dynamics as far as the weather is concerned. Not sure you'd call it the weather, but the flight dynamics as far as turbulence is concerned. Last year I went for my first flight in a small GA, and what I really loved was the turbulence that was experienced now and then through the flight. Well FSX reminded me of that aspect of flight. It gave me such a sensation of really flying that I NEVER experienced in FS9. As a result I can't put FSX down (uninstall it (the demo btw)).I can only imagine what it must be like flying it and experiencing these flight dynamics on a powerful computer with all the other options set high.I haven't done a lot of complaining about FSX simply because my computer is so ancient. Most of my disappointment is what I hear about the authentication process.Anyways, I for one am changing my tune toward FSX. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just seems more "real" than FS9 even without all the eye-candy. I'm looking forward to growing with it.Enough chatter. So, will anyone tell me which slide ruler I should max to get the roads more visible?

As you can see from these shots, in some places the roads aren't showing up. Any idea which slider would give more detailed roads?And don't laugh at the shots. I get 15 fps and up to 17 fps (excluding the shots locked at 10 fps) on my humble machine.P4 1.8GeForce 3 TI200She flies smoooooth as silk with this kind of graphics. So you can see why I'm afraid to touch any of the settings. If someone could just tell me which slider would most effect the roads, I'd be a happy camper flying the demo till I get my new computer and buy the real thing. Then I'll turn up the sliders and start complaining like everyone else...NOT!Anyone...please?

Texture resolution commands the roads to be clearer, but only if your rig will support 5m or better textures.Good luck!Allcott
