1. Is there a PC out there today from Alienware, Dell, Gateway or other, that can run FSX with NO BLURRIES at mid-level settings?2. Have we found an answer yet to the exact PC specs that the MS team used when they developed this game?to get blurries, fly a 737 at around 280 mph for around 5 minutes over KLAX. Take a screen shot. Than slew for a bit. Take a screenshot and post the ground.Tim

I run everything to the right except autogen off, bloom off, and water low, ai traffic at 25 % with mytraffic. 20-40 fps average.I get no blurries...and great high res textures-frame fiber set at .44. Autogen causes instant blurring of the high res textures at any setting.PIv 3.2, 3 megs ram, nvidia 7600 gs 512 megs.http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg

Slewing has caused blurries since the beginning of time...http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg

>Slewing has caused blurries since the beginning of time...>http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpgI was thinking the same thing. The slewing is what causes the blurries in FSX and FS9 on my machine.

Think about how much texture and mesh data you're asking the sim to load in such a small period of time when you slew - there's no system on earth that can meet that demand.

I agree that flying at high speed causes pretty bad blurries in FSX.I increased my FIBER_FRAME_RATIO setting to .50 and the blurries were greatly reduced. I strongly believe that next year when I upgrade to 2gig of ram and a 512 mb DX10 vid card the blurries will be a thing of the past, even with the default setting of .33James

"Light bloom" in "GRAPHICS" tab page of "SETTINGS - DISPLAY" is a real FRAME RATE KILLER. It knocks down FPS of 40-60%.Video card: nVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS with Forceware drivers 91.47 WHQL 16-oct-2006.Andreahttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg

So can Geof's. So can a lot of people's.YOu have to remember, you can get ANY system to give the blurries if you slew it fast enough. Any system known to man or God.>2.

>Slewing has caused blurries since the beginning of time...If I recall FLY!2 was unique - no blurries but at the expense of waiting for scenery to fall into places before updating aircraft position. Sounds like a clever idea? Well, it was actually a very bad idea to tie aircraft dynamics to scenery update, very, very bad idea. No commercial simulator does it. In FLY!2 is was responsible for a lot stutter.Michael J.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/for...argo_hauler.gif
