September 26, 20205 yr Hello Everyone! 🙂 I am new to avsim and this is my first question over here... In the FSX default Airbus a321 VIRTUAL COCKPIT(and Project Airbus a320 as well), outside scenery graphics are very poor, e.g., Runway textures and markings are hardly visible. I am attaching a screenshot also. But when I switch to the 2-D Cockpit, everything is ok and perfectly visible, and again becomes worse back in the 3d VC. If this is a 'Low setting' issue, then I must tell you, that in Boeing 737 VC outside scenery is charm. There is no such loss of Runway textures and Taxiway lines' quality. I hope I made my point, screenshots will definitely clear my point. 3D-VC : 2-D Cockpit: Boeing 737-800 Virtual Cockpit
September 26, 20205 yr Administrators Links to pics are a no-go! Is your FSX resolution set to what your Windows resolution is?

September 27, 20205 yr Author Thanx for replying fast! 😃 Screenshots links Airbus A321 VC : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UcEwwLVM4PfhMzcnL1Az9M0RuqJkhXq0/view?usp=sharing Airbus A321 2D cockpit : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jQIXz3Hpv6Df5oafuE4X0SjMjLMPynmZ/view?usp=sharing Boeing 737-800 VC: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1txhCNEDDr9fEg7Hfk8l7ec4fq98VuHdQ/view?usp=sharing No, my fsx Resolution is lower than windows resolution. Kinda low end pc... But still this problem is only with Airbus and not Boeing... if resolution is a problem
September 27, 20205 yr Administrators Again, your screenshots don't work! Make your FSX resolution match your Windows resolution and see the difference.

September 27, 20205 yr Yeah, just try matching the resolutions and the report back please. Oh and Welcome! to AVSIM. 🍻 The eye point position may well be different from the 737 to the A321 which might?? have an effect. I've never flown the default airliners in FSX apart from a brief go in the Embraer - all my "big iron" is freeware or payware. I've just noticed something in your screenshots - The 3D Airbus VC is at a different zoom level to the other two - the taxiway is much closer and the other giveaway is that you cannot see as many trees..

September 27, 20205 yr Author I set the fsx resolution to 1440x900x16 which is my current windows resolution as well. But No success! 😔 I also tried changing the eyepoint position and zoom levels... No Change! BUT! I found a clue. I just loaded my a321 at Muscat airport (I get Double FPS at this airport due to desert area) and BAM! Markings are back (in the VC)! Hence the problem is only at Heavy Airports. By 'Heavy', I mean Heavy on the system. BTW Really appreciate your inputs guys!
September 27, 20205 yr OK I'm stumped! Good luck!

September 27, 20205 yr Administrators 1440x900x16 ?? Shouldn't that be 1440x900x32 for 32 bit color?

September 28, 20205 yr Welcome to Avsim and, yes, select 32-bit color in your resolution settings.

September 28, 20205 yr Author Yes I changed it to 32-bit as well. No change 😖 I really hate flying from the 2D cockpit. Is it really ONLY ME who's facing this issue in fsx?
September 28, 20205 yr Administrators I never saw anything bad outside of the cockpit in any FSX aircraft at any airport. My now dead computer ran WinXP at 2 GHZ. with 2GB of memory.

September 29, 20205 yr Author Alright then Thanks everyone! I had one small question (dont wanna start new topic for this) I also have Project Airbus A320 merged with default VC (upgraded textures). But the all the 3 Flight computers remain turned off no matter I click them any number of times... This issue is not in the default a321. I know the problem is in panel.cfg or aircraft.cfg but could not figure out how to fix... If you guys can help...
