Mike, try turning on anisotropic filtering within your gfx card settings & turn it off in the Flightsim options.Same goes for anti-aliasing. I think the blurry aircraft texture is just how the texture is & not a prob with hardware, setup or fsx.

>With a shared cockpit? >http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpgYep it seems your are to busy with a certain tile... lolAndr

Hi Geofa,I tried your suggestions, here is the result. I also turned completely off "Autogen".

Yes-you are right there! Thanks for illuminating me! :-)http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg

Strange-cause your shot still is showing autogen trees?!I would vote for turning up your video card settings outside the sim-something is definately not right.http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg

Hi,I tried your settings as well.The end result.

The guy has a top of the line system and his sim runs like that without ANY add-ons yet on SP1? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:DI can't wait to see how all of your frames will start decreasing when the heavy duty add-ons will start showing up in the market.

Mike..can you tell me what coordinates your at. I would like to see what it looks like on my system which is just a tad lesser than yours. If it looks better on mine then you definately have a problem and it's just not FSX.

Ok, I can see Anti-aliasing is actually turned off & I think Anisotropic is off too.In the FS Display settings try 'trilinear' for Filtering& make sure Anti-aliasing is OFF.Now go to your Nvidia Panel & turn on Anisotropic filtering & Antialiasing to at least 4x like below.Like I said before, the blur on the cessna is the way the texture is.I've uploaded a 100% crop of a small section from the original texture & you can see its not perfect either.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/171771.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/171773.jpg

Mike-here are two shots with and without autogen on my system. PIV 3.2, 2 ram, nvidia 7600 512k, windows vista 32 bit.You should at least be able to get a visual like this-but with better fps than I can get.http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/171772.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/171774.jpg

Hi,New York's KJFK airport.

I think that compared to FS9, FSX renders out as 'cartoonish', to invent a word.I have been flying it non-stop since having fired up SP1 and even though I now have pretty decent performance from my P4 3.4 GHz machine,....I still have to say that FS9 has far more realism and attraction as per the 'rendered world' about you. My opinion, of course.I now honestly believe that M.S. intended FSX to feel and look as though it is a 'flying game', rather than what had been its franchised 'serious' look in the past three versions of M.S. FS.I find FSX renders washed out and pastels.I feel myself now leaning towards FS9 as my main M.S. flight sim. It just does everything so well, and it looks and renders so good!I'm not bumming out because of SP1. No...but rather that FSX personally, just truly doesn't cut it for me.Back to FS9, and all the great stuff that goes with it, including VIBRANT colors and a planet that is not one pastel-brown desert in scope. :(My two cents, and not beer-tears.Mitch R.

I agree, the pastel textures especially around airports combined with the pastel desert and horrible landclass does leave a bad taste in my mouth. I still like FSX a lot after SP1, but I'm still waiting for someone to come out with new textures that make the "game" look real.

Hi Mitch,I guess I'll be joining you with FS9. I can't see how its my setting and not FSX. Here is a shot from FS9 in the same area.

MikeHave you messed with FIBER_FRAME at all?Your system looks like a good candidate for FIBER_FRAME tweaking to eliminate blurries.FYI, my rig can run locked at 24 fps and no blurries.
