Cant stop the blurries

[Guest Pilot533]

Ive tried all the tweaks, mipbias=6, fiber time (even put fiber to 80), ive got text band mult at 400, tried 60, tried 260 nothing makes a difference. I increased lod_radius to 10. I downloaded nhancer and tried some settings, but nothing helps. FSX is blurry no matter what. Does anyone here run fsx without blurries? If so what have you done? Look at the mountains in the distance, they are not sharp!

Umm, scenery in the distance is never sharp. The best you can hope for is scenery near your location stays sharp. At least, that's what I get with my system. I run photorealistic scenery so I can turn autogen off and enjoy 30+ fps. That makes TrackIR a smooth experience. It also means I get no stutters or blurries nearby.Cheers,Noel.

wow, nice sharp textures....I never see thatmountains/far away terrain will always appear blurry...it's just too far too load..

[Guest Pilot533]

Thats too bad, they really should fix that, at least allow a setting to enable far texture loading even if it reduces fps, fsx just doesnt look impressive with blurry mountains all over. Theres nothing the the cfg that would increase the area around the aircraft to where high res textures are loaded?

If I remember correctly, in FS9 the TERRAIN_MIN_DEM_AREA value would extend the detail distance. However, the TERRAIN section in the FSX cfg is far different than FS9 and does not have this parameter in the default cfg. I do not know if it exists as a hidden parameter.

Hello Mike:IMHO, if you can retain the stability and consistancy of your textures as they are in your screenshot throughout all of your flying in FSX, you have this thing licked. I don't know to what you are comparing them, but I seriously doubt that you are going to see anything sharper than what you've got.I would suggest that you take a peek at the MANY other posts regarding blurries. Your situation looks like a solution, not the problem to these old eyes.Respectfully:RTH

Yesh the screenshot was originally much bigger, it looks alot sharper now thats it was resized, should have included that in my post. BTW its off topic but would a 8800gts enable me to use lightbloom and 2x max water textures?

[Virtualwombat 4]

You might be able to run 2x max water but lightbloom seems out of reach for most systems unless you are prepared to compromise other settings. With my system I can run lightbloom if I turn off autogen, but then only at dusk or dawn with 1 cloud layer. Otherwise the penalty in stuttering and low frame rates is too severe. An 8800GTS won't be a big enough step in performance to change this. The next generation of nVidia cards, with DX10.1 support due later this year, is probably worth waiting for, rather than buying a DX10 card now that will be superseded within a couple of months.Cheers,Noel.

try fsgs
