Ground textures

Featured Replies

Hi,My question is:While I am flying at 350 knots or less everything works great, as soon as my speed increases my ground textures loose there sharpness, everything else still works great, when I slow down again it all comes back into focus, Tried to send pictures but couldn't make them small enough.Any suggestions welcome, Thanks.KloyceAMD 64 Athlon X2 2 gigs of ram and Nvidia 8600, Windows XP Pro

FSX is very taxing on the best of machines. It's a known issue that blurries occur when going fast even more so the lower you are to the ground.

Thanks for the quick response, guess I'll have to slow down a little HUH! :-)

Blurries is the reason for the 250 mph speed limit below 10,000 ft :>)

Hi Hooked,so am I...Microsoft has these "POWER TOYS for XP" or some such, and amongst them I seem to recall an 'image resizer'; you can also open, resize and save with many image viewers such as Irfanview. I personally use Photo Edit that came with Office. Even Paint would probably work... But I don't use the built-in screen capture feature - I use Grabber2k. It lets you save a Window, or a screen in various sizes or formats.I fly in a maximized window usually but my 'restore' window is exactly 600x800 in case I need to limit the size of the screen-capture. There's almost always a number of different ways to do anything on the computer; pick whichever you are most comfortable with.Loyd
