>Does a better video card solve this problem???Problem??? I wish FSX looked like that for me! I _really_ need a new computer.Incidentally, where is that?Colin

>>Incidentally, where is that?>>Colin>Looks like the Rio de Janiero area in Brazil ??Regarding the LOD at 6.5+, doesn't that cause instability problems?RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian

I've never had an instabililty or OOM errors at all Rhett. Just the perfromance hit, which is no more than turning lightbloom on for me. It sure gives me an awsome VFR experience whenever I'm in bushing it in the mountains, or canyons (like GC) that benefit from this - where frame rates are never an issue anyways.I tone it down to 5.5 for areas like Van+, as a balance to see the distant mountains in thier glory while sustaining "blurries" free perfromance. I come to realize the best thing to prevent blurries in FSX is - just slow down LOL ... Truely, its one heck of a G/A VFR sim, and when I use it for that - alot of time I'm just smiling away pounding on the V key :DRegards'Garett
