any help appreciated -- I continue to have problems with airport/nearby textures shimmering on approach to the field. While the local environment seems "normal" from afar, on short final the textures off in the distance start to shimmer. Doesn't happen every time, but often, and almost exclusively at night. Any particular comments? PIII/1Gig system, 512 RAM, 64 meg GeForce II card. thanks. Greg.

Sounds like maybe:1) Resolution is low2) Mip mapping is set off or very lowWhat is in your render.ini file?[h3]Ken Salter (aka SaltyDog)[/h3]Fly! Forum Moderator[link:members.ud.com/services/teams/team.htm?id=5E79C613-0A60-4A3B-BDC1-F9EE49F2D4FE]Join the AVSIM Online Cancer Fight!!

I'm a VFR pilot, so I like the scenery crisp and defined. Maybe I don't have that, I'm not facile with the computer. thanks. Greg.

G'day Greg,Mate that VertexIndexFormat=7 is a weird setting.Change it to VertexIndexFormat=0It may not solve your problem but it should not be 7Cheers,Roger @YSSY

Try lowering the miplevelcount - one unit at a time.[h3]Ken Salter (aka SaltyDog)[/h3]Fly! Forum Moderator[link:members.ud.com/services/teams/team.htm?id=5E79C613-0A60-4A3B-BDC1-F9EE49F2D4FE]Join the AVSIM Online Cancer Fight!!

thanks to all for your help. I'll give it a shot. Greg.
