So I tried some tweaks today. I added LOD at 8.5 and then tried adding the line Mipmap=6 and in driver setttings setting anispropic to 16x AA to 8x and LOD bias to clamp. I think this has made a noticeable difference. I have posted some more screens. The first two screens are with LOD = 4.5 in the config.These next two are with LOD=8.5The last two are with Mipmap = 6 and LOD= 8.5If you compare the shots from the original (LOD = 4.5) to the final shots you really can see a noticeable difference. This seems to have fixed the problem nicely. Does anyone know a tweak to stop autogen from loading slowly and poping up as you fly?

@campbellsjc Thanks! Now that's what the textures are supposed to look like when I am flying. Right now they look 10x worse. I will try tweaking the sim this weekend when I get a chance. I hope the LOD change will make big difference. I will post some more screen shots afterI try the tweak out and disable SLI.

Thanks for all the input guys! I don't think I need to optimize my machine any further its a brand new install of windows 7 64bit regularly defraged every other day besides all those tweek guides are about gaining fps. I don't need that, clearly my rig can handleFSX fine if I can play on customized ultra high settings at 2048x1152 res with AA on at 35-60 fps while flying. @ meshman thanks for the tip I will try that tweek out and see if it works, what is the max LOD that I can set? Also @ freebird 77 my settings have quality selected in the control panel and anisotropic filtering. I was wondering if you guys good do a flight over Las Vegas (like in mine) and take some screen shots and post them here I would like to compare how they look ( Hi res please: 1650x1050 or above) Thanks for all the help guysI still don't think I am imagining this there is definitely something strange with my textures maybe its a rendering problem or my FSX CD is just corrupted for some reason. Its just crazy that the textures in the near to background look so bad even though my processor/ graphics card is up to the rendering task and the res is absolutely huge.

Hi guys I think I am having a problem with the textures in FSX. While in flight the textures close to the aircraft are sharp and clear, but any textures farther off in the distance are not clear. Also the autogen in the distance does not appear until the my aircraft gets closer. Yes I know I am a newbie but any help would be great. I was having this problem with my laptop initally but I just dismissed it as bad hardware ( my laptop is terrible). Now that I have my new gaming rig I assumed my problems would be gone but they are not. I have attached two pictures of my problem, note the clear textures in the foreground and the blurry textures in the back ground. I also posted a picture of my scenery settings. Note all other settings are on ultra high. My resolution in game is 2048x1152. Here are my PC specs : Motherboard: Evga FTW SLI Processor: Intel Core i7 870 @ 2.93 ghz Graphics Card: (2) Evga GTX 460's in SLI (768mb versions)Memory: G-Skill 4 GB @ 1666 mhz 9-9-9-9-24 timingsHard Drive: Barracuda 1 TBI don't think this is a hardware issue. Or a cfg file issue. I have already tried deleting that file and changing the in game settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is this really a texture problem or is it just me?
