That is how mine looked too. Windowed mode for Vatsim. :wacko: Here is my current fs9.cfg. Where would you suggest trying it again? [DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX+.0] Mode=1680x1050x32 TriLinear=1 TextureAGP=0 MipBias=6 [DISPLAY] UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=0 TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=120 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=1.2 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=1.0 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=1.0 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=1.5 [TERRAIN] TERRAIN_ERROR_FACTOR=25.000000 TERRAIN_MIN_DEM_AREA=10.000000 TERRAIN_MAX_DEM_AREA=100.000000 TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=19 TERRAIN_TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=8 TERRAIN_AUTOGEN_DENSITY=4 TERRAIN_USE_GRADIENT_MAP=1 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_TEXTURES=1 TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=9.500000 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=9.000000 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=1 Not sure I follow, care to ellaborate? I had this issue on my old rig as well as my new one. My new rig is a fresh install of everything (I did copy my old LDS 767 folder over after installing the LDS 767 fresh). Had I not had this issue on my old fs computer (that is now my work computer), I would agree but something is wonky here. I never noticed it before Feb 2012 but then had to do a fresh install of flight sim on my old computer (it was time) and in the process I upgraded to ASE. Since then this problem persists. I installed ASE first on my new computer and have since tried ASv6.5 (currently use), REX, and now FSRGW. BTW, my FS computer is only for FS. PFPX is on my work computer right next to it :Whistle: Right now I use an external FPS limiter to try to smooth out the Vsync issue in windows mode BTW. I'd ultimately love to go back to ASE since it was had very current WX, DWC made the FS wind bug gone, and it eliminated the FS haze issue (we all know the one). But the flicker every minute was just to much for me.

Yes I tried it..... the only thing I didn't do was have it right under that line (I had a few lines down in that section). I just wonder if I need to place it directly under [DISPLAY.Device]? Something is fishy here since it is working for everyone else :(

Bump..... Anyone else have any ideas? I can restore the videos if you need them. I bumped this b/c I had my hopes really high for FSGRW but after testing the trail. I'm still getting this issue. The PanelAsTextutre=0 doesn't work for me either. I think I've narrowed it down to the end of the weather update with these engines if that helps. Thanks, Gary

Nope.... my FS computer is only for FS. I fixed my .agn issue btw. So I guess I'll just let this topic head out to pasture since the blurry issue can't seem to be fixed. Thanks to everyone for the wonderful help ^_^

This is what I'm thinking...... all of my AGN files are gone in my current system and it says "Date Last Modified is May 27, 2013." When I compare it to my logbook for fs9 work, that is the day I installed then removed GE Pro. So I can be reasonably assume it was GE Pro that removed all the .agn files. So I was thinking of making a copy, comparing the two folders, and then pasting. I guess I want to know before I do it if it will casue any registry issues or whatnot. I don't think so since the folder and .agn files are not tied to a registry path but just got to make sure. Thanks for for the Acronis suggestion. I have it on my current regular PC (old FS PC). It is nice but I don't want it on my W7 machine. Keeping that very vanilla. Gary

Do you (or anyone for that matter) know if I install a vanilla copy of FS on another PC, could I transfer over the entire Scenery/World/Texture folder to re-generate the AGN files and not having any issues? I really want to avoid running any type of repair over my actual FS9 install to avoid any possible issues/conflicts that might arise nor do I want to lose any current AGN files/textures already in the World/Texture folder tied to third party airports (I think it is only Latin VFR and FSDT files since those are the only ones I had to run the installer for compared to what I do with my others). Thanks in advice, Gary http://forum.avsim.net/topic/350994-autogen-building-clustering/

Let me set the record straight since I think it is my fault b/c I didn't explain fully. My CPU isn't struggling. As you can see in the video, when I set it unlimited it was blasting thru 80+ FPS in the LDS767 2d panel at this add-on airport. It was pushing well over 150 FPS at default airports. Temps are great and it is a brand new (Nov/2012) AMD 965. My issue is that over the past few days, this funny behavior started when I connected to vatsim using SB3. The only thing I do that others might not is I drag the fs9.exe over all 4 CPUs. I know it doesn't do anything really but I've noticed some benefit. The SB3 issue I brought up is not the same issue. I still have the blurry to clear pop when offline. My issue that I was talking about is the drop in FPS that just started. None the less I've put a work-around on it for now; not ideal but it puts my mind at ease until I can dig a bit deeper. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let me ask one more question (I think I already know the answer). I have my AutoGen on MAX and my FS has almost no AutoGen buildings/trees outside the general area of the airport. I've installed and un-installed REX and GE Pro II and I have a sneaking feeling that one of those products edited the AutoGen out. This is how it should look but as you can see in my video, I have none of that. Any ideas? How to fix? I think once I get the AutoGen issue fixed, I can put this topic to rest since basically everything has been fixed or accounted for. Thanks, Gary

OK another update. I got my FS running to my general liking. Using some NickN tweaks have seemed to make the blurry much better. I've left AF as application controlled for now because that blurry to clear pop is still there. I think I'm starting to be happy with these NickN settings overall. But if it isn't one this it is another...... I first though it was a AF/AA conflict (post #37 // #2) but now that isn't the case. I've thrown a post up on Vatsim but figured I would throw it out here as well. I think once I get this resolved, I can finally back away from the tweaking game for a while and just enjoy flight sim. http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=67912 Any help would be amazing. Thanks for all the wonderful help so far. I'm almost there! Gary

No joy on anything...... :mad: I guess we've reach the point where I almost have to accept this behavior :blink: Thanks, Gary

I don't run in Full Screen since I fly on vatsim and I don't run Squawk Box inside flight sim because of the known issue of random CTDs. The only known away around this to run Squawk Box outside FS which means windowed mode. Look guys, I've tried everything you've given me; breaking down new barriers is all well and good but when FS turns into a hitch fest, I'll pass. I'm going to try the settings when I land but at this point I'm just so tried :blink: Thanks, Gary

I'll give them a try again..... one thing I have noticed though, with AF turned on, my FPS acts weird. Like it will hold what it is locked at and then drop all the sudden but when I test it at unlimited, there is no issue. I wonder if my GPU just can't handle AF which is why I'm getting this issue. Never had it before with AF off. Gary

@ I've looked thru all those links and I'm not sure what I am suppose to read. Some are saying there is no fix while others say there is no fix but you can push the blurry to clear out of sight. Is that the jist? If I can just get it pushed out of sight, that is all I really want. Please advise. @ I tried those GPU settings (see post #53). I will throw that .cfg in but other then "WideViewAspect=True" I've tried them all before. And yes.... 1 GPU and 2 Monitors for my FS rig. Thanks, Gary Also it is worth noting that I once tried a GTX650 in this system about a month ago as a test to see if it was my GPU. No difference. Update OK... that .cfg did not work since it is built to run in full screen mode.

OK (part 2)..... Dropping the AF setting down to 2X makes the "popping" blurry to clear go away and just a smooth line of blurry to clear but it is still not ideal and still have my fingers crossed that we all can find a fix. At least now I've got a "balance" if you want to call it that and it is not as annoying. Gary

OK.... Those GPU settings did not fix the clear to blurry issue. Almost looked like nothing changed. In addition, FS was stuttering very bad (I assume it is the pre-render setting). Here is a video showing all those settings in action locked at 30FPS. Notice the nasty tearing. The stuttering if from those GPU settings. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151703714753179&l=7175947965957912901

I will try 30 again but when I dropped it back to 28, the nasty tear line went away. It is just not really really "fluid" like it is at 30 but I also don't have the nasty refresh line/tear. Well is there a fix to push that "crisp ~ blurred" out of my sight? I'm getting ready to try @@neumanix settings but just want to see if this is approached from a different angle. There has to be something out there b/c this is quite annoying when flying low. I know this isn't for me but I use AlphaSearcher and like it. I haven't done my entire default FS settings but I run all new sceneries (payware/freeware) through it. So when a freeware scenery stutters I know it isn't missing textures and just poor .bgl coding. Getting ready to try the settings, will advise. Gary
