Hello altogether.
After having bought a new computer, I wanted to return to the virtual skies and now I'm back to business :) For the first time I use FSX instead of FS9.
Here are my specs:
i7 3770k @3,5GHz (Turboboost up to 3,9GHz) with Coolermaster watercooling, 16GB RAM, GTX 680 2GB GPU, SSD for the OS and a WD Caviar black 1TB for the FSX.
I installed several basic addons such as UTX, Landclass and GEX and defragmented the HD after every installation with UltimateDefrag 4.
First I thought, that GEX would not be correctly installed as I saw no difference between default textures and GEX, but then I compared my sim to the screenshots of GEX and had to determine that all my ground textures look like a brown soup:
I tried several tweaks, for example LOD-Radius. When I increased this one to 8.50, the textures were better, but as soon as I changed my heading the sim was stuttering (locked at 50fps).
No mattet what I try, I can't get my system to look like the following screenshot:
As my system is rather high-end, I don't think it's a lack of performance.
Any help or hints are highly appreciated!!
Best regards from Switzerland
