scenery in 2004 problems

[andrew 0]

what are the best ways of setting up 2004 so that my scenery renders quicker and be less blurred in the distance and what will autogen do to help this

I'm no expert here so it might be worth for someone else to post before trying it out, but!

Try turning on extended terrain textures as I think this stops blurries far into the distance as it loads more of the scenery. If the scenery isn't loading quick enough, try turning down the auto-gen density as this should improve performance as FS sin't having to load as much auto-gen

Have you seen any of this? http://www.flightsimworld.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=28865

I can't say how good the tips are, but there is some stuff about textures so it might help you.

TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=400 is one of the better setting to use in the config file.

hi

wefre will i find the cfg file and how do i open it i am using vista

In Vista you can find your fs9.cfg at C:Users%YOURUSER%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftFS9

You may have to enable show hidden folders to see it.

And remember, if you're planning on tinkering aroud with the cfg file, BACK UP! just to easy to screw something up.

And good luck :great:

And if you can't open it, just right click and select open as.. and pick notepad.

is there any chance of pointing me in the right direction to this setting

thanks

It should be there in the fs9.cfg file in the [DISPLAY] section and is probably set to 40. Just do a search in the file for "MULT"

If it is not there then add it to the [DISPLAY] section.

Sorry to but in...

I believe the destination for Vista is:

My Computer/Local Disk (:C)/Users/{your username}/Application Data/ Microsoft/FS9 (or FSX).

'Documents and Settings' is Users in Vista!

I am not really 100% sure what you mean by this.

Try putting the MIP Mapping quality to 6,7 or 8 in the Display/Hardware settings in FS.

This may fix your problem but can cause sparkling and flickering textures,

Cheers,
