TapA321 0 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hi chaps, Finally got my new PC up and running and FSX (SP2). It works wonderfully! The only problem I'm having with FSX is that some of the terrain textures appear blotchy and from a distance, some look a bit pixel-like. I think I saw a thread somewhere (perhaps on this forum) about this, so maybe people will know what I am talking about. If not, I'll post a screenshot. Any help appreciated, George Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,488 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hi George, Make sure you have the Global Texture Resolution set to Very High in the Graphics tab of the options menu or possibly the LOD (Level of Detail) radius set to Large in the Scenery tab.

TapA321 0 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Hi Mutley, Global Texture Resolution is already set to very large as is the LOD set to Large I'll post a screenshot when I next get the chance to go on FSX Cheers, George Link to post Share on other sites
TapA321 0 Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hey Mutley, This is what the problem looks like: It only happens in a few areas, with a few of the land textures. One place is the start of the mission "Introduction to Mountain Flying". Cheers, George Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,488 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 That's not good, do you have any other scenery installed yet and does it only happen in missions? I am going so have a look and see what it is like on mine, got to go out now so will have a look later. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
TapA321 0 Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I'm very confident that it isn't my PC, because it happened on my other PC too. I never really played FSX, though, so I didn't bother to do anything about it. Haven't done many free flights yet, but now that you mention it - I have only noticed it in missions. No addons installed yet! Cheers George Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,488 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 "Good" news George, I got it too. It's just rubbish scenery. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
TapA321 0 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Thanks for checking that, Joe. "Good" news that it's global. Perhaps something Microsoft should look into though ... it really does ruin the scenery. Cheers, George Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,488 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 What's the chances of that now George? The good thing is I have never seen this before so it must be isolated to the missions. For quality, you should see what I am flying in atm. Madiera X by Aerosoft, I am spending so much time flying and enjoying the scenery I haven't even started to write the review yet Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
TapA321 0 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Good point! I had already looked into a few addons, Madeira X is definately a good choice. Looking forward to that review. But since that excellent review of Alderney by Earth Simulations, that is currently first on my list! :atwc: Thanks again for the help, :blush: George Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I can take a look tonight to see if the texture pack I got corrects the problem even inside a mission. Is the problem in the start of the "Introduction to mountain flying"-misson in a small place, or all over the place so it's easy to spot?? As for must have add-ons, take a look at REX... once I tried it I couldn't be without. Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I had the cappy look when flying the misson too, even with addon textures installed. But flying from the same airfield in free flight the scenery looked as it should. By the looks of the field in question the mission included some add-on scenery in it self, because there were more buildings in the mission, I think..... EDIT: Scratch my last statement... looking closer I realised I was in the other end of the runway, looking the wrong way... It looked a bit better outside the mission, but there were parts that were blotchy even with addon textures... Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,488 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Thanks for looking Micke, The pictures above from George and Me are from different missions, now I am seeing these horrible textures in other missions too, I had just never noticed before. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

But since that excellent review of Alderney by Earth Simulations, that is currently first on my list! Thanks again for the help, George Alderney is in a different league George, it's a shame it is such a small island but there are 6 different texture sets and variable autogen, it doesn't get much better than that!
