Not Impressed with Portland Intl


Recommended Posts

Having seen this addon from many screenshots and advertisments, I decided I had to have it. When I first flew with it installed, I was very unimpressed...

Perhaps these screenshots will show what I mean...

There is a huge difference in these shots. Here ar my settings...

...Perhaps some of you could help with some solutions

Help appreciated!

Tap,

 

You'll think I'm being a smart-arse here, but I'm not. I don't really see a great difference between the two shots. Maybe that's why some of you guys are so good at edits and I don't even try them. If you're seeing a huge difference, your eye must be better trained than mine.

 

My eyes say you're looking for fly manure in the pepper.

The difference is the fact that my shot blurs from a very short distance, whereas the other shot blurs from a much further distance and keeps its realistic outline for a much further distance, mine blurs it into harsh zig zagged edges very close to where I am flying and doesn't give much a realistic boost.

Hi Tap,

Perhaps as Dave says you are trying to get the max sharpness out of it rather than using a visibility setting.

They could be using a registered FSUIPC with has a gradual visibility setting?

Hey Tap.

As you probably know i fly from KPDX alot and must say i've come across no blurries. In fact this has to be one of the sharpest sceneries i own. I don't have registered FSUIPC and run on full settings within FS9. My grpahics are 7900GTX set to 8xAA and 16xAS at 1280x1024, although sometimes i use 8xAS but makes no difference to the sharpness of textures that close.

To say your unimpressed with the scenery is a little harsh as to me its clear you have an issue that others do not. I will have a poke about and see if i can find anyone with a similar problem.

:Edit: After a few searches i found hardly anyone with this kind of problem and the only one i could find, solved his problem with a driver upgrade.

Thanks for all your replies.

I am sure you will all be pleased to hear that I have fixed this fault, having followed some of the "OptimizedFS" on their webpage. I now only have one more problem with the product...and that is the bright lights that appear by the terminal. I am not sure if this is normal but this screenshot will explain the symptoms...

Are these lights normally this bright? Please post your views!

Thank you for your help!

Wishing you a Happy New Year,

Mutley,

I am only using Ground Environment, I am quite sure that wouldn't have any effect on the lights, so it must be something else, I shall check the website's forum.

Thanks for the reply :wink:

Best Regards,

How Strange... I restarted FS and everything was back to normal, no bright lights! It seems everything is running smoothly. As soon as I have more traffic installed I might aswell have a quick wizz around and take a few screenies! Thanks for all the help guys... :wink:

Regards,

Tap
