Really Bad Graphics

[ardypilot]

Ok, so I just started up my sim, thought everything had been fixed by the IT guys at NFC for my tour.

I am climbing over Wellington harbour and notice all my textures look like utter crap:




I have not changed a single FS9 setting. Why is this happening to me? How can I fix this?

I tried to create a before and after shot to show the difference between my old and new graphics card:


(note, the first shot has a 15% sharpen filter from photoshop)

What really annoys me at the moment:
-The textures in the distance are always blurry.
-I get really low FPS with the same settings at my old card.
-My moniter flickers between each screen in fs2004 (map, create a flight, loading) and FSNAV takes ages to load.

Can anyone help?

Wow... something bad has happened, thats for sure. Make sure your mip map setting is at 4 on the FS2004 options menu. Also make sure your Teture filtering is set to highest.

Drag out the Auckland City manual and have a go at the 'Reckless tweaks.'
These can help overcome the distant blurries.

Ah ha, since I created a brand new .cfg, that was something I forgot to re change. Thanks for the tip.

I did what the booklet said, and started up the sim. I still have the blurries, but further in the distance and not as noticable, yet still noticable. They where not there before I swapped graphics cards...

In the Display settings how do you have your clouds?
Clouds are one of the most taxing on your graphics card i think and if you have all those settings pulled rite back and on "simple clouds" you may get better frames

Also try putting all the 3d objects off and you may be able to have better res ground textures.

Good luck

Sorry to sound rude, but no way should I have to turn my display settings down after upgrading my graphics card!

In the before and after shots, it almost looks like you've got different scenery installed. The after shot looks like you have no lanclass installed or something.

Both shots are taken using VOZ landclass and waterclass textures, as well as the 'Koorby Clouds 1' weather theme.

yes I'd have to agree. The shots show different scenery. The coastlines are different and so are the roads.

Turn VOZ off and see if that fixes it, I've heard of it really screwing up people's set-up's (when they are flying outside of AU) and them worrying about it before just realising that they forgot to turn it off.
