hutch3184 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi, just wanted to be sure that roads in my FTX are displaying properly, as they seem to look very blurry to me. Here is a screenshot of Nepean Hwy: Of course, if that is correct, then so be it, but just wanted to be sure. Just let me know if you need any more info as I'm new to this. Thanks!

Martin Lott Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi and Welcome. Try this. Go into the FSX Settings menu and under the Scenery Tab move the Texture resolution slider all the way right to 7cm. The ground textures will remain at 1-m resolution but the vector textures (roads, railroads, shorelines, etc.) are all in 7cm resolution and should now show at much more detail.

hutch3184 Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks for your quick reply Buzzm. I tried your suggestion and it's helped it a bit, at least I can see white lines on the roads now! The speed of my computer may be hampering it though, I've got a AMD 64 4000+, 7800GT, 2Gig Ram. Maybe it's time for an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Lott Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Glad to see it worked ok. If you haven't already done so I strongly advise you apply the tweaks listed in the FTX AU BLUE User Guide and these ones as well from this post. http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?topic=1842.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Your Anisotropic filtering is not set correctly, which will result in blurries. Ensure that the filtering option is set to Anisotropic and that you setup your FSX options as per my guide in the user manual. There are also some tweaks posted in the FAQ section of this forum.

demaz Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 This is exactly how my roads look(see "strange road textures" post). Pretty awful. Just wondering if you found any fix or is this the best we can expect....cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Again, check that your anisotropic filtering is set to AFx16 both in your graphics card control panel and also enabled as the filter in FSX. Also, the road textures are actually 7cm/pixel, so if you drag your texture resolution slide in FSX to 7cm they will appear much crisper. Changing that slider will not impact the performance of the sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
