ACTIVE No improvement?

[Arie]

I'm trying out ftx global with the iceland demo, but now that I've got it all installed, I can hardly see any difference. It looks pretty much like it did before and it doesn't look like it does on your screenshots at all (http://www.fullterrain.com/product_ftxgiceland.html). Why is that? Any ideas?

 

I've enabled ftx in the fsx's scenery tab and I've got quite high values for the scenery setting:

Level of detail radius: large

Mesh complexity: 75

Mesh resolution: 5m

Texture resolution: 30cm

Water effects: high 2.x

land detail textures: on

Scenery complexity: very dense

Autogen complexity: very dense

special effect detail: high

Some screenshots would be nice to see what you have.

Just to clarify

Did you install the iceland demo before or after global?

Also a screenshot

I'm sorry, I'm new to this. How do you upload screenshots?

 

@Ken Hall, I've installed the off version

Here is how to post a screenshot to the forums:

It appeared that i had entered the wrong screen resolution in fsx, so entering the right resolution already improved it a lot. This is a screenshot of mine:

It looks a lot better than before now.

Would this be a normal screenshot or do you think there's still something wrong with my set up?

 

Thanks in advance!

That does not show us a lot except a wilderness area in Autumn or Winter. 

 

Try a flight from BIRK Reykjavik airport and also pull back your zoom level to 0.30 for much crisper texture drawing, then show us some screenshots.

Did you open FTX Central and make sure FTX Global is the active region?

I did open de FTX Central, but where can you see if FTX Global is the active region?

From your screenshots I would say that what you are seeing is correct, however your textures are very blurry and dull. What are your computer specifications? Particularly your processor and graphics card.

 

Turn your water setting down to Mid 2X to ease the load on your system and make sure your texture resolution slider is all the way up. The blurry textures typically occur when there is too much stress on your computer and it cannot load the textures properly in time.

That could really well be the case. I've got an i3 at 2,4gHz, which isn't really good. I bet it's time for a new computer.

Just to clear things up, hit the pause button and let the graphics catch up when its at its sharpest then take another screen shot. Try to get the imediate airport area in the shot as this will be easily recognised.
