Simviation Forums

Hi guys recently i purchased a 2500$ computer and was hoping to get killer graphics on it. But to my dissapointment, i don't see them. Some members of this forum posts killer screenshots (not edited) and i was wondering what shoul i edit to get the same quality:

My system:

AMD athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core processor 3800+  2.01Ghz
2GB od RAM
120GB HD
NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT 256mb video card.(88.12 driver installed-latest)

Please help, as i'm very sad now

Turn everything to max, except MIP Mapping and thats that.... FS defualt isnt exactly fantastic looking, I suggest payware such as Flight environment for clouds, FS Genesis for Mesh and Bill Lyons Water textures. As for the rest, its the FS Engine itself.... Cheers! Hope this can be of some help, Gunny

EDIT: post some screenshots in the forums and let us see what it looks like.... and if need be I can send you shots of what my FS looked like before and after a graphics upgrade!

can you specify the place to use as screenshot :a airport or a town to compare my and your graphics

Try downtown Seatle (KSEA) Cheers, Gunny

here it is: as you can see it is far from peak graphics



P.S. also i don't know if it's like this for everyone but my terrain flashes here and there. Do you get the same thing?

Looks amazing man! heres one of mine (Several actually) I wouldnt be complaining if I were you, Defualt on your machine is beautiful, Some add ons might help though well here are mine









Sorry about it being in windowed mode, My Power supply is on its edge and wont run FS Propperly full screen, but the add ons are, Flight environment, Ultimate terrain USA, FS atmosphere, and FS Genesis. Freeware is Bill lyons water textures, and muddy rivers and streams (If the mods feel it should, please move this post) Cheers, Gunny!

oh man how did you make the water look like that. My water is just ugly. Please help.

http://www.simviation.com/fs2004scenery11.htm very bottom of the page, The muddy stuff (wich is streams, inland lakes, and rivers) is on avsim I'll find it if I can, Cheers, Gunny

EDIT: Oooops wrong link http://www.simviation.com/fs2004scenery4.htm 3rd one down

thanks for all your help gunny i apreciate it  ;) but i have one last question (well two actually)

First do you think these screenshots are edited or it's just like this for him http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/ ... 1135473210

second do you get a terrain flashes here and there when flying your fs9?

No they arent edited, well scenery and mesh is found here on simvi or at avsim look around, or just bust out the wallet and go to http://portal.fsgenesis.net/ 10 bucks a huge area not bad..... glad to be of help, I gotta see what my card can do when she has enough power to feed her! Cheers, and happy simming! Gunny

Edit: Need anything else just ask I'm sure somebody will respond.... especially if you see something you like  ;D Happy Holidays!

I would recommend silver wings.  It will update all your scenery and it will look amazing, you also have the system to run it well!

Second one down.

Then get FS skyworld 2004. Probably flightsim will be the best place for that.  Then set-up all your clouds etc.  Your sim will look stunning after that.

thanks delta will sure try it



[EDIT] WOW!!! really like the new ground texture. All those trees and all, amazing, Thanks you very much delta. Sky world is amazing also.
