Try going to the "Spot" view and using your "+" key zoom in on the airplane then zoom back out with the "-" key. Does the textures get sharper? If so you will need to download DXTbmp from here at SimV and remove the MIPs from your textures. This is an issue with some video cards. I had the problem when I first got FS2004 on a GForce4.
