Tried your suggestion.

First, no refresh..



Paused...

Then I refreshed and waited 10 min for this shot.




still paused...

Then I walked away and came back 78 minutes later and took this shot.


In FS9, I can't get clear scenery accept right under the aircraft no matter what I do. I actually gave up on it long ago.

Bizarre

Have you tried the LOD_RADIUS tweak in the FS9.cfg ?

EDIT:
TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=9.500000
TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=4.50000
TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=1 or 4.
Also TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=400

Try this....

Ahh yes, the scenery cfg. That's a story in itself. But, to make a long story short, this is the scenery cfg. The results are quite dramatic....keeps close and distant scenery in razor sharp focus..

. Backup your current working FS9.CFG first!!!(found at C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9)

TERRAIN_ERROR_FACTOR=100.000000
TERRAIN_MIN_DEM_AREA=10.000000
TERRAIN_MAX_DEM_AREA=100.000000
TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=21
TERRAIN_TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=8
TERRAIN_AUTOGEN_DENSITY=5
TERRAIN_USE_GRADIENT_MAP=1
TERRAIN_EXTENDED_TEXTURES=1
TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=8.500000
TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=8.500000
TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=1242456

Also make sure that the visibility is set around 30-40 km with 99999ft celling

Last and not least I think.... you can manually refresh scenery....

It indeed looks like you need to fiddle around with your fs9.cfg ...

I did and it helps. Thanks everyone who contributed.

Works for me!

That's what we're here for

I edited these two lines in the fs9.cfg and now get these results.

TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=8.500000
TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=8.500000



Is there a way to get this without editing the cfg? I find it hard to believe that anyone would build a game where these results are possible but can only get there by editing the cfg.

Again, thanks.

good looking shot after your tweek....which CFG file do you edit.... i look through scenery, terrain, old scenery, display...and i could not find the parameters  to change with what clipper and daube suggested....maybe i just don't see it lol

I am always amazed that our "Flight Simulator" Chums expect to be able to see clearly, hundreds of miles into the distance... ...!

During my real flights up into the Blue in our Club's Cessna 152's, I notice that I can rarely see more than a couple of miles, reasonably clearly, into the distance!

Beyond that, everything is blurred in Mist, Fog, low Cloud, Smoke, Dust, Sun-glare, and general atmospheric pollution!

For realistic Sim Flying, I always set my visibility between 5 to 10 Miles (or even less), and adjust my Weather Settings to suit!

I can rarely see more that a couple of miles

Did it ever occur to you Paul, that you might need a pair of spectacles? 8-)
