Guess What ?

Postby Anthindelahunt » Fri Mar 16, 2018 3:46 pm

My computer fried itself. Bit by bit I am trying to
get everything back. I had to get a new hard drive.

I won't be simming for a while.

Anyway,I'll be back.

I know the feeling. I just had to replace my hard drive on my Studio XPS (New drive is 2TB). Thankfully, I archived most of my add-ons on an external HD. Restoring everything is still a pain in the arse, though. But it does give the opportunity to pare down the bits that I hardly ever used, like add-ons I downloaded, flew once, then promptly forgot about... :P

I clone my drives...just in case. All I have to is switch drives and I'm back in business in minutes.

Let us know what they say about those trees. I wonder what could make them blurry? Are you sure your glasses are clean? :lol:

Have you looked the anti aliasing settings

I use Anisotropic and tick the anti aliasing box

Hi, if this is your first time with ORBX scenery, keep at it. When all is well you should really enjoy your flying with the new beautiful scenery. Good luck with this.

I have been using Orbx scenery from day one.
Never had a problem.I have a sneaking suspicion
that it is a hardware problem.
Thanks for the reply Flacke.
