Ground detail

[Immelman]

My ground textures and terrain mesh get very blurry when i look at them from far away at an angle.  If I look straight down the detail is somewhat good but when i look at an angle the texture gets blurry and the mesh less detailed.  When i move closer they get clearer a square at a time.  im sure this is called something but this is the only way i know how to describe it.  is there any way to tweak the fs9.cfg file to make the ground clearer at a farther distance?

System specs please?

You have the mip-map quality set to a low level. The higher you set it the less blurry textures will be, however when set to a high level they look grainy. You can change it in FS9, no need to edit the CFG.

I have it set at five, should it be higher?

DAMNIT MAN THE SPECS!!

We really cant give you more than vauge outlines of what to do until we know what we are working with. So heres what I want,

Processer name and speed

Sorry, how would I find out what those are for my computer?

Open up your controol panel, then click system. Right there you can find your total RAM and your XPU name and speed. To find out what graphics adapter you have, click the hardware tab in system, then "Device Manager." When your in there expand your display adapter tab, and thats what your GPU is.

Sorry about that, thanks.

Pentium 4 processor 3.2GHz
1 gig of RAM
Radeon X300 SE 1.28MB HyperMemory built in

Tis what I thought. Its your way underpowerd GPU. The thread Nick posted will only help so much, however when it all comes down to it, your gonna need a better GPU to truely fix the problem. I'm guessing you own a Dell dont you.

yeah, what does that mean

Video card, it's a kinda bad video card for FS. If you have money and any experience with building in you own components i'd say you buy a new card first, now tell us what your budget is.
