Mipmaps...

Postby Dr.bob7 » Wed May 07, 2008 6:14 pm

the other day garryrussel said that turning mipmaps off gets rid of blurriness in repaints, im using the default DDS Files for FSX i turned mipmaps off on 1 file and the texture wouldnt show, what do i need to do?

Ive been faffing with dxt.bmp over the past few days, and although i took garrys advice by unchecking the mips box before resaving, i havent dealt with DDS - so i dont really know why it wont work :(

No problems with the format im using though...

I cant figure out how to turn off mips. Im working in fs2004 so the files type is a bitmap. I unselected use dither with enhanced mip under prefs in dxtbmp before I saved my picture. The textures still come out extemely blurred.

That  did occur to me that you might have an earlier version

Get the latest and that should be you sorted :)
