If all your settings are maxed. It will stop wild flickering on the ground while still having MIP mapping at full.


Actually thats only because you have turned up anti ailiasing on your graphics card and put on anistropic filtering because whilst without any of these you can have a mip map of 45 with no flickering you can have 4x Anti ailiasing and 4x Anistropic Filtering and no flicker at a mip map of 7

I changed my settings in the fs9.cfg to those ages ago.  Simply to load textures quicker which the first tweak does and works, and also improve image quality which the second 2 do.

However setting the control panel settings to that is a bit pointless if you just improved the IQ in the fs9.cfg.  Leave the control panel settings on high. ;)

So what you are saying is modify the CFG file as specified, correct? I'm a little heasatant adjusting my settings  i have full ground textures and low weather textures and it runs around 17-19 FPS on my LAPTOP! ha ha!  but if those tweaks will REALLY work i may try them.
