Settings for the best (or very good) aircraft textures

Postby Gringo6 » Tue May 22, 2012 8:08 pm

Somewhere on this site are some recommendations of settings that produce the best (or at least very good)
textures on aircraft.

I've gotten mine all out of whack and everything (or almost
everything) is fuzzy and unclear.

Where are they ?

You have to select the "anisotropic" filtering mode in the game options (although I don't remember anymore if FS9 proposed it or not, it's been a while...)
Then you have to ensure that your video drivers are properly configured, especially regarding the anisotropic filtering settings and the texture filtering setting (must be on "quality" or "best quality", not on "performance" or "best performance).

I might dissagree with Daube here.
That depends on what gpu/system you have. Nvidia/ati
I would set my sim on anisotropic, x16 af, x8 aa, and let your gpu program run on program.

Make sure your Global Texture setting is on Massive.
