Dear Flightsimmers,

 

I have had 4GB of RAM al ready and i decided to top up my RAM with a additional 4GB resulting in a total of 8GB of RAM

However after this procedure i have noticed that everything seems a bit blurry ranging from text next to buttons inside the cockpit to the terminal buildings and offco[Mod - Happy Thoughts] sceneries and ground textures. The clouds are also very blurry.. So what did i do wrong here ?

 

What should i do guys im getting fed up really i can't enjoy the 8GB fully with blurries throughout my FSX

 

Regards,

 

RA

Ramadan,

 

folks can help you better if you post the system specs with OS and other details. XP cannot use more than 3.2 GB for example.

While we are waiting for experts to step in and help, have you already tried removing the new RAM to see if that will reset you to good display as before? The FSX.cfg file has a bunch of settings which might be interpretting something wrong. Save/backup your fsx.cfg and run it thru venetubo.com/fsx.html to see if will help.

That's a good suggestion. It'll help determine if it's caused by the RAM or something else.

 

Cheers!

Thanks for the very fast reply, However i have done the suggestions both and ended up still with blurry textures.

 

The link made a new FSX.cfg first which resolved the issue but then all airports were all blue and flickering so still same problem.

 

I don't know what the problem seems to be ?

 

PS: Charan I can send you my PC Specs and you could make a FSX.cfg for me ?

Hi Ramadan,

 

it's very tedious to make a working fsx.cfg even when working on the computer, it is not possible at all to make one without the computer. What I usually do is read the lines that the web page displays and says its changed, and do them manually. You are right, my first try also ended up with no terminals but just airbridges in FSDT JFK and ORD. So I started doing the changes myself.

 

Use the first fsx.cfg and run it thru the web page again, and make the changes yourself, but one by one. Check your airports everytime. Because if it fixed the blurry textures, it is most likely a calculation of some this with that by that other one multiplied a few times by the last one. It might be taking your RAM into consideration although I can't even guess which one.

Make sure your resolution didn't change to something odd.

Interesting.

By resetting the GPU, exactly what do you mean? I myself am waiting on more RAM to arrive in the mail to bump me up from my insufficient 3gigs, and will be going through the same thing I guess.

 

Did you just literally reset it, as in taking it out and putting it back in, or did you wipe and totally install drivers and all over again ?

 

Thanks for your time.

He probably meant redoing the settings it could even have been a simple case of shifting onelement to a different setting and back again. My preference would have been to upgraded graphics drivers ensuring a reset.

Hey sorry for late reply i haven't checked my posts recently

 

What i have done is i went into the installed drivers of my videocard and i have seen that it has changed since i have added the additional RAM
