Blurry Texture Blues

I've tried to read up on this but I'm not exactly sure what causes it; Not sure if it's an FS2004 issue or a Graphics card issue.

 

It doesn't happen all the time; but most of the time and only at this particular airport (it's OJAM with a scenery enhancement that I made and am currently working on).

 

I've edited the FS9.cfg file and changed the TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT from 40 to 400. What else can I do?

Google flight simulator blurries

 

There is a small phone book's worth of info about this.

Thanks for the tip. I actually did research it and pretty much did everything that was suggested. Sadly, the blurries still haunt my simming time.

 

I haven't read this anywhere but does the computer's power supply have anything to do with how things operate? The reason I ask is that my Viao's (desktop) original graphics card was swapped out for the more powerful one that I currently have on there. The computer itself is about two years old, so I'm suspecting the maybe the graphics card isn't getting the amount of power it needs to do things effectively.

 

Is that something that's possibly a problem? Or am I just thinking way too technically for such a simple problem?

 

Any advice would be awesome!

You say it's only happening at an airport where you are making custom scenery?

 

Cheers!

Yessir, that's correct.

It would stand to reason, therefore, that the problem is somehow related to that.

 

Cheers!

Luke's on it there. It stands to reason that maybe your poly count is too high with your new scenery, reducing the amount of time FS has for clarifying textures.

I did consider that possibility; however, I sent the scenery to quite a few people and none of them have reported any "blurries" as a result of the scenery's use. I'm suspecting it's a more "local" problem as both computers that I use have Nvidia cards, though I'm not going to conclude that it's the cause. Probably just a factor.

 

If anyone is willing to test the scenery out for me and give me some feedback, that'd be awesome!

There are a half billion things that affect blurries in FS. I don't think it's that your card is NVidia, but I rather suspect your computer configuration and fs.cfg settings are different than those folks.
