blurries back and DXT textures taking a while to load?

tonymadge · Post by **tonymadge** » 23 Dec 2007, 19:11

New 8600GT card fitted and all working well, anyway just a thought ... I noticed that if the aircraft has DXT textures they load a lot slower than normal 32 bit ones... so I get a plane with a couple of 32 bit textures showing and a few seconds later the rest pops in (on first view only, not everytime)
So is there a setting in my cfg I can tweak to get the textures to load quicker?? I have a decent video card with 256Mb DDR3 ram so it should cope well..
oh and the blurries are back!!!!
Cheers xsmile

then you pay

seems FS wants me to spend more money but at least I know my kit is up to the task so it must be something in the inards of FS that wants tweaking xwink

Ok blurries are still there hence a new thread re causes.
The DXT issue, well a friend stated that by enabling mips in aircraft cures this I have mipped one plane and true enough it seems to cure it!! sadly I have hundreds of aircraft and mipping them all is a year long task, wonder if you can download a mipp everything in one go utility?

Thanks guys I have downloaded it and it will save time even if I have to do each plane one at a time, it still saves time. Now the next quest is to cure blurries.... I fear a reinstall of FS but dread that... Also I have read in other threads this does not cure it always.. oh what to do
