FSX Cannot See Trucks, Jetways, AI From A Larger Distance

**danionow** · 06-20-2010, 08:09 PM

Hello everyone,
I've got an issue that irritates me a lot. The problem is that when Im in an aircraft, I cannot see objects like tow trucks, jetways, even AI planes from a far distance. I have to get really close to them in order for it to be visible, I do not mean a very large distance so you don't think I want to see trucks from 30,000ft above but maybe few hundred feet.I used to be able to see it from pretty far but now I'm not something happened. I've set level of detail radius to large but didn't help. Is there anything to modify in fsx.cfg that would increase the range ? Thank you in advance. Please help

If you don't know what I mean and want to help ill attach pics in next one.

Hi,

What are your computer details?

**danionow** · 06-21-2010, 02:14 PM

well, 4 gigs RAM, ATI Radeon 2600 HD PRO Graphics card, Win Vista Home Premium 32bit, lot of space on hard drive and I think thats it. Ill post pictures of my problem later on so you have an idea what I mean. Thanks

Ok, so on the first picture u see the terminal but no gates or ai planes(even though they should be seen and I did see objects from further not too long ago). On the second picture as I flew just a few feet, the gates and ai show up. When I use slew to move back a little they disappear again. Is there any way to extend that range ?

Hi,

I think it's your computer not being able to handle all the detail. Turn down some other settings and see what happens. Start with Auto-gen off.

Did you edit the cfg with a "small part reject radius" tweak?

**danionow** · 06-21-2010, 06:12 PM

JSkorna,thanks for suggestion, Ill try it, thank you and Foxtrot789 thanks for reply also.Well, I've seen this line in fsx.cfg file but i didnt know what number shall I put in there, whats the range of this like from 0 to 10 ?

**Foxtrot789** · 06-21-2010, 07:20 PM

I think the number represents amount of pixels it will ignore - this tweak had an effect on my "flyby" shots most noticeably, the plane would only be in the view for about half the chase time, if it was far away I wouldnt see it. I think I was cocky though and had it at like 4 or 5. Additionally I don't think this even works depending on which Service Packs you have installed. You could try just deleting that line from your cfg though, I did.

SUCCES Thank you Foxtrot789, works perfectly

, thats what I needed. Trucks, Jetways etc show up from large distance. Also, thank you JSkorna for suggestions on it. Thank you both for replying so fast, if not you I would probably reinstall fsx with it not working at the end, so again Thank you so much.
