P3D V3 Blurry Textures

Hi, I'm receiving bad blurry textures from P3D V3, I've a i5 4690k and GTX 970 and a untouched P3D.cfg as I have done a complete reinstall of windows earlier to see if it would fix the blurries but it did not. Any ideas?

Looks entirely normal to me. You're not considering slant angle range...

 

Have you defragged the HD (assuming the scenery/sim is not on an SSD)?

 

An untouched .cfg implies mid-settings for the sliders. YOU need to optimise the sliders for YOUR sim experience.

Thanks! I will try a defrag now and see if it helps

I agree with mallcott that it looks normal, or at least I can't see any blurries.

I fixed it, done a defrag and unfortunately it did not help, however I went to my cfg and added FFTF to 0.4 and AM to 14 and, now all textures are crisp! Thanks!

Hi dquigg503

 

Could you please tell me where do you put these tweeks into the cfg file and what is the exact name for these as I am getting blurries as well?

 

Many thanks

John

Hi John, I my cfg is below, either use it or take the tweaks from it, 'Fibre frame time fraction' is under 'Main' and Affinity Mask is under 'Job Scheduler'.

Thanks dquigg503, I'll give it a go.

Don't. His .cfg reveals anomalies against his claims to have an `unmolested` example, and settings visible in what he did supply provide good explanation of his `issues`- solvable without the need for tweaking.

 

Post your own topic, supply system specs, and a copy of your own .cfg and we can provide specific advice that is relevant for your needs, not some guesstimate based on `hit and hope`...

Mallcott, yes I stated in my original post that I have an untouched .cfg, however whilst I was searching for a solution to my blurries, I then tweaked my .cfg and it resolved my issue. I was asked by johnbla about the tweaks I made, so I provided him with my .cfg, the .cfg with the tweaks that eradicated my problems

FFTF default value of 0.33 is too high for P3D, it is choking it. 0.1 is still high, I set mine to 0.5 so 0.4 makes sense. Many people like 0.01, good performance but horrible display.

The valid ranges of FFTF are 0.10 - 0.99

 

The value of 0.01 defaults to the nearest - 0.10.
