Hi, I have the same problem with sinking nose wheel of the SMS 747. It is too bad, SMS Overland is a "light weight" plane, looking really great in FSX and.... I had it working once before. Now after reinstalling, nose wheel dips down again and I can't remember what I did before to fix it. Changing contact point number makes it even worse. Enjoying Posky's 747 until I find some way to fix the SMS747. Have a great weekend

Thank you for sharing your expertise

Thank you for your input dogdish. in case of FSX here the blurry ones are the FSPXAI aircraft repaints in large 2048/5 mb .dds formats. They appear blurry here when viewed from some distance. They look fine up close but deteriorate as the distance increases. I am reading everywhere that DDS/DXT5 format is considered better for overall performance and quality but it seems is not the case here with repaints for FSPXAI models. So I guess for now I will keep rescaling/resizing all problematic textures and look around for older AI models and DXT3 textures which seem to display perfectly fine in my setup.

Hi everyone, I am not sure if this is something that belongs to FSX thread or perhaps I should redirect my FSX "story" to hardware related section, but I thought I would try here first: I am noticing annoying artifact with my PC displaying blurry .dds textures on some of the FSX models (esp FXAI and RFSL). I also noticed that slashing texture sizes by half pretty much eliminates the problem. But it seems odd to me that fairly modern PC (Intel Core i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz, GeForce RTX 2080 etc etc) is having an issue with handling 5mb texture files that are now distributed pretty much as a standard size of many repaint packages. Is something wrong with my settings or maybe there is a general tweak eg in Nvidia settings that might be worth trying instead of rescaling every 5mb repaint texture file one by one? Thank you Rafal

Good point...thank you. I should do that too. I remember well my frustrations and all that time it took to restore fs9 + addons many years ago!

Great suggestion, thank you Chuck, I will definitely check what this tweaked .cfg file does and let you know. Best Rafal

Thank you CRJ_, I will give it a try

Hello everyone, This is an old topic discussed many times before, but this matter is not quite clear to me as I am very likely interpreting contact point numbers incorrectly or not quite understanding what does what and was written on this topic so far. What I am trying to do is to tweak contact points for Eric Cantu's B732 to make it sit on the ground a bit more leveled instead of dipping forward. Is there a way to "compress" the main gear a bit more? Thank you! Regards Rafal
