zap51 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I have switched over from FSX to Steam almost a year ago. Since then, I have noticed it takes Orbx scenery a very long time to load up. It looks blurry. I didn't have this problem with FSX. When I flew into a town, all the buildings were loaded and detailed. I can't remember the settings I had on FSX. I have a pic below as an example of what I'm talking about as far as blurry. Any suggestions how to regain smooth loading scenery? Thanks.

Remember also that if you change any display settings directly in the sim the setting above will revert to the default 1024.

jorgen.s.andersen Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Graphics card - get a new nVidia card with at least 4 GB of VRAM on it... CPU - how fast is this CPU? Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never do this on a low-to-middle-end system, it makes things even worse. Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WimIf his system was ok on boxed fsx it should be ok for steam. Surely it has to be a settings issue?

Cheers Stinger Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk I went to my tsx.cfg for TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD and it is already set to 4096. I went to my fsxse.cfg and it's TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD is set to 4096 as well.

jorgen.s.andersen Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 2.8 GHz and ORBX in the same package? I rest my case. Besides upgrading the graphics card, you need a faster CPU as well. Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorgen I agree, not the optimal system. I wish I was in the position to upgrade my PC, especially with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 coming out soon. However, I did have my FSX running at a more than acceptable level with ORBX. None of the issues I am having now. I lowered the target frame rate from unlimited to 30. I also use preview DirectX 10 on and plan to buy the DX10 Scenery Fixer. Hopefully this will make a difference on my next flight. Thanks for your responses.
