Blurry textures and autogen will not load properly

Post by killthespam »

Good day,
My specs are as follow:
Dell 44 @ 3840x2160 30HZ
Intel Core i7-8700K @4.8 GHz, Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti, Samsung 850 Evo 500GB, G.SKILL Trident Z DDR4 3200 64GB,WIN10 PRO 64
P3D config file without any tweaks

In real world we fly into JFK at FL190 inbound LGA and ABM TEB before we get radar vectors for landing in JFK, you can see clear the airport from that distance as well on XP11, unfortunately not on p3dv42.
I'm using this example because I'm familiar regarding what I have to see as a distance to compare to what it should be, and also I can compare with other sim that does it right in this situation.

Now see this picture please at 18 NM inbound JFK blurry KJFK and no airport inside (no airport textures)

And now see this one on xp11 same altitude same distance, this is what we should expect to see.

Would be possible to find a solution regarding this issue please. I tried AM, HT on x off and there is no light at the end of the tunel. I also see lots of people complaining about the same issue.
Any help, advise settings change is very welcome indeed.

Thank you
Alex

You should use at least one tweak to take advantage of your video card, not sure if you have 8 or 11 GB VRAM but try the TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP = 10 tweak to use 8 GB.

Comparisons between XPL and P3D are interesting but gain little... I much prefer having six different seasons so I'll not take the bait.

Thank you Dan,
1080 Ti is 11 GB, unfortunately TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP = 10 did not help.
Re "I much prefer having six different seasons so I'll not take the bait" I see your point and agree, unfortunately from what I see searching the internet customer dissatisfaction with this issue is pretty wide spread.
I bought XP11 after so many years of frustrations and endless updates using Prepar3D v2 Professional since 2013-11-26, forget about how much money I invested in P3D and additional software (that was my choice, to be noted).
Being a real airline pilot I'm using only PMDG 744 (very highly and accurate software), I'm stuck with this and keep on hoping that either P3D will fix this issue or PMDG will do a 744 x 748 for XP11 and call a loss all the money and software invested in P3D.

At the same time I do hope that somebody has a fix for this issue.
Still open for any suggestions folks.

Best regards,
Alex

Dan,

This is with "TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP = 10" where KJFK and Verazano Bridge is not loaded.
