• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hello,
someone can understand why,from many days ago,when I start a flight,
after few minutes,terrain textures vanish and reappear only if I click Alt or right mouse,but not with P,and disappear again if I continue the flight ?
Thanks......Bruno

Hi,

Blurry textures are a difficult problem and can have many causes.

The first thing I would check is the addons you are using. Having sceneries with textures without mipmaps for example can give such issues. It is best to have mipmaps in all your textures.
 
Thank you Arno,
I'll check all the textures of my addons and their mipmaps if existing.

Hi Arno,
I checked with Image Tool the textures of my addons(my customed hometown airport,other objects of same area)
and added mipmaps where not existing,then converted to DXT1.At last,in addon scenery,
I disabled the pack of EZ scenery objects (452 Mb).Now it seems that blurries don't appear.
Any other suggestion will be appreciated.
Thank You......Bruno

One of the cause of blurries is that system resources are being used for "something else"

This would include rendering a stack of autogen or model files. Eclectic libraries of objects are may be made from numerous separate materials and textures, and hence a plethora of drawcalls can be unleashed if they have been liberally applied to an area.

Another blurry cause is that Windows is virus checking, indexing or otherwise occupying your HDD.

I used to get this developing late at night ... as my virus checker would kick-in at 1:00am, causing me to believe that I had somehow crippled the scenery I was working on.
