Are the markings on the aircraft supposed to be blurred and unreadable when the game is played straight from the box?

If so, where can I download freeware scenery and markings?

Hi,

My mate used to have FS2002 and he did not experience the problem. I think it is a problem with your system

I used to have the same problem with FS2004. The aircraft would be blurred and the ground textures and buildings would also be blurred.

Get yourself a graphics card to sort the problem.

Cripes, you really have to wonder sometimes why people bother replying when they don't know what they are talking about ! For goodness sake don't go out an buy a new graphics card !

It sounds like a graphics setting - I'm pretty sure it's mip mapping, the key is to change one setting at a time and see if it has any affect.

Hope this helps !

Thanks for the advice chaps.
I admit to being suprised at being told to get a graphics card.............
Seems that if you take the time to look at the video settings, things improve no end.......I'll get my coat...... :o

Don't worry about it - I guess the wide variety of hardware configurations mean that the default FS2002 settings wont work perfectly for everyone out of the box. It's amazing how much improvement you can make by carefully and logically experimenting with the graphics settings. There's a wealth of infomation on some of the specialised flight sim sites that will help.
