Here it is. Pretty bad. Any idea why the ground graphics look like this?
specs on my pc
Windows XP
2.16 GHz processor
2 gig of ram
Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GTX card with 512memory
Mega Scenery installed
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TJBaron,

It looks as though you took a shot without the scenery having time to refresh itself to appear more detailed.

Have a read of this post:

Is this only for fsx or can fs9 play as well?

If so......

Actually this screen shot is exactly what it looks like all the time. All areas. The onlt time it looks any better is at night or at high altitudes.
Is it possible that it may be the mega scenery?

Why are you posting this junk in a screenshot competition?
Start your own thread rather than hijacking someone else.

Please be nice he asked a simple question on how to take a picture and why it turned out so bad, give him time don't just insult him right off the back.

TJbaron, when you have figured out your problem and get a picture you want to use just put it up and tell me it's the one you want to use so i know when it comes time to make the polls thanks Wink

I actually didn't intend that the way it read, sorry about that.
If you post a new thread with an appropriate title you'll get more assistance than a question buried in a screenshot competition thread.


edit.
Thanks for the 2 word Private Message TJ, did you have to get a friend to help pushing all those keys? I retract the apology.

You should push your AA settings up for the sake of the screenie, It will clean all the jaggies off the skids.

Don't mean to sound nosey, but can't you keep that between them and solve the issue privately?

It's nice being part of a site where that junk isnt being tossed around like that.
