Recently during Multiplayer sessions, the aircraft textures go blurrie from a far distance and I have to zoom in to correct them.

Its really annoying and never usually happens, yet it effects all my aircraft from the default 737 to my payware cessnas!

Does anyone know how I can advoid it, in the display settings my aircraft level of detail is set to the max with all the options ticked and I have an nVidia GeForce FX 5600 video card that has 256mb memory!

Thanks

It's the amount of ram (memory) that helps texture rendering, the more you have the quicker the scenery and textures "come on" instead of waiting for them to click on while your watching.

The LOD (level of detail) on some aircraft can stop your computer. I don't have a power-house and a few have given me a slide show.
You may be using much of that ram on programs running in the background.

Have you tried this program yet.

Personally i would close quit alot of those background files whilst running flight sim. I Would definitely close msn messenger, screenhunter, itunes, ipodservice and internet explorer. Basically i would close everything that appears when i run task manager to make sure everything is going to my FS. Afterall i am trying to use the flightsimulator, not arrange files on my Ipod.
