I just uninstalled FSX and reinstalled fs9. When I last ran fs9 I had it tweaked real well. I lost all my cfg settings for the sim. There was a forum thread here , I think it was called "a great tweak" ( sf9 cfg tweaks) the setting cleared up all my problems. FSX just stopped my system dead in its track several times and the last time I thought I had lost everything. So I decided that a smooth running fs9 would be better and safer for me. I found a link to that old thread on the internet but the link was dead. Anyone remenber that thread or could someone post a cgf file that will sharpen up the ground textures? thanks all
