Open the Catalyst Control Center, and see if setting your "anisotropic filtering" higher makes a difference.

I'm not sure if it would make a difference, but it your new card dx9 compliant?

The best thing I've found for good horizon haze (regardless of hardware) is a freeware addon, 'Soft horizons' by John Cillis (search at Av*im). I wouldn't run FS9 without it.

Even if new of this forum (hello, how are you

) I am a long time user of FS9, and in the olden times when FS9 went out in the shops I had a Athlon Xp 1700 with the same video-card you have, with which I never had any problems under FS2002.

Sadly enough, I discovered there was no way in hell to have a satisfying haze at the horizon with the Rad 9250 back in the days, and I had to resolve it... buying a Gefo TI4400. Undecided

It may not look too helpful, my writ, but it's life experience. To be constructive, if, like you write, putting the visibility to 3 miles works to give you a haze, and you can't get another video-card, that's what I would do in your shoes. After all, in populated areas, rarely there's more visibility nowadays. So, unless you're a bush plane pilot, you'd be set.

That is, unless someone that knows more than me (I'm hardly infallible) manages to find you a better solution. Wink

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.
