Hey everyone!
I got my PC reformatted not long ago and so I am getting back in the sim and noticed the scenery in the distance didn't look smooth. I tried some settings in FS that didn't help. Are the pictures above normal? I don't remember seeing the scenery like that. What could be the fix to it?
Thanks!

Dont know how to fix the problem but...could just always turn down the visibility under the weather display tab or in custom weather.

Do you have any scenery addons/mesh for the area? if so, uninstall it and re-install it. That usually fixes it.

Try checking "extend terrain textures" under the display settings found in the settings. It'll probably still do it just much further out.

Kyle try modifying the following lines in your FS9.cfg to these settings:

TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=9.500000
TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=4.50000
