I downloaded FSX SP1 and SP2 today, and now my fleet MD88 and 90 panels look terrible....fuzzy, and the engine guages in particular look terrible (numbers don't even fit in the display)....any ideas? I'm not terribly good with computer probelms!

You may wanna check display settings and ensure Anistropic (sp?) filtering is set to trilinear or higher, and I'm assuming you have been using FSX's antialiasing - so check to see that is enabled.

I got it fixed (for the most part)....something still looks a little off, but it has to be a problem with some screen/resolution setting somewhere.

Matt, if you haven't done so already, I suggest you go into settings, hit customize in the bottom right of the screen, under the graphics tab you will see on the right a section for global textures, be sure to turn that slider all the way to the right so that it is set to very high. Also, as a general rule, making small graphics adjustments and tweaks is a good idea in terms of identifying what has bearing on improving the particular effects you're concerned with. Just be sure to make a note of what you've adjusted, in case the changes end up having an adverse effect on your performance, or back up the fsx.cfg if you're really cautious and wary of such changes, like me.
