I haven't flown for a while, due to - what else - life, work etc. Before I left I must have installed something (*possibly* an effect (bloom or something of that sort) that makes my FS9 "cartoony" (the clouds especially). You can see in the pictures how horrible the light and ground textures look. Now I can't find and undo it. Any ideas please? Thanks!

Is it the same way in the daylight hours?

Yes, it's pretty cartoony in the daylight too

Added some day shots. Clouds are particularly bad I think. I am using Ground Environment, Active Sky

Does Active Sky work like REX does, where it installs sky textures? If it does, maybe reinstall the texture from inside the app. Usually that works for me in REX if things dont look quite right.

I tried reinstalling sky textures. That doesn't seem to be it. Appreciate the response.

Fixed it. I had multiple Graphics card entries in the FS9.cfg file and the one for the newest card was on 16 bit graphics. Thank you for your efforts. Leaving this here in case someone else needs it.

I really prefer flying using a 2nd monitor. I like sliding the ATC etc. to the second monitor. I'm not able to do this with either the Delta acars, or with the Deltava aircraft down loads. Is there a way of turning this around? Also, is there a way of shuting off the tool bars at the top and botom of the screan?
