Settings
1. Start Flight Simulator 2002. Select 'Settings'
and 'Display...' from the main menu.
2. Set 'Terrain mesh complexity' to 100 and
'Terrain texture size' to High.
For low altitude flights and faster loading scenery,
leave unchecked 'Extended terrain textures'.
For high altitude flights but slower loading scenery, check 'Extended terrain textures'
3. Uncheck 'MIP mapping' box. Set 'Filtering'
almost to BILINEAR.
4. Other settings do not affect to photographic
sceneries but may affect to 3D airport sceneries. So you can set to minimum to get better
framerate while flying or set to maximum to get more detailed 3D airport sceneries.
Coast Lines
Problem
Flight Simulator ever uses its own default coast
lines and flatten custom detailed elevation mesh. To avoid this you have to remove
coastline files from default FS scenery.
These files start with HYP and are in this folder :
C:\ Program Files \Microsoft
Games\FS2002\SCENEDB\Easthem\eursw\Scenery
Move these files to a backup folder:
HYP524248.bgl
HYP524252.bgl
HYP528248.bgl
HYP528252.bgl
You can create a new scenery with these files and
activate it when needed.
Now your coastline will be defined by terrain mesh.
Texture blurry
1. Flight Simulator is lazy loading textures. If you
fly very fast or move in slew mode, textures may be displayed blurry. To avoid this you
have to edit your FS2002.CFG configuration file.
Find your FS2002.CFG file. Usually it is in this
folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2002\FS2002.CFG
If you are in a trouble finding your FS2002.CFG file, you can search for it. Click on
Windows START button. Choose SEARCH. Type FS2002.CFG , then press OK. Now you can see
where your file is located.
2. Make a back up copy of your FS2002.CFG
Double click on FS2002.CFG file and select
"Open with notepad" or open Notepad application, select "All files"
instead of "text files (*.txt)" and open your FS2002.CFG file.
Locate a section named [TERRAIN]. Then change values
of these lines:
TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=9.5000000
TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=9.500000
Save your file and close notepad.
Now Flight Simulator will load textures faster.
