Classic British Flight Sim

As Peter said it's all to do with mips etc.
If you look at this post;

you'll find a downolad link DaveB kindly arranged that has the relevant textures in the relevant format that should cure the problem.
All the best.

Ben,
Thanks for the info. I now what I'm looking for. As must be clear I only know enough about about computer hardware to be a danger to the machine but I have learnt some good stuff today.
From what you and Dave have said it seems I've been lucky to get five years out of mine.
Really appreciate ...

Ben,
You are far too modest! Great call.

Geoff,
Really pleased that the amended textures worked for you. I was a little worried that they might only work on my machine but thought it was worth offering them to see if they could help anyone else. Very glad they did.
Also, many thanks to Dave Garwood for allowing them to be made available ...

Hi all,
My first post so please forgive me if I mess anything up.
Shortly before Silversim's post on 24.9.11 I found a cure, at least on my machine, for the FS9 Hunter "blurries". After loading the textures one by one and then the sim' to look at each one in turn I found the culprits were panel_left ...
