Looks like you have some nasty mip-mapping and anti-aliasing issues going on on your system from the looks of those screen shots. The blurry textures are as a result of the mip-mapping and the noise or pixelation which you can see most clearly in the clouds can sometimes be caused by enabling aanti-aliasing on some graphics cards. Its often possible to have AA enabled through the settings on your graphics card's driver (accessible via display properties -> settings -> advanced on your desktop) rather than by using hte setting in FS's display options. Just a thought, it might help improve your FPS a bit :think:

Really nice, A great helicopter easy to control too. I usually crash within two minutes of take off, actually landed this one. Just a quick question if I may? Are the starboard undercariage struts meant to be green on XT604? Sort of looks like no textures there, apart from that little point absolutely brilliant.

Starboard strut is supposed to be black this was introduced to cut out reflections when hovering.

Here's a couple of pics showing the starboard gear; I believe that this was only the case on SAR aircraft.

This is the first chopper that I have been able to fly for any length of time and the model is stunning - congratulations for all involved.

The hover gauge works like a charm, but how do you turn on the autopilot? (not that you really need it, this bird is so stable!)

In either the 2D or VC cockpits the autopilot is visible. You can also view it in the Flight Control centre. Turn it on by clicking the centre button below the yelow triangle, then click whatever channel you desite (ALT, HDG etc)
