Hello, the Recommended Addons page has links you might find usefull. So does the search function by the way.

And next time you make a thread, choose a more descriptive title. I will edit your thread so that everyone knows what it is about.

So why not put that in the subject line? That is what it is there for.

EDIT: TSP beat me to it - you gotta be quick around here.

sorry bout that and i mean a texture like this but compatible with the latest version:
[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1874"]Planet Earth Ultra High Res Level 9 Version 3.0[/ame]

Does the Earth texture you have now (Earth Level 10 package?) look a little blurry from orbit? If so, it may not be installed correctly, and Orbiter may still be using the default texture.

 

[jinglesassy]

it looks pretty blurry and looks like there isnt any atmosphere

Install [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2552"]THIS[/ame] first, then install THIS, and finally install [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2379"]THIS[/ame].

now when im in leo its the same as before but with an atmosphere but when i am a bit higher like 650 km it changes to a diffrent texture is this normal?

 

[TSPenguin]

Yes, at certain distances texture and polygon detail is reduced. This is called LOD. By replacing the levels that are beeing switched to you achieve a smoother transition.

 

[jinglesassy]

no it litterly completely changes textures to somthing diffrent i can get a picture if u need

 

[TSPenguin]

Picture is always good.

 

[jinglesassy]

ok, ill get one hold on

 

[jinglesassy]

here are both of the pictures showing earth at slightly diffrent altitudes

 

[TSPenguin]

Yes, that is due to changing from the big resolution to the lower resolution. Optimaly those should be created from the same source.

jinglesassy, I think the same conversation is going on in another thread, along with a proposed solution: http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=110542#post110542

 

[jinglesassy]

ok so i need the level 8 one too?

 

[tblaxland]

That is the suggestion. IDK if it works or not because I don't use the high-res textures myself. I would be most interested if you try it and post screenshots like you did above.

 

[jinglesassy]

ok i installed the level 8 one too and it now runs seamlessly really as in i cant tell a diffrence when i zoom out so its like the same texture but of a lower resolution for farther out
