i know it is not bug, but you should be know what is problem. it has an effect on Torque's quality down

Suggest : Detail map scale some increase or decrease detail map distance and defuse map quality up

This actually looks very similar to something I came across with Ari running one of my maps, after a driver update it fixed the appearance of the really flickery detail maps.

What graphics card and drivers are you running on Enel ?

Hmm,
Same driver set but a much newer card.
Reminds me alot of what I used to see when I was on an ATI 1950 dual, when you move around does it all shimmer ? Its like its over sharpened the detail maps mipmaps or something.
Have you modified any of the drivers settings atall ? Mine are all at default for the screens I posted above. Do you have anything effecting mipmaps, anti aliasing or anistropic filtering etc ?

Me too I noticed the same artifacts as Enel, just a bit less evident.

Anyway it seems to almost (not really completely I think) disappear if in T3D options I enable Anisotropic Filtering (even the with the lowest 4X setting).
