Re: Turning off Mipmaps with DTXbmp to enhance textures

First, none of the things you mention causes blurries, but let's go step by step:
The "MyProducts" folder is doing nothing but taking disk space, you can delete it alltogether.
Apparently you copied the installation twice into your FSX root?
Mind you, only the content of the "MyProducts" folder should be moved into the FSX root, not the folder itself.
The resol.exe in Microsoft Games/SimObjects/Airplanes/Classics_Hangar_Fw190A-5
is correct. That's the interior texture manager.
That air file message is an association error that happens when you try to open it by double-click. On your machine it appears to be asociated with the Adobe air file format which has unfortunately the same extension as our FS air files. But that doesn't mean anything either.
Don't have the other aircraft but the Cat uses 1024 textures only saved without mipmaps, so there are no blurries to expect. I suppose the Lanc doesn't either.
A reinstall is not needed since everything is there and working otherwise.
Since we have excluded incorrect FSX.cfg settings and faulty install that would leave us with two possibilities:
Low display driver settings or too much overhead thus causing FSX to switch mipmaps prematurely.
Are you running an Nvidia card?
Regarding Nicks screenshots, it should be mentioned that he is running at exreme AA setting so I wouldn't expect it to loock that good on every machine.
