No HDR for me either. I can get the shimmering on trees and buildings down to an acceptable level if I run AA at 16x. There seems to be a radius around your viewing area that if you look outside this radius the shimmering is worse.

I get it bad in the VC of the 747, but that's not a problem since I have the 777 for long hauling. As for scenery, I never noticed. Then again, I'm too busy flying the plane to zoom in 32x+ on anything. B)

Don't need to zoom in at all to see the obvious problem, buildings, trees, etc. flicker all the time within easy viewing distance. Sitting on the runway waiting to takeoff things within easy viewing distance flicker. Mind you, it also happened in FSX, but I haven't see it in anything else on my system, so it's not a system problem.

No zooming here either...

Looks to me like the Anisotropic filtering (AF) is too low or off/not working

 

Set to 16x on my system. Have tried in game settings and at the driver level, doesn't seem to make a difference.

I have to echo jcomm's comments and say I can't see the flickering either. I'm not saying you guys are lying, I'm just saying I honestly can not see it and it may be system specific. I've zoomed in, out, sideways and any other way I can think of, and can't see any flickering. The only thing I can say that may be different is that I don't use any external apps like nhancer.

Did you see the video I posted on page 1 ? Do you have HDR turned on ? Are you running 4x SSAA ?

I experimented a little bit more with HDR.

I get very SLIGHT flickering on the chimney edge that joins the house and also on the front porch (circled in the screenshot). This is when AF is set to 1x.

The Flickering is completely non existent when I turn AF up to 16x.

I would try to correlate it to different types/models of graphics cards and various levels of open gl support. This issue has been noted repeatedly it seems. In fact i just did a quick google search for xplane flickering and it brought up multiple hits throughout xplanes history.

 

Most attempts to pin it down seem to point back to the z-buffer eventually, or at least that's how I am reading it.

This issue seems to worse with a newer hardware, I've had my older system i7 920 with 480GTX and I don't remember having this problem as of now with i7 3570 and 680GTX.

Did anyone ever find a resolution for this issue? I am still seeing the flickering textures with the latest xp10 build.

Not sure about everyone else, but I did...

Have AF set to 16x and have (still) flickering. No zoom. It's not nice but not too nasty here.

Running an Windows7, i7 2600k, 670GTX combo, latest X-Plane version and NVIDIA drivers, no NVIDIA app engaged. Can live with it but somehow annoying...

 

Ben said somewhere (his blog?) that it's a z-buffer problem but would only occur with high zoom setttings...
