Hello everyone

I hope someone can help me.  I have noticed recently my graphics around airports has become terrible at some stage and I don't know why.  I don't think it was like this before.

I am getting terrible shimmering and jaggy lines especially on rwy markings from anything but directly on.

I had tuned my cfg many moons ago and all was good with the world but not now.  Can somebody possibly help me with this?

I have attached my FSX.cfg and am hoping someone can pick up what the issue is.

Sounds like something to do with your Nvidia Anti-Aliasing and/or texture filtering settings.

Hi Jimmi

Have had a look at all that and can't see anything too wrong ther. I'm really stumped by this!!!

I believe you have to adjust graphic settings by using NvidiaInspector. See this http://forum.avsim.net/topic/324786-nvidia-configuration-guide-inspector-2xxxx-drivers-version-20-explanations-of-all-settings/page-1  for instructions. Yes it's a bit outdated but still actual for your (and mine as well) VGA.

 

Additionaly, I dont think up-to-date drivers are good for previous  generations of VGA esp. in terms of  sim (but it's strongly IMO)

Hello Oleg

Thank you for the link.  I went through my inspector settings again and found that indeed somehow things had changed hence the lousy performance. 

Things are much better now and thank you again for your input.

Best regards

Bluey
