Hello Everyone,

 

I'm new to the forums, and this is my first post! How exciting! Anyways, I just bought Prepar3D v2.0 and love the sim, but visual performance is poor for me. I used to get fantastic results in FSX with Nvidia Inspector and cfg tweaks. With Prepar3D v2.0, not so much. I have searched the forums for any advice as to why this might be happening, but no luck. I have tried turning off FXAA, but that gives a lot of jaggies, and MSAA does very little for my system. Any help would be appreciated. If it's not to much to ask, can anyone please take a picture of their settings in Nvidia Inspector and Prepar3D v2.0 so I can use them as a reference point? I hope I can solve this soon. Thanks everyone!

Hi Julien.. Currently there are no inspector settings to force AA in any matter.. Prepar3D devs are in the process of working with Nvidia to come up with a solution.

 

From the horses mouth.

 

 

We've been working with Nvidia to troubleshoot why most overrides don't work in v2. One of their representatives told me that many of the overrides aren't supported in dx11 yet but I haven't be able to get a list from them. We will continue to work with NVidia to get these issues addressed, but as far as we are aware, there is nothing we need to do on our end to allow the overrides to work.
Thanks.

styckx,

 

That makes a whole lot more sense. I was getting overwhelmed with information as I saw people posting that Nvidia Inspector works, and some people posting that it doesn't. Thanks for clearing things up!

that would be totally awesome to have nvidia specific drivers for V2

 

You have to setup AA the same way you would in DX10 FSX.

 

Set internal MSAA to 8x (it was simply on in FSX). Then in NI set SGSS to 4x. This is the setting that has some effect in NI. Setting MSAA levels in NI will do nothing.

 

DX10/11 titles can not force MSAA at the driver level.

SGSS should be the same multiple as MSAA since it uses the MSAA to do its stuff. I'm using 4x for both with great results. Be sure to disable FXAA. You won't need it if you are using SGSS (alternatively, don't use SGSS and just use FXAA if yo don't mind the look). Also, set the target frame rate to 33 and enable vsync and triple buffering in P3D. Make sure you running in Windows Aero mode (for win 7).

 

 

where is SGSS located at? all i see in the config file is ssa and its set to 0

You need to set that in nVidia Inspector. Besure to set the mode to Enhance in NI!

 

I btw use 2xMSAA and 2xSGSS: 4x gives already gives performance problems. AA is it now isn't too good, but at least the instruments in the VC are readable now.  ^_^

Yes these settings will have to do for now until LM gets things sorted. But you will still notice some runway shimmering and guages shimmering. FXAA will only blur your guages.  

 

Then again I still get some runway aliasing in FSX with AA set to the standard 8xS and 2xSGSS, never quite figured that one out.

Me to.

 

Best AA I ever had in FSX was when I had an ATI card. 

I've been able to turn on FXAA in inspector (and off in sim) and then set MSAA to 2x in the sim. I get very good FPS with this setup and decent AA as well. I have a GTX 760 with 3 monitors and I've been averaging well over 30fps with most settings turned way up (except for shadows which I keep on medium).

I started this -> https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/654510/geforce-drivers/nvidia-please-work-with-lockheed-martin/ thread over at Nvidia trying to get more attention from Nvidia to work with LM on these AA and shimmering issues so head over there and add your voice to having this fixed ASAP.
