Hi guys,sine FS9 I never got rid of the shimmering autogen. Even with 4xAA it wouldn't go away. Seems better with 4XS but the fps hit is unbearable. I changed from ATI to Nvidia...no cure.Under each section in the terrain.cfg I found a line RenderToTexture=1. As I can't leave good enough alone I changed all these lines to RenderToTexture=0 and the shimmerig seems a lot better. Greatly improved but by no means gone though.Could someone try and confirm this or tell me if this is just my imagination? Alex

I believe you are correct to have adjusted that setting. there is also a render to texture box in the hardware section of the display options. Interesting enough, I have that box checked. So, I do not understand why there would be a 0 in the terrain.cfg, yet render to texture box is checked as active in the sim. One more note...as I recall with Nvidia cards, you will get much better performance with render to texture checked in the display option...confusing, I know...I guess you will just have to experiment until you get it worked out to your satisfaction.Sherm

In my terrain.cfg NONE of the sections have that line.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Guess I was wrong here. Seems it was just a mix of Lennarts textures and a lower vis setting that made me believe this. In the FS options I have RenderToTexture set to off as I am using ActiveSky. So I thought it can't hurt to change the lines in the terrain.cfg. As to why others don't have that entry ...bummer. I guess an addon might have changed the terrain.cfg. Alex

I dont have the line in ANY terrain.cfg sections either.Hornit

I DO have the RenderToTexture Line. It appears that it was created by the American Data add on.

Yes, it was and when delete it or set it to 0 now I do not have roads and streams in Europe. I wonder what that is all about.Alex

With older versions of the Nvidia Drivers, I was able to adjust the Shimmering Autogen out by adjusting the LOD level. It had a range of -2 to +2 and somewhere between -1 an 0 worked best for me.Does anyone know what tweaking tool will allow the LOD adjustments in the latest Nvidia Driver? I have Coolbits to unlock the autoclocking feature, But I do not see the LOD adjustment.Dennis

You can do that with Riva Tuner. Nice tip. I am off experimenting. So far an LOD bias of +0.4 seems to look better. But I have to try a little more yet.Alex

RivaTuner, thanks. Maybe it was juat above zero, not just below. I have been away for a while and I forgot. Thanks, Dennis

OK, I got RIVA Tuner. I set the LOD Bias Range to 2 (-2 ro +2). Now how do I set the LOB Bias. Does it add this afjustment to my Nvidia Driver?Dennis

In other words, Now where do I set the LOD Bias in RivaTuner?Dennis
