Shimmering Buildings and Trees

Hey guys, I have been experimenting with many settings in Nvidia Inspector and still can't get the shimmering to stop. I am using an EVGA 780 GTX and Nvidia Inspector set to 4X AA, and AF to 12X for now. Using a triple head to go to 3 projectors at 1280X1024. Open to suggestions or new settings to try to reduce the shimmering effect.

Setting Transparency Sparse Grid Supersampling in nvidia Inspector usually works.

Big cost to FPS though.

Start at x2 and work your way up.

Test in heavy cloud situations.

Check the setting of mip mapping. It often creates shimmering with nvidia cards if set too high. Try a setting of 4. That should bring the shimmering down to an "acceptable" level.

you'll find them in your hardware settings in the sim.

Believe that was an FS2004 thing.

Speaking of mip maps, there is a program out there called Alpha Searcher which will search your FSX folder and find any textures with missing mipmaps or alpha channels (transparency).

Hi Angelo,

I think your 4X AA setting might be why you're seeing shimmers.  I've noticed it at 4X too.  Try these settings and see if it helps.  With your card, you should probably be able to go to the 8xS setting, but start with these and see how it goes. 

Cheers,

Jeff
