Hello all,

Recently I was talked into going to FSX for the PMDG 777 only (for now). Great airplane I must say. However, I can't seem to get the jaggys and shimmering to go away within FSX (and FS2004 to a lessor extent). At first I thought it was my GPU (GeForce 9800GTX+ 1GB) so I updated to a GeForce GTX 760 SC. However, the jaggy/shimmering is still there and I can't figure out why. Could someone please help? Specs below and click on the video link to see my settings (FSX 2014 DXT10 settings YouTube video used for tweaking).

Getting very annoying to say the least, espeically since it seems like nothing I change in the DXT10 fixer seems to work. If we can't solved this, I might just dump DXT10 altogether.

Airport used in video is default KDTW with GTX Global and Vector plus the PMDG 777 and REX4 textures (maybe it is my REX texture settings, so I've attached them as well).

 

Thanks!

Check out the AVSIM FSX Configuration Guide and especially the NvidiaInspector settings.  The guide can be found to the right of this forum under Hot Spots.

 

Best regards,

Are you talking about this video?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSrObxJaJD8. FSX DX10 TWEAK GUIDE 2014. It was very useful to me, including the NvidiaInspector settings mentioned by Jim. Their are lots of videos on FSX and DX10 and if you haven't tried this one, it might be worth a try.

Yes that video. I have the exact same settings as he has as I can tell.

I can't figure out why the in-game AA is not smoothing out the textures. I've followed the DXT 10 fixer settings exactly and it is almost like nothing changes. So maybe can someone give me a second set of eyes to see if I've missed anything.

 

Thanks!

The only thing I can think off is another application overriding your in game AA settings. Make sure that NvidiaInspector settings is not set to override...though I'm sure you have already done this. Also, are you using Anisotopic/AA rather than Trilinear? Otherwise, take a snapshot of both FSX settings and NvidiaInspector settings and post it here.

 

Troy

Yes I've tried that. And yes Anisotropic AA and ingame AA plus the DXT10 settings in the video.

 

I can't think why this would happening. It is like nothing seems to change the picture. Even with this being a default airport (REX 4 textures) it still should smooth out the picture.

The video has both in game and inspector settings. Pause the video at each point for a longer view.

Looks like your video has gone missing.

I did notice though that you had Global Texture Resolution set to High instead of Very High.

 

In Nvidia Inspector you should try setting:

 

Antialiasing Compatibility (DX1x) to Bi Shock, Bio Shock2.

Anisotropic Filtering Setting to Application-controlled / Off, instead of 8.

Reduce your Sparse Grid Supersampling to 4x.

Negative LOD Bias to Allow

LOD Bias (DX) to -1.0000

 

In Steve's Fixer set AA to 16x CSAA.

 

Any improvement?

Hello gb,

Thank you for the reply.

1) I still show the video as being there.
2) The settings you suggested did not help.

Thanks,
Gary

Update

 

For now I've gone back to DXT9 settings. This has allowed me to take back over with inspector. Before I did so, I tested a few additional settings with DXT10 and inspector and nothing seemed to work.

 

I'm OK with DXT9 as I personally can't see the difference and there is no performance boost in using DXT10. Plus I guess the DXT10 fixer is in theory forcing FSX to run textures it really wasn't designed to run.

I'm still open to suggestions but for now I am at least happy!

Thanks,
Gary

You are right the video is still there.

It was being blocked by my browser addon.

 

Sorry DX10 does not work for you.

It's mainly the VC shadows that I now find essential.

I have this problem with Runways, Buildings and taxiways shimmering alot, I've tried tons and tons of different things..including in this forum and I get a good result as far as AA goes but my overal FSX picture is very blurry. Is there anyway to clear it up so its very easy to see things far away?

Fake flyer I have the same problems. Switched to DX10 using Steve's fixer, set everything up accordingly, and I was getting overall a blurry, not as crisp-textures as DX9, along with jaggiescand shimmering. I subsequently switched back to DX9.

I have D3D overrider running as suggested on this forum. Works well for me.

I've just changed to dx10 and I had similar problems, blurries, spent a few days hunting down a solution but to no avail until I came across a posting on this forum suggesting you need to ensure you have the correct colour settings in the nvidia control panel for your monitor,

Btw the ' how to ' pdf file by paul J needs to be read along with steves set up guide on AF, also you need to input the same value in nvidia inspector as in the fixer conrol panel for AA transparency supersampling

Take note what is suggested re AA and the setting in fsx.
