Shimmering textures

Featured Replies

I have bad image quality in P3D2 in the form of shimmering textures. I have encountered the same thing in FSX but that was resolved after setting it up in Nvidia Inspector.

But I have no NI profile info for P3D2 so it's difficult to set it up the same way as FSX. (as a side note I experience similar problems in Train Simulator 2014)

Try  assigning prepar3d.exe to your fsx profile in NI...that'd be a good place to start.

  1. Open Inspector
  2. Find the prepar3d.exe profile and delete it.
  3. Click the Nvidia icon up top to reset driver settings to default.
  4. For Antialiasing Compatibility DX1x choose Bioshock from the drop down menu.
  5. For AA Mode, choose either Override or Enhanced--I don't think this matters which one.
  6. For AA Setting, choose SUPERVCAA_64x_4x
  7. For AA Supersampling, choose 2x SGSS.
  8. For Anisotropic Filtering, choose Application-Controlled
  9. In P3D:
    1. FXAA to OFF
    2. MSAA 4x
    3. AF 4x, select Apply, then change AF to 16x

I find these settings mitigate a lot of the poor AA in P3D, including shimmering and 'swimming' textures.  Not perfect, but quite good.   Add a higher custom resolution (at your own risk) and you can really get some superb image quality in P3D V2.2
