Carenado Virtual Cockpits blurry/grainy in 2.3

Featured Replies

Hi - 

 

Does anyone using the Carenado aircraft (default Beechcraft Bonanza A-36, Cessna 337, etc) notice that the virtual cockpits are grainy,almost like it's  not being anti-aliased ? When I look at the other default aircraft and the ones I imported from FSX, the VC looks ok.

 

I did not notice this in 2.2. I was using the Nspector setting in 2.2 to update the AA. I have not done any tweaking (and would prefer not to) to the default nvidia settings. I tried all the in-game graphic setting and the results are still the same.  I have tried to change the texture size from 1024 to 2048,  4x MSAA, 8x MSAA,  texture filtering to 16x, FSAA (on/off) - no joy....

 

Anyone else have this issue? 

 

Thanks.

Daniel

All planes have slightly blurry gauges... But I use in-game AA settings

I have the same, but it was the same in v2.2. I too removed the settings in NI (SGSS) when upgrading to v2.3 and the lack of SGSS is the reason for the jaggies in the VC, I think. The default simobjects are ok, probably because of mipmapping? At least it looks like they have been made to take advantage of the MSAA. Enabling in-game FXAA helps somewhat but makes the panel a bit too blurry imo.

 

We all need for Nvidia to support Prepar3D v2!

That is also what I see and in addition to that I also frequently see shimmering textures in the VC panels. I don't see this or very little in other default planes.

Since Carenado use HD textures I would expect the opposite to be the case.

In my pay ware planes the Just Flight Chipmunk and A2A Piper Cherokee I don't see it at all. In the Milviz B55 very slightly.

I see Carenado is selling a Bonanza A36 for FSX and P3D (V1 ?). Is this the same plane we got as default in P3D2 ?

Didn't help for me.

It's no replacement for SGSS for sure, but at least it takes away the worst shimmering in my system (with an extra general blurryness to it all...).

I have the Carenado A36 originally bought for FSX but works a treat in P3D 2.3. It is my most popular used aircraft and the cockpit looks nice and sharp. Much better than the default that comes with P3D.

 

Here's a video of the cockpit..... best viewed full screen in 1080p to appreciate the effect  :)

I just turned on 4xSGSS in nspector and that help a lot - but it killed my frames rate when there were a lot of clouds.  I still don't understand why the Carenado VC shimmer and the others do not. What did they do so different to their VC?
