Hey folks,

 

what keeps me a bit away from P3D is the point that always I fly the distance looks so flat even I have the LOD setting set to ULTRA. That looks very strange and unreal and my FSX looks a bit better. Maybe a problem is that you can't edit the distance within FSGRW where the "distance" is blocked and filled with a kind of fog. That looks kinda good for me.

 

Also a point is the flickering of some textures. I tried it with Nvidia inspector and without. Always other planes are flickering in the distance. And the docking systems at the gate also always flickering.  Looks very strange :/

 

Is that a gernal LM problem or more a setting/video card problem?

 

System:

Windows 7

8GB RAM

i5 4670k

GTX 770 2GB

For the flickering textures, its probably an issue called "z-fighting"! If you do a search on the P3D forum there is a thread that explains it all in detail but basically the cure is to add the following line  "ClipMode=Normal" within the camera.cfg located where your P3D.cfg is:-
