July 17, 201510 yr Author Yes. Nothing has changed. I know a lot of people do not like old documents but FSX is still an old program. The settings in this document were taken from several different sites and product releases such as those from FTX/Orbx. I'm still trying to find the right settings for P3D though and we may make some minor changes in the near future. Wish I could find the 'perfect' settings that work for everyone. Best regards, Many thanks, Jim. I am honoured you took the time to help me out... What a great community! Cheers!
July 17, 201510 yr Author OC your cpu to 4.5 or above and add a gtx 970 and I promise you that you will be able to have more AA options. Your video card is your bottleneck. I am doing some research... and it looks like my real bottleneck might be the PSU (FSP300-60HCN)... According to what I see, I could get in nothing more than a GTX 730, without changing the PSU as well... Would that be worth it, compared to the current GTX 650?

Stick with what you have until you can afford a decent card and power supply. Since you don't have a K model, enable turbo mode and play with the AA settings. MSFS
July 18, 201510 yr I had the same problem at one time until I installed Rex and allowed it to inject a set of textures for everything. Now, I don't get shimmers. Granted, I also run DX10 and have tweaked my NI settings. I really don't give it a good look now since I fly tubeliners...way too many other important things to concentrate on. lol -Jim Rex textures does nothing to stop shimmering in the cockpit of addon airplanes, which is what the op wants to fix. And that is done by SGSS
July 25, 201510 yr Author Dear all, I am reporting back after few days of experimenting and tweaking, taking advices from you. I am now settled on settings I am happy with. Given my hardware (listed in my first post in this thread), I finally settled for: FSX.cfg (only relevant entries) Affinity Mask = 84 (core 1,2,3 in use, not 0 and not HT cores) Texture_max_load=2048 Texture_bandwidth_mult=80 Fiber_frame_time_fraction=0.2 no Bufferpools entry (leave to default) Nvidia Inspector (only relevant entries) Antialiasing - settings (FSAA): 4xMS Antialiasing - transparency (TSAA): 2xSGSS Nvidia predefined FXAA usage: allowed Toggle FXAA: on Anisotropic filtering mode: application controlled Anisotropic filtering setting: off (linear) Frame Rate limiter: 30 (unlimited in FSX/settings) Maximum pre-rendered frames: 3 Vertical sync Tear control: standard Vertical sync: 1/2 refresh rate As a result, running REX4, ASN, ORBX FTX Full Regions, UT2, I get no visible shimmering, no noticeable stuttering, and FPS fluctuating between 20 and 30. Overall, I am really pleased with this. Many thanks to all for the great help! Please let me know if you have questions on my settings. I would be happy to help others. Cheers
