February 25, 20188 yr Hey Guys, I read through pretty much every AA Thread, but I couldn't find a solution for my Problem. I'm running P3D 4.2 on a 24" (60 Hertz) Monitor with a 1920x1200 Resolution. No matter which AA Settings I choose, I can't get rid of the Shimmering in the Sim. I'm using a 1080 TI, so I could turn AA up to 8xSSAA which however affects Performance even on this Card. Those are the current Settings, that I use in P3D and Nvidia Inspector: I appreciate any help. Thanks!
February 25, 20188 yr Not much you can really do at the moment. Like you I have the same problem and like you I have tried just about everything! P3D & X-Plane 11 - Videos and streaming @ V Special 1
February 25, 20188 yr SGSS from Transparency Supersampling is well known to reduce shimmering but at a performance cost. i7-13700KF, 32gb DDR4 3200, RTX 4080, Win 11, MSFS 2024

February 25, 20188 yr You have antialiasing mode set to "Enhance the application setting" but you haven't set how to enhance it. You have that set to "Application-controlled / Off". Set both to "Application controlled" so P3D controls all the AA. Then try a lower SSAA setting in P3D as suggested above. Edited February 25, 20188 yr by neumanix
February 25, 20188 yr One thing I have found is ticking every “Recieve” option under Shadows / Casting and Recieving drastically reduces shimmering (on my PC). Go figure... Mark
February 25, 20188 yr I don't think there is a fix for shimmering in P3D which is much worse than it was in FSX - it was the first thing I noticed when I booted up P3D4 for the first time last June.. I have settled on 2XSSAA which is just acceptable during the day but still leaves a lot of shimmering lights at night with a marked fps hit when dynamic lights are enabled. bruceb Bruce Bartlett Frodo: "I wish none of this had happened."

February 26, 20188 yr Welcome to Prepar3d V4, where anti-aliasing took a huge step backwards. Turning off HDR helps a bit.
February 26, 20188 yr In addition to my last, I also use Envdir/Evntex/Evnshade and with FXAA on in Nvidia settings (not P3D), and those 3 elements (cast/receive, Env products and FXAA on in Nvidia) have virtually eliminated night time shimmering of lights using Orbx FTX Global/Vector. It is still occasionally shimmery (is that even a word?) at certain angles, but largely it is gone. I use 8MSAA in Sim with 16x. And lights very small in the Orbx lights configurator. Finding that combination was months of faffing about. Edited February 26, 20188 yr by mwa05

February 26, 20188 yr Try using DSR X2 (which will replicate a 4K resolution) + MFAA in NVCP, and 4X or 8X MSAA in-sim - almost completely got rid of shimmers for me on my previous monitor. I now run a 43" 4K panel with just MFAA + 8X MSAA - this performs with the quality of 8X with the performance of 4X.
July 19, 20187 yr Buy a 4k monitor 28” or less ... you will need less AA and with that less shimmering
