Just to be clear, Shom......I am not talking about this airport package (I do not have it). I am talking about P3Dv4 in general.

I use 4x SSAA all the time in P3Dv4. Anything less is unacceptable @ 1920x1080 resolution.

Me too. I notice a performance impact by bad weather but it is acceptable for me.

@virtuali will this be acceptable in 4k monitors? This can heavily impact performance coupled with SSAA which should no be required when using 4k.

As usual, it always depends on your own sensibility to moire/shimmering, which is more visible during night with landing lights on.

We clearly suggest this in the manual and, since the scenery is sold in TRIAL version, and one can obviously read the manual after installing the Trial version, it's not as if those with lesser hardware would get a bad "surprise" to discover they must use SSAA. It's exactly the same as with KORD V2, and you must understand that, the moire effect without SSAA happens in *EVERY* game that use PBR, and the only "solution", which is NOT a real solution, would be simply removing the normal maps at night, which kills the realism of seeing the relief on pavement cracks.

This not a scenery made to be used some months and then throw it away when the next flight simulator will be out. Since the next flight sim will work *only* in PBR, users with lesser hardware WILL have to update it, no matter what, and they will do it so, of course, nobody will remember those useless discussions about "I cannot use SSAA" anymore, when everybody would have to update their hardware for MSFS2020. 

In addition to that, with FS Labs you cannot ( or shouldn't, because it would be too slow ) use FXAA, that's what their startup warning is about. But that's fine, it's SSAA that makes all the difference and, provided you have the HF2 installer, it reduces the shimmering on ground a lot.

In any case, with KORD V2, we made an alternative set of textures without normal maps ( so it's not correct PBR anymore ) available for those that couldn't use SSAA, we can easily do the same for LFSB, it's really not a big deal.

Let me try this in Trial mode.

As I use two 4K monitors in NVSurround with my server, I use FXAA / 4X MSAA / 8x AF. 
That gives a sharp image both day and night on my system 

Knowing FSDT the scenery will be top notch.I will see how it looks at night.

It will surely look better with SSAA ( FXAA not required ), when landing/taxi lights are on.

That might be true but 2x 4K is already sharper than 2x 2K.

I'm running a 2080 Ti at 1920x1080 8xSSAA. The textures look great. Unfortunately, that's what it takes.
