Does it help to pixelated or grainy clouds? 

Clouds look good IMO:

This I have turned off for years. Wasn’t using it in P3D either. Gamma correction Imho makes it look less realistic….

I've never paid attention to that setting. Reading up on it, seems it's not much use for modern graphics engines. I'll try it later today. Thanks for highlighting it.

This has been a great little tip for me. Personally I was happy with the graphics with GC on but with it off, much less shimmery AA (although still not perfect), better colour depth, and it’s also gotten rid of the glitchy pixels when panning at render scales over 100 on later Nvidia drivers. 
 

Think I’m going to enjoy seeing the effects of it disabled on my other go to games now.

Looks good without GC

Think this is one for the youngsters and those with very good eyesight.🙂

Tried it but at 64yrs I'm not noticing any discernable (by me) difference.

As it probably means the graphics card is relieved of some burden I think I'll leave it off anyway.👍

Didn't make any difference for me, a modern sim shoudn't have this bad AA and shimmering, GTX2080.

Have you checked you field of view setting also?  If FOV is set correctly, so objects are life sized, I found that reduced shimmering.

Surprised turning off Gamma Correction didn't help you. All issues I had with shimmering trees and other objects has reduced considerably with my GTX 2080ti.

Looks like a good for some but not for others setting.  I turned mine off and haven't noticed any difference.

FOV? I see no settings in the menus. Is this a camera cfg thing?

MSFS uses a zoom setting for the camera.  Have you checked what your FOV should be with an online tool for another sim like XPLane?

Seems to work here, eliminating shimmering.

No, reasonably happy with what I've got atm. Thanks for the clarification though 🙂

What is the meaning of FOV?

Field of view.  Depending on the size of your monitor and viewing distance from it,  the FOV will be in degrees.  For my 35 inch wide screen monitor, my FOV is 67 degrees.  In MSFS, 67 degrees is a zoom setting of 0.80.

I have XPlane installed so used an online FOV calculator to set the correct FOV.  I then loaded MSFS and changed the zoom setting until the view from the same position in both sims matched.
