Anyone else have shimmering trees? I thought this is a video driver problem, but the two different drives I've tried still show itIt's odd, because my buildings in the distance do not shimmer - but the trees even up close do. It's almost as if they are not being antialiased...or at least like they should.What is up? Is it just my older video card? Solar's trees look fantastic in the distance and even up close in his King Air screenshot, but mine look horrible.Not saying its SP1 or anything, they were shimmery in RTM for me.Anyone else get this?

Did you add the mipBias tweak to your cfg? This will cause this... I can't use mipBias for this reasonEDIT: Oh, and shimmering won't show up in a screenshot anyway, so its really not possible to say if Solar waas getting shimmering in those shots.

Use the Adaptive AA mode on your card in the driver - should get rid of it. The trees are transparent alpha textures and you need to uses a different AA mode to smooth them.On my Nvidia card, I use the 8xS mode (hidden, available in nHancer) to get rid of it, looks really good.

It's called transparency AA for nvidia cards... but this can be a performance killer, so depending on one's card and resolution, this may actually make the gpu the limiting factor and knock down fps.(I am using it with my 8800).

shimmering trees here too - very annoying - X1900XT

Do you have AF on in FSX? During a lot of testing I somehow turned off AF in FSX and suddenly all my trees shimmered! After turning on AF in FS (I also have it on in the driver) all was cool again.

I have an ati x850XT and turned on AF in FSX and made sure no mipBias in my cfg file. This fixed it.

FWIW I found Adaptive AA causes blurry gauges in 2d mode.I have MipBias set to 4 (as in FS9) and it looks good with an X1950XT. Mips>4 causes shimmering as they did in FS9

Lower you texture bandwidth to 40 if its an nivdia card. AA off Aniso On

AA off? no way man...that would make the problem worse with the rest of the objects...lol

>AA off? no way man...that would make the problem worse with>the rest of the objects...>>lolMust be your hi-tech machine then cause it works fine here.

It works "fine", but you won't get anti aliasing anywhere.Unless your videocard supports SSAA or some hybrid mode, you'll always get some shimmering of tree textures. Make sure to not use the MipBias tweak, and use a high resolution. Downloading one of the resized tree textures files and using it might also help.

I've tried about every combination of AA, in-game filtering and from the Nvidia panel, etc and nothing helps. I can certainly make it worse with certain settings, but can't get rid of the shimmering.- dcc

1.Download and install 'nHancer' 2. Add a profile for FSX 3. Under Enhancements Set AA to combined and 4XS or 8XS and set AF to 8x or 16x 4. Most importantly, (especially if you have the MipBias=? tweak added to your config file) under Optimizations ensure Negative LOD BIAS is checked and set to clamp.5. In FSX control panel set to aniostropic filtering, AA unchecked.You should now have no shimmering trees or buildings and clear textures into the distance.Hope this works for you.MartinASUS A8X-SATHLON64-4000 oc to 2.5 GHZ2048mb PC3200RAM7900GS KO 256mb GRAPHICS CARDWD 120GB IDE DRIVE
