Blurry Text

Featured Replies

Running the latest on a 55 inch with GTX3080 and when I zoom out in the cockpit to get the right perspective the flight instruments get blurry on the default 737 and others. Just wondering what is causing this? If you zoom in they are clear.

Get that too, wasn't aware it was a zoom thing, and nothing to do with my bad eyesight.

Define "blurry" and state your simulator and rendering resolution.

It is glowing around the edges. Xp 11 was always crisp. ?

Same for me. I've played around with settings but i can't improve it. I'm now using the latest beta. it was also present on the regular released XP version. I was hoping Beta would correct it.

Yea I do not get it. I do not know how they expect to make ground on MSFS when the text looks this bad. Dissappointed.

Some of that is developer related as some look better than others as is cockpit lighting, but untill some things are final no point developers doing anything.

No blurry text on my 42 LG OLED TV here, zooming in or out.

Final? Is there such a thing with Xplane? I saw many comments saying it's not final until 13.

There is no such thing as final in any sim, they are all , always under development, As one put in FSX is still being developed just under a different name.But they aim for targets and thats all they can do. Final means they finished the tasks they had for that B run

You can add a sharpness filter either through NVidia panel (requires a small registry hack) or using GeForce Experience.

It will improve somewhat but not completely undy the blurry imagery of XP12. Also if you use too much sharpness it looks weird. There is no way to make an image blurry and then sharp again, it cannot be completely undone.

The blurry text is due to FXAA.
In your Xplane config you will see this.
SETTING_1 renopt_HDR_antial 0 hdr/use_post_aa 0    hdr/msaa_hw 0
SETTING_1 renopt_HDR_antial 1 hdr/use_post_aa 1    hdr/msaa_hw 0
SETTING_1 renopt_HDR_antial 2 hdr/use_post_aa 1    hdr/msaa_hw 1
SETTING_1 renopt_HDR_antial 3 hdr/use_post_aa 1    hdr/msaa_hw 2
SETTING_1 renopt_HDR_antial 4 hdr/use_post_aa 1    hdr/msaa_hw 3

 

Everywhere you see hdr/use_post_aa and it has a 1 is FXAA that is enabled.
So looking at the above config even when set to MSAA FXAA is also enabled. Change the config to look like this.
SETTING_1 renopt_HDR_antial 0 hdr/use_post_aa 0    hdr/msaa_hw 0
SETTING_1 renopt_HDR_antial 1 hdr/use_post_aa 0    hdr/msaa_hw 0
SETTING_1 renopt_HDR_antial 2 hdr/use_post_aa 0    hdr/msaa_hw 1
SETTING_1 renopt_HDR_antial 3 hdr/use_post_aa 0    hdr/msaa_hw 2
SETTING_1 renopt_HDR_antial 4 hdr/use_post_aa 0    hdr/msaa_hw 3

 

This should fix your blurry displays.

It cannot be fixed. It's part of the way X-Plane 12 renders graphics.

When I first installed the X-Plane 12 demo two years ago it became clear within 1 minute that the image was a lot blurrier. I fixed that via NVidia panel even even before I took off the first time.

Please don't make experiments with critical internal files. The only thing that helps somewhat is sharpness via NVidia Panel or GeForce Experience. Or a 4K monitor.

I don't fly the zibo or have it installed.
