I am using X-Pane 12.2B1. I have a new 2025 Mac Studio Sequoia 15.4. I have noticed when I am on the ground the scenery in front of me starts being wavy and flickering especially when I advance the throttle. My connection is ethernet and a steady (ethernet connection)  104MBPS download and 10MBPS upload. I have 261 GBs of available storage. 

Chip:    Apple M4 Max
  Total Number of Cores:    16 (12 performance and 4 efficiency)
  Memory:    48 GB
 

Does anyone have any thoughts on what may be causing this? I have played around with the graphics and no matter how high or low it still doesn't solve the issue Is there away to attach a file that's not saved in a URL?

Is it better when you disable the the g-loaded cammera ("Views" --> "G-Loaded camera")?

Unfortunately it didn't help.

Are you using a single-engine aircraft with a propeller at night?

Been discussed a lot over the years, apparently until they have motion vectors and sort the AA, then this you have to live with.

Hmm, I am not sure this is the well known problem with anti-aliasing, especially since he describes it as being "on the ground" and "gets worse when advancing throttle" and "scenery in front".  A general complaint about the AA would not be dependent on being on the ground, the throttle or only in front.

My money is on him seeing the effect of the propeller, especially at night it will make the lights in front flicker a bit (like a real prop does, too).

I fly the Flight Factor 772V2 mostly. I have check aircraft as simple

as the Cessna 172 and I still have the issue. I do have anti aliasing at

the max and see no difference.

I can still see it when I take off and climb but it becomes less visible.

Again, sounds like the swimming/shimmering as some people call it. Until we have motion vectors and better AA (which apparently go hand in hand) then we just gotta put up with it. 

I appreciate all the help. I was wondering if anyone else noticed it. But it does sound like it's a known phenomenon.

I wasn't sure if it was internet connection which seems to be very stable.

Opposed to some other simulators, X-Plane does not need ANY internet connectivity except when you first download it (unless you have the DVD version) and for occasionally checking if your copy is legit (unless you have the DVD version).

So even if you unplug your computer completely from the internet (once X-Plane is running), it won´t affect your usage at all.

I use the Real-Weather Navigraph/Simbrief/Simlink so I would think it's using it for that?

Yes, the periodic updating of real weather information or any third-party add-ons you use would need an internet connection to function. But this would not affect the display of scenery.

Is there any indication from LR that this will be fixed?
