I found this Lua script and plugin for XP12 at the org that the author in his own words say: "the plugin adds temporal anti-aliasing by exposing motion vectors the sim doesn't provide."

Btw I installed it and my session CTD, yet to try new update of the script and plugin posted today. Anyone had success with it? is the shimmering finally gone?

yea thats my plugin!
i fixed ALOT of crashes last update along with tons of new feattures and visual improvements, including contact shadows, frame gen etc etc
could i have your log file.

Everything about this and its source code smells of AI vibe coded slop. I would tread extremely carefully.

yea it is vibecoded. Its literally mentioned on the download page....
"Also if u haven't noticed this project is Vibe Coded."

I tried today your latest update, I went to flywithlua to run the macro for displaying your control panel, it just won't load, all files are correctly placed and started XP12 from your launcher. I don't see any difference yet, will continue testing later to see what is going on, the plugin seems to be loaded, I can see it in the plugin administrator.

Surely sloppiness is down to the developer? I'm pretty sure plenty of human coded software is sloppy. .

I wrote 100 percent of my companies software for ten years. I haven't coded anything for twenty years, and I had no intention of learning a new language, so in my mind sixties AI has given me the ability to create some add-ons.

I would have thought the end result is what matters, rather than the development tool.

This chap has developed something unique. If it works, and doesn't take too many FPS or have too many crashes, hats off to him.

I really hope to make this plugin work later, the author's idea is brilliant. I saw a comment at the org from someone who made the plugin work that goes something like the the AA now looks like XP11 with all the XP12 prettiness, only that makes this plugin worth a lot.

I got it running but I still see shimmering in the foreground.

And what is taking Laminar so long, they should have had motion vectors out many months ago, sigh...

Any side by side videos showing the improvement.

Theyre just simply not stupid enough to do too many things at once, little by little to prepare the way. If they bent to every users whim, xplane would be a disaster

If anyone has ANY issues can i have your log files with a brief discription?

I really doubt you can have true motion vectors without access to X-Plane source code. So if motion vector are inferred from other parameters like view and aircraft motion, it must be prone to artifacts (which is apparently the case, judging by the comments at the .org).

If I see a piece of code commented with typically verbose AI phrases, I doubt that the code has been properly reviewed by the person who prompted it, especially when the end result promises to do something that the underlying engine can not (for very good reasons).

Rendering engines are complex affairs. A core feature like motion vectors requires a very thorough refactoring or even rewrite.
