sorry guys, tried it all... none of it seems to work though. Thanks for your help anyway. But it does seem that the headmovements make the shimmering more pronounce than mouse movements. Hope Eric has some beter results! Ray

hi KingGhidorah, It would explain the difference is shimmering between trackir and mouse movements. Could you perhaps share your AA/SS settings in some more detail? Hi alan, I couldn't agree more. Default settings almost brought me to the point of returning the thing. But when I found the sethflight profile, i decided to keep it ^_^ Much better! Ray

Hi Souls, the track-clip pro works really well and since it's 'cold 'n dark' here during winter I don't think this is it. I'll keep an eye out for it though! Hi Kowgli Yes, I also use ezdok. All seems to work fine but I'll have a go at it. Will report back as soon as possible (for a father of two very energetic two-year old boys) - unchecking the 'trueview' box was the only change I had to make after watching the video. Couldn't see any improvements though.. thanks for the idea's guys, but it's a strange thing... Ray

Hi Alan! I'm always in windowed mode because I use the second screen for other applications while simming. But ofcourse I did give it a go in full-screen. Unfortunately, there was no difference. TrackIR=shimmering, mouse-look=fine. Just a thought, but could the movements made bij trackIR be so tiny that this causes shimmering? I tried to replicate it by moving the mouse very slowly but couldn't replicate the small movements made by trackIR. Ray

Hi all, I've been experiencing quite a lot of shimmering in FSX. Over the last weeks I have been searching high and low for solutions and I've probably covered almost topic. Until now I have been able to reduce it somewhat but there was a moment I just accepted it as part of FSX-life ;-) Until yesterday, when I noticed something strange.... When I use TrackIR5 the shimmering is there, but when I pan around with the mouse (using the middle mouse button), the shimmering is practically gone! It's really odd but true! I've only been able to find one topic on this but there wasn't much info there. Anyone experiencing the same thing? Or better, know a solution?

@TechguyMaxC okay so highernumber=better. Stil not really sure what the "Ti" means but budget wise, the 660Ti is just within reach. This review seems to rate is a pretty good, it kind of closed the deal for me (I guess... well.... for now :lol: ) http://www.flightsimworld.com/forums/topic/201564-gtx-660-ti-the-300-card-that-performs/ The memory upgrade will have to wait another month or two. The TrackIr5 has already emptied my pockets this summer ^_^ Ray

thanks guys, this is really helpfull. I can't believe the quick reactions. So, the graphics need upgrading and (I didn't realise this) the memory needs to be replaced. Budget wise, I guess I'll have to save up twice. But hey, no pain no FPS gain! The 560Ti card had already caught my eye and a whole lot of nice youtube vids seem to be made using this card. Ben recommended a 660, but a comparison is hard to make for me. The 'Ti' seems to be somehow more important than the higher number (??) And for the memory, I'm just not sure yet what to get 8 or 16 Gb. Any idea's or opinions? So the first thing that has to go is the Radion 6870! (anybody interested? Ha ha ha!) Ray

Hi Ben, Thanks for your informative answer, very usefull! I've been looking at memory modules sold by my local store and they've only got CL11 memory in stock. Do you know if this is better/worse than CL9? Opinions on the net range from 'no difference' to complete disagreements :lol: Got any idea's on that? Oh and would you recommend 8Gb (or more)? I remember reading somewhere that FSX doesn't require a whole lot or memory. Thanks, Ray

Hi all, i've just found these forums and read through the stickies and so on. Lots of info there, really really great. Nice to know I've done a couple of this 'right'. But now I'm looking to upgrade one or two components of my pc. Having read through many stuff I think I shoud go for a new graphic card update but I really would like to hear some of your opinions. Budget is around 200-250 euro. some relevant specs: Intel Core i7-2600K, 3.40GHz, 8MB, HD3000, S1155 (OC to 4.4Ghz) Corsair XMS3 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz CL9 (2x=16gb) Asus P8P67 EVO S1155 P67 4xDDR3 ATX Sapphire Radeon HD 6870, 1GB, FleX Lite 1920x1080p Monitor 160gb SSD I'm running FSX with the PMDG NGX, REX Essentials and some aerosoft airport add-on. On the ground I get 13-16 FPS and in the air 18-24 FPS. I've already tweaked the software in all possible ways, from updates in fsx.ini to an external frame limiter. So, in your opinion, what new hardware would give me the most 'bang for the buck'? (okay.... in need more FPS's!! :lol: ) Thanks Ray
