This is a 4 year old post, and the last post mentioned that you should reach out to support. The recommendation of that post is important, even 4 years later. Resurrecting a 4 year old thread, however...

I’ll pass on submitting a ticket and dealing with your horrible support staff. 

Yep, 4 year old thread. You’d think the issue would be fixed by now, you know in a patch.

Same issue. Lost an 11 hour flight last night because of this. It happened on final approach

All I really care about seeing now that the -8 is out is the NG3 which they apparently are already working on..

For P3Dv4, you should never ever use the Nvidia Inspector.  Lockheed Martin built the graphics settings into the P3D.cfg.  I provided my settings to another member today and here they are - https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhI63XLVLrGnhGDxBE3LGnk_qfIf. 

In the Nvidia Control Panel, make sure the "Adjust Desktop Size and Position" is set to Full Screen.  Default value is Aspect ratio.  In the "Manage 3D Settings" for Prepar3D, I have changed the following settings:

Texture Filtering - AA sample - ON

Texture Filtering - Negative LOD bias - Clamp (this reduces stuttering/shimmering but not completely).  You will never ever see stuttering or shimmering gone completely until the P3D engine (which is an off-shoot of FSX) can be changed.  Right now they have some limitations based on the Microsoft licensing.

Texture Filtering - Quality - High Quality (you might try Performance or High Performance too)(I use High Quality as I have a powerful system).

Texture Filtering - Trilinear optimization - On (believe I turned this on as the Guru - Rob Ainscough recommended it somewhere and I only listen to Rob when using P3D).

 

Thank you

you have no idea how much this helped. My sim was a mess before.

Lol I think some of you forgot Robert did say this: “[Disclaimer: Release is expected- but not guaranteed...stay tuned”

I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

Whether it’s released today or next Friday at least we know it’s finished and  an 8i is coming our way.

Wait a minute. On the website it says that rainmaker is only available for 4.3 and higher. Does this mean it won't work for 4.2 or it's just not supported?

Just make the jump to 4.3. I didn’t want to upgrade either but the performance is much much better.

I found using the nvidia inspector was the problem. I never could run the latest drivers without this happening now it’s fine

Yes. It seems to improve the shimmers and flickers. I haven’t really noticed a negative performance issue in the sim or on the card and I’m running a 1060 3gb at 50fps Vsync 

Thanks Robert.

I guess I'm updating to 4.3 now, was avoiding it.

Dear god. That is an obscene amount of money

Thanks a bunch

That’s an awesome screenshot 

hehe

It's always amusing to watch the lot of you scramble to find clues in mere screen shots. 

I'm hoping it's the updates we were told about.

Ha ha.. Trust me, simming is far more therapeutic than any GF relationship.. 

Amen

We may see it in our sims by 2035

I plan on flying the 8F from Houston to Luanda, Angola (GTI100 I believe)

QW 787 is a real resource hog.  My GPU temps skyrocket

I have a request too. 

Saudia Cargo

It's fair to say I got my moneys worth from both sims.

It happens to me in P3Dv4 but it's tolerable

Soooon. Very soon

Lol my modest little ASUS GR8 II (1060 3gb) works hard. GPU runs 80% to 90%. 

I'm having this issue as well, in fact I've been working on it all afternoon.  I've tried almost every suggestion in this thread and still nothing.
