Title: Flickering...
Post by: jackpilot on January 11, 2011, 06:05:27 PM
...yeah like my memory.
As I project a 4'X8' image in full screen I noticed  annoying flickering of some small scenery objects, I found a way to eliminate it but this was long ago. Do not remember which setting to play with.
Please  "refresh"
Thanks

For such a mature product you would have thought that they would have eliminated texture popup and even scenery popups. When the weather changes it's like someone flips a switch and it goes from thunderstorm to bright sunny day in a split second.

But like Jack says... the flickering is annoying as hell.

It is a great product and I love it.
My question is which of the display sliders or Nvidia setting helps to eliminate most of it.

Dont know if you have done any computer or driver upgrades but if your using a recent Nvidia driver then Anti-aliasing and Anisotropic filtering is broken in FSX and FS9 and require software called Nhancer or Nvidia Inspector for the latest and greatest drivers. If not then those are what you want to play with in the usual nvidia console. Also mip mapping can causing shimmering if its set to high on some systems.

NHancer doesn't work but nVidia Inspector does...

Go to http://www.simforums.com/forums/nhancer-settings-for-new-drivers-updated-v1932_topic36586.html and use those settings and it DOES clear the flickering textures. I know it says nhancer settings but they are the settings for nVidia Inspector heh.

It's improved my FSX picture quality tenfold...

Thank YOU Gary... I wouldn't have thought of using that utility to solve flickering textures.

Just spent a great session flying and not a flicker in sight. It's even smoothed out the weather problems I was having.
