walterg74 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 So I'm starting to build up my x-plane install, etc. and I've run into an issue that I don't quite know how to fix... It's concerning shadows. Shadows inside the cockpit, and also external shadows, for example those of my aircraft against the runway or parts of the aircraft against other parts of the fuselage. The level of jaggedness they have is horrendous, and really take away from the immersion factor. I have seen videos/screenshots of other folks where these are quite smooth, but I haven't found a way to change the settings on my setup to come even remotely close to that. Just to be clear, this is not a "general" issue with the settings and rendering options. EVERYTHING else (the aircrafts themselves, scenery, instruments, etc.) are just great and as smooth as you set the AA options to. It is just with this element, the shadows, where I have problems. Here are some sample screenshots: http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2016/05/29/Bell407_4.jpg http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2016/05/29/Bell407_5.jpg http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2016/05/29/Bell407_6.jpg http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2016/05/29/Bell407_7.jpg Does anyone have any idea/clue as to what could be wrong/what I could try?

RatRace Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 If you are using the HDR rendering mode, as you should, you should also leave the anti-alias level parameter at "none". Use the HDR-specific method of anti-aliasing instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip. - James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
