Mithras Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I had to go and change my graphics card didn't I? From a 760 to a 970, with a driver update too. Now nothing I seem to do can stop horrible gut-wrenching shimmering. Change Water2 to Water 1 stops the shimmering, but I lose Rex texture and Cloud Shadows. I really don't know what else to try - if anyone has suggestions, I love to try them! I've changed the screen resolution, tried to use my old driver, reapplied the DX tweaks to the Nvidia Inspector FSX profile, messed with FSX AA and Aniostropic settings, changed the supersampling settings in the Fixer ... the only other thing I haven't done yet is alter the refresh rate or look at the Nvidia Card settings. You know when you wish you had not bothered?! ? I get the feeling that if I just stuck the 760 back in, the problem would still be there ... because it won't go away ! >: - Paul Elliott [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Come and follow my recreation of this historic light here: HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I firmly believe in "If it ain't broke, then why try to fix or upgrade something"! Do any of the water settings in FSX/Settings have an affect or is it all controlled by REX "the wonder dog"? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

Mithras Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Mmm, I was beginning to agree with you there. Just fly. That is a motto I should have on the door of my sim room. I use DX10 and Steves DX10 Fixer, so its all to do with that ...or Nvidia Inspector... I don't know. But, I did just discover that one tickbox in Steves software says Alternative Reflection Model which certainly gets rid of 95% of the shimmering. So I can fly again ... and breathe again. No more upgrades. No more upgrades. - Paul Elliott [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Come and follow my recreation of this historic light here: HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 No more upgrades. No more upgrades. Glad it's working better! That is until the next Microsoft Windows update!;) Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 I turned that off a long time ago, and Nvidia updates... I'm learning ;) - Paul Elliott [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Come and follow my recreation of this historic light here: HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Ah, no, autogen is still flashing at a distance, airports, wind turbines, power stations, flashing like mad. Something's still wrong. I can revert to DX9 and the flashing goes away, but the water starts swirling again! What have I done? EDIT: If Ye Twiddle Enough Ye Will Succeed! Following a forum 'rumour' I brought up the FSX profile in Nvidia INspector, set AA TRansparency to 4x Sparse Grid Sampling (again), left the rest of AA as Application Controlloed and went to the top of the page to set AA Compatabilities both to Bioshock. There is something called Line Gamma? I set that on too. It worked, no shimmering autogen, no swirling water - and a new Nvidia card. Phew. My wife thought my cat was about to die or something. No, it was far worse! :) My wife has also printed me off a sign for my flight-sim room: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/lord_mithras/justfly_zpsjagda12b.jpg She means it. JUST FLY! Don't upgrade, update or rebuild! - Paul Elliott [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Come and follow my recreation of this historic light here: HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
