sichars1968 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Just wondering if anyone has seen this strange phenomenom in XP 10.When flying in areas with fields I see a strange flickering caused by dashed lines sort of moving between the fields. One area I have seen this is around Sacramento(KSMF), I have attached a screen capture to try and show this.Has anybody else witnessed this, and do you think it is a graphics driver issue? I am presently using the latest Beta driver from nVidia 290.53, which apart from this seems very good.CheersSimon Edited January 20, 2012 by sichars1968 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlorianR Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hmm, try turing up the AA. just a thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karingka Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Don't think that would help, AA already seems to be turned up quite high telling from how good the cockpit looks. Strange issue, not sure what it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskeyportal Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I get the same effect on the sides of mountains occasionally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sichars1968 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I run AA and AF at 4x which gives good results apart from this.I have tried both higher and it doesn't fix the problem and doesn't really enhance the visuals any more than both on 4x to justify the hit in performance.I will see what others post and then maybe file a bug report.ThanksSimon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larjeet Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Do you have HDR turned on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larjeet Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I do notice this when HDR is on I have found that some of them are rivers and water but others I am not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sichars1968 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi larjeetI have filed a bug report on it today, so I will wait and see what comes of it. I don't fly with HDR on because I can't get it to look right, and it causes such a frame hit. What AA setting do you use FXAA?CheersSimon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larjeet Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yes FXAA the other setting just killed my frame rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sichars1968 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hi larjeetI have AA and AF set to application controlled in nVidia control panel and set it through X-Plane rendering, do you set any FXAA settings on your graphics card control panel?ThanksSimon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larjeet Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 I dont believe AMD has FXAA settings . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larjeet Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) I notced that your frame rate is showing at 71+ FPS are you running with Vsync on if not try enableing it . what is the refresh rate of your monitor 60 hz ? if so your frame rate is exeding yor refresh rate and this can cause texture tearing . Also I have noticed that I have flickering lines in the distance but these usualy turn out to be reflections from lakes or rivers in the distance.

sichars1968 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hi LarryHaving read the Developer Blog regrding vsync I don't think it would be the best idea to enable it. As you say my refresh rate is 60Hz and from my understanding the problem is, when enabled if the FPS goes below 60 then you framerate is effectively halved to 30 FPS becuase a frame wouldn't have been rendered in its entirety and therefore would need to be drawn on the nest render.I may give it a try and I'll let you know what happened.CheersSimon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sichars1968 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I tried enabling V-Sync and it is smooth to start with but as soon as the framerate goes below 60 it gets lower and lower. Pretty much as Ben explained in the Blog.Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
