thanks Jan I thought it was just my graphics card or driver I tried many settings on my card and afs2 but none made any difference didn't think it was anything to do with afs just the card limitation.

Jim

ok just installed the driver but this has not made any difference still get shimmering

Jim

Hi in a earlier post (shimmering) I mentioned that autogen was shimmering and jagged runway lines, today I noticed I had nvidia GeForce experience installed I haven't used this but was wondering if this could be the problem as afs2 used to look a lot nicer so I have uninstalled latest driver and will do a fresh install of graphics driver without GeForce experience,can you just select the driver only.

thanks,Jim

Have you tried uninstalling the c172 cold and dark mod and just try the default 172

Jim

thanks high flyer dsr has made a difference not eliminated the problem but much improved smoothness set at 50

jim

Hi I will adjust the dsr what is dsr hopefully this will help.

thanks,jim

deleated the mcf file but made no difference played about with the graphics settings no difference autogen close up looks great in the distance just seems to flicker, anyThing else I can try.

Thanks,jim

Thanks Jeff I haven't but I'll give it a try

Jim

hi I have noticed that my scenery shimmers more in the distance houses look fine looking out the window but when looking into the distance the scenery does seem to flicker this is in 2d mode also look down onto the top of aircraft and lines look jagged tried changing the antialiasing in graphics settings of my card which did improve the look but fps dropped to 60 normally run at 120fps so set my card back to default, inside the cockpits they are sharp even in vr just wondering if any graphic settings n my 1080 card I can adjust to help with the shimmering ,latest nvidia driver installed and running afs at 2560x1440 nice and smooth tried higher res but again fps drop.

Jim

Hope you enjoy your first flight it is a big difference from flying in vr with all the added elements as Ray mentioned I'm sure you will get to fly the aircraft that way you will get a good idea if flying for real is for you my instructor was never too happy I used fsx as he said I picked up a lot of bad habits always looking at the instruments and not enough looking outside of the aircraft, enjoy your flight.

Quote from Spit40

John Venema has made it pretty clear that photoreal scenery of the UK is prohibitively expensive and that we won't be getting UK scenery from Orbx (and therefore presumably from anyone) for a good loooong while. So, it looks like us UK folk need to roll our own. With that in mind could I encourage IPACS to give a final push to making Goeconvert as simple, automated and bullet proof as possible? The focus seems to have shifted to cultivation but we're now dependent on this tool/process. I'm reasonably progressed on the learning curve but others are behind. Please:

1. Include the Geconvert helper as part of a best practice workflow, or write your own if you don't want to be dependent on a 3rd party
2. Max out the error reporting in simple language so we don't need to guess and test as to why certain areas come out blurry or have other problems
3. When the time is right facilitate the sharing of cultivation files and 3d scenery elements

One other thought is that if we're now dependent on Geoconvert then a smaller simple download that includes all of what is needed and none of what isn't would be useful for people who need to get into this for the first time.

If you can't give us UK scenery please make it easier for us to make our own. The folks in Norway are in the same boat.

Thank you... and thank you for Colorado and tireless debugging and everything else you're doing during your 29 hour days.

P.S. I put this in General rather than Geconvert as it needs general visibility

I too am dissapointed that orbx won't being doing uk and Norwegian scenery as its too expensive both have some of the most beautiful scenery in the world so looks like geoconvert is the way to go, I have looked at geoconvert read over the tutorials but still get confused on using this software maybe some video tutorials would help I prefer learning From videos rather than going through confusing manuals ok the videos may take some of ipacs valuable time but if more people could benefit from them a lot more geoconvert scenery could be done, also it would be great if user created scenery could be made available for download.

Technically they are my videos.

Thanks HighFlyer for posting them.

If you would like, i can make one main thread and post all four as separate responses, then I can add to it as I come out with more (and there are definitely more coming, people seem to absolutely love seeing the sim so far)!

people also enjoy your videos,keep em coming.

Jim

Hi I'm using both sceneries there is no clash at all you have hi res Switzerland then a lower mesh between Switzerland and Innsbruck it all blends in nice lots of detailed airports,flying over this scenery with a ga plane it looks amazing well worth the full price never mind the sale one.

Jim

went to the link to get fset but cant install as the page is closed anywhere else I can get fset.

thanks,jim

Thank you ipacs team looking forward to the new scenery.

Jim

Hi thought I ask again about getting a map view in vr mode I mostly fly the Cessna and baron in vr and the map in the Cessna is not clear none at all in the baron and it's annoying coming out of vr to view map or make adjustments to your start position or plan flights.

Thanks,Jim

This looks amazing, will this ever be available to afs2 users as a download I know I won't be able to do all this scenery by myself so hats off to everyone who is contributing to make afs2 a great flightsim.

Thanks,jim

Ok I will hold off on the reinstall thank you for the help and taking the time to try and get this problem resolved.

Jim

i already had the antiliasing problem but shadows where ok but now they are not , will try a reinstall see if that helps.

Thanks,jim

It looks like theproblem is with the shadows on the buildings they are jumping around and if you select minimum shadows they disappear is this the same problem I definitely did not have this before update I had another issue, when I clicked on my afs2 icon to start afs steam opened and I was asked to download afs but I already had it installed but I went with the download and steam checked all the files is this the normal procedure for afs2 updates.

Thanks,jim
