Aircraft Texture Shimmering

[Davies]

Hi all,

This problem has been annoying me for a extremely long amount of time now and I'd really like to know if there is a way to fix it. I have tried many driver versions with and without nHancer and no matter what combination of settings I use (trust me I've tried countless combinations in FS Settings/Driver Settings/nHancer) I cannot fix it. I took some screenshots to help me explain the issue to you.

Here is a side view of the SIA A380. No shimmer/jaggies edident on the textures.

As I pan around, the textures begin to shimmer.

is this just one plane? all planes? Default planes too?

My FSX and Nhancer settings are very clear.. if you use them exactly as I posted and this problem occurs with repaints and/or an aircraft you downloaded, I would have to point to the textures of the aircraft being used, or, something is not allowing Nhancer to do its job correctly.

you also did not menition if this is FSX or FS9 and you did not mention the video card in use or the driver revision

This is on all downloaded aircraft and AI aircraft.

I'm using FS9 and a Nvidia 7900GS. Every driver version results in the same problem. I've tried about 6 different drivers ranging from Forceware 90's to 180 (cant remember exact versions) on Windows XP

Where can I find your nHancer settings?

I've tried countless numbers of combinations of driver, FS9 and nHancer settings experimenting to see if I can get the problem fixed. Not once have I ever seen it without the shimmer. My very old computer which had a Geforce 2 MX even managed to reduce the same aircraft shimmer when increasing the 'Image Quality' setting to Quality or High Quality. On my 7900GS there is no difference between High Performance or High Quality in relation to this issue (even with nHancer). Tried mucking around with the texture clamp setting too and no avail. I'm starting to think its a hardware limitation and not software due to the fact I've tried so many combinations and NOTHING seems to fix it.

Any ideas at all?

This is FS9 on a old 7900...
