Tree Flicker Fix for my nVidia card

[congo]

I just installed a new video card driver and I jumped into FS9 and found the dreaded flickers! I've always accidently fixed it over and over for a long time now but didn't know how I did it.

Now I know.

Go into the driver settings and untick application controlled on Antialiasing and anisotropic filtering and set them manually. No more flickers! I could set the mipmapping in FS9 to any setting at all with no flickering.

As I understand it... newer Nvidia cards/drivers are taking advantage of adaptive aa automatically. ATI is just starting to introduce the feature.

I'm not sure, but the problem I'm describing responds to the fix I mention across a wide range of drivers issued over time. It's just that now I finally know exactly what the fix is.

As you can see in the pic, the textures are quite clear in the background and this is completely flicker free.

What driver are you using?

I have set my AA and AF manually but I still have flickers.
And stutters too for that matter.

Make sure you have application controlled turned off in the driver settings, best quality.

Run FS9 in Full Screen mode and turn off any antialiasing in the sim's settings. Set all the parameters in the display settings to max except the texture size and the autogen can be reduced a notch or 2 depending on preference.

Turn scenery ground shadows off!

I'd be willing to bet that the sim would run fine on a freshly installed WinXP (with no other auto updates or junk). You could buy another hard disk and test it.

True, but you can just registry hack the CCC to add Adaptive Anti-Aliasing, what cards does it support anyway?

It works on my 9600xt, when i turn Ad-AA on tree flickers disappear.
