Severe shimmering in 4.5

[Hageneezz]

Hello all,

I have recently purchased Prepar3d 4.5, and it runs superbly on my medium end pc. The only problem I have is severe shimmering, especially on taxiway and runway lines. I have enabled FXAA through the nvidia control panel, which helps a bit, but the side effect of that is that the VC panel instruments are harder to read...

Is there a real fix for this shimmering problem?

Windows 10-64 bit
Asus Prime B460M-A
I5-10600K
16GB DDR4 RAM
Nvidia Geforce GTX 1660

Windows 10 and Prepar3d both installed on SSD

Thanks!

So I have tried many different settings, but unfortunately the shimmering remains.

I don`t know if this is even possible, but it looks like anything else but DX9 is broken on my system\

I also use FSX, and in DX9 mode everything is smooth, no shimmers whatsoever. When I use DX10 mode, the shimmering
is there also.

Is it possible my DX10,11 and 12 are broken? Can I reinstall this without mucking everything up?

I am a novice at these things, so that`s why I am asking

Thx again

DX10 has known issues with FSX. It been some time since I had FSX, but I think there is something called "Steve's DX10 Fixer". But I never ran FSX in DX10, since it's not its native mode.

However, in P3D v. 4.5 you use DX11. Try searching the web for:

DX11 broken

That will give you some things to try.
