[FSX] Shimmering/Flickering night lights

[Er!k]

I just completed my first flight into EKCH, landing on RWY 22L. I noticed som heavy shimmering and flickering in the areas left and right from the runway. I have attached a picture below:

The shimmering is much less if you are nearby the lights involved. It are the city lights causing this behaviour.

It's the city 3D lights indeed, I will have to adjust texture shimmering from distance.
thanks

Thanks for the update.

Shimmering has now been reduced, but I still have 3d lights that flash on an off.

Can this be fixed?

Please send a screenshot of this, just to make sure I m dealing with the right issue

I see blinking 3d lights in this area:

Unfortunately the patch does not make much difference for me. Still a lot of shimmering from the city lights. I can also confirm the blinking of the 3D lights.

Er!k,

Are you using SGSS?

When using dx9 I use 8xs + 2SGSS + 16anis filtering. For DX10 I use 4SGSS.

SGSS is the cure for shimmering, unless the scenery needs tweaking as was the case with these 3d lights.

Since I don't like the flashing 3d lights, I've decided to disable the 3d lighting system. I'm glad I have that option.

[Er!k]

I try to avoid SGSS, since it may cause serious performance issues at some airports (like Aerosoft's LFPO)... Disabling is indeed an option as well

Hi, unfortunately i´m having the blinking /flashing city lights issue as well (FSX/DX10), hopefully you have a solution in the pipeline ! Btw, amazing scenery.
