Re: Anti-Aliasing is much worse in v5.3... This is ridiculous.

No need for aggressiveness. It works for me, but I don't have any explanation for how or why. I only removed AS and its folders and reinstalled it, and since then things are fine. So yes I did try it and it worked for me, but it might not work for others. Just worth a try I guess, just my 5 cents. I...

Re: 5.3HF1 Update 1 - TrueSky Clouds; FPS

Are you using Active Sky? In my case, I completely uninstalled AS, and deleted the folder of it. Then reinstalled and much much better.

Re: Anti-Aliasing is much worse in v5.3... This is ridiculous.

I had this problem, but have changed my display setting in Nvidia to Dynamic Super Resolution 2715x1527. It was still a problem, so I decided to completely uninstall HiFi Active Sky, and manually delete its folder. Then reinstalling it. Things are working perfectly now, no shimmer on edges and much ...

Re: Anti-Aliasing is much worse in v5.3... This is ridiculous.

I only see this when using full screen. If I have P3D in a window, with the Microsoft Windows menu bar visible at the top and the bottom, the shimmer is gone. It might be a resolution issue of the monitor, or parameters set in the NVIDIA control panel, rather than an issue with P3D?

Re: Mesh changing by itself once in a while

Hi Martyson, thank you for your response. I always uninstall via add/remove programs in windows the complete P3D (although I do not manually erase any folders or files beyond that) before installing a new full install of a new version of P3D. This way, my add-ons stay in place (airplanes, orbx, etc)...

Mesh changing by itself once in a while

Hi, I am with P3Dv5.2HF1 and I always set my mesh at 5m. Yet, once in a while when starting the program it has changed mesh to 2m by itself. Also, I have the controllers off (I use fsuipc), but it sometimes reactivates itself. Not sure what might be causing this change, easy to revert, but just want...

Re: White Shimmering Dots

I had this too initially, but switching on FXAA in P3D image and texture quality settings has practically solved it.

Re: ATIS in P3D5.2 not working at GCTS Tenerife South

Many thanks for verifying this. In that case, it must be an issue with the MK-Studios / Orbx add-on airport.

ATIS in P3D5.2 not working at GCTS Tenerife South

Hello, I cannot get any reaction from the ATIS at GCTS. Is something missing in the default? Thanks for any advice.

Take care with Chaseplane settings in P3Dv5

Truesky is really looking great now on my P3Dv5.1HF1 in combination with Active Sky and Envdir (that has its own setting for Truesky). Be careful with ChasePlane where the preferences and HDR override has a balanced brightness (only valid for P3Dv3 and v4) and an Enable HDR override. With those sett...

Re: P3D V5.1HF1 - Very impressive changes - THANKS!

I want to add my thanks to the team for this latest update. It is looking greater than ever and EA is already fantastic. I only spotted a few issues at the wing tip or mountain tops when clouds are low, but nothing too distracting and the lighting is superb. Awesome!

Re: v5 Cloud Flickering

I seem to suffer this mostly when flying above land (all Orbx), and not much above the sea or ocean. Maybe it relates to a clash between texture loads and cloud loading.

Re: v5 Cloud Flickering

Indeed, I also find that reducing the cloud drawing distance seems to significantly reduce the frequency of any cloud flickering.

Re: v5 Cloud Flickering

I also have this with or without using any weather addon. Hope a solution can be found, it is the only distracting element of an otherwise great P3Dv5.

Re: Sunken runway (airport elevation)

Many thanks Alfredo, I suspected that ADE would be needed. I never really tried it, but I will give it a go.
