No more blurries or shimmering! (Well, almost…)

I came across this blog entry setting out how to get rid of the dreaded blurries. As the article points out, quite often you can end up with a lot of “texture shimmering” as a byproduct of getting rid of the blurries.

I’ve tried the 2 part fix detailed on the blog and have had fantastic results, so this now goes on my own personally maintained list of  FSX Best Tips :)

In summary (I’ve only tried this on my nVidia card - not sure if it’ll work with any others):

• Add MipBias=6 to the [Display...] section of fsx.cfg
• In your nVidia display control, find the section for “Negative LOD Bias” and change it to “Clamp”

This resulted in even clearer scenery than from my previous suggestions and also removed virtually all of the shimmering. There’s still a little left, but nothing too distracting.
