    Shimmering facilities

    I seem to have an issue with some facilities which I use for expressing bomb damage. They are producing a shimmer effect. See pic. The detail on the facilities in the next post.

    The facilities are various 'city targets' some with ***fs buildings which means buildings with special bomb damage effect lines, while others are without those effects. I put them over major cities in the global layer.

    So I decide to run a separate trial missions with groups of the facilities I use in the gsl. No problem! So I went back to a test over London where they're plenty of the facilities. No shimmering!

    Am I to assume it is not related to the actual facilities but some other effect?

    Sounds reasonable. Looking at the effects would be my first port of call.

    I wasn't thinking so much about effects related to facilities, but something else 'effecting' them; i.e. at a higher level in the sim. Or even the video card in some way? That is ,given that they are not always there.

    You might look in configOverrides.xml at <ZBiasFlatEffects val="25"/>. Changing the value may help eliminate the flickering.
