    Shimmery Graphics....How to Eliminate

    Shimmer on cockpit instruments and buildings. How do I get rid of this annoying shimmer? I've tried anistropic, trilinear, bilinear and none, all selected in-game. Shiimer is still there. I"m running at native res of 1920 x 1200. I experienced the same problem with FS9 at one point. I can't remember what I did to eliminate the shimmer, but I did. Now I have it with FSX. It has to be some kind of graphics setting, either in-game or my vid card.

    My card is GTX 580

    The shimmering is usually due to to high a mips setting. But as this isn't usually a problem in FsX and mip settings have to be added to the cfg, it looks like a video card setting. What program do you have to control your video card?
    SYSTEM :
    OS:Win7 Home Premium 64 bit UAC OFF!
    DX version Dx10 with Steve's Fixer.
    Processor:I5 4670k overclocked to 4.4 gHz with Corsair CW-9060008-WW hydro cooler

    Hi guy's

    I get total elimination of shimmering by:

    1. Go to NVDIA Inspector 1.9.5.9 (GeForce 290.53)

    2. Go to AA

    3. If I use 8x sparse grid supersampling=I get total elimination of shimmering....however my frames go down to my ankles!

    I use Nvidia Inspector with the following settings according to Nick Needham:

    AA mode: Override any application settings
    AA setting: 8xS

    AF mode:User defined / off
    AF setting: 16x
    Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias: Clamp
    Texture filtering - Quality: High Quality
    Vsync: on

    I have a 460 GTX and my shimmering is almost gone.
