Jagged horizont

[TCW_Spear]

Hello, I really need help. Don't know why, but the horizon, specially when flying low is very jagged, not looking good. 

When the horizont is moving (in turn) it gets better, but still not good. I tried every possible combnation of settings, whatever I do, iz doesn't get any better.

When I change antialiasing, it has no effect. I also tried to do some changes in NVIDIA control panel, didn't help.

Anyone has any idea, how I could solve this? I read many threads, did not help. Ok, I'm a kind of a dinosauer for IT, so I don't understand when it goes in details, unfortunately.

Thank you, for any kind of help!

Use MSAA, not FXAA. In game. X2, X4 or X8. GPU intensive.

 

In Nvidia CP, enable antialiasing FXAA post-process filter. No cost. 

It gets better, but we cannot solve it without enabling transparency supersampling antialiasing. Don't use it. You will get smoke red bug.

I use MSAA x4. I also enabled FXAA in Nvidia CP, and it didn't get any better. What is transpareny supersampling antialiasing?

The problem with the antialiasing of this game is that it does not work well with transparent textures (water, glass, clouds...). 

There is an antialiasing that only applies to that kind of textures. In order to activate it you need Nvidia Inspector. 
 

But in this simulator it generates graphic failures in the smokes, with red-pink-orange color and flickering.

There are several TSSAA modes. And several levels. You will have to find out for yourself. As well as the cost in performance.

a tip if you're on an Nvidia card, and depending on your base resolution, is to use the DSR to artificially "increase" the resolution to 2K or 4K: at these resolutions, no need for antialiasing anymore. ..

Ok, will try with DSR, ok, at this moment don't know what are we talking about, but I'm sure google knows ?.

Is this jagging, shimmering, flickering issue something that is common at il2? One year ago, when I started to play this game, I don't think I noticed this. Did it come with any of updates?

It was there since the the day one I fly this sim.

reduce the horizon distance to minimum 
use blur 
turn off sharpen 
use msaa x2 x4

you can minimise it but theirs no way to get rid of it
it also depends on the map

In ROF there was a Nvidia inspector option to get rid of horizon shimmering, it was sparse grid super sampling set to same value as AA in game. ROF use dx9  i don't know if this option work with dx11.

you find the DSR option in your Nvidia control panel: check all the options offered... once in the game, in the options, choose the resolution that interests you (the higher it is, the more the image is smooth/sharp, but the more resource it requires...) and that's it... (from 2k, you could, I think, turn off the anti-aliasing filters...)

it may seem heavy in terms of resources, but depending on the games and your configuration, it can be very effective and better than antialiasing (in terms of visuals or resource consumption...)

Well, i tried many combinations during the weekend, DSR, Inspector, Nvidia control pannel, in game settings... (most of the time I didnt know exactly what am I doing :)) It is maybe a little better, but still not ok. What bothers me, is that, I'm not sure when this jagging/shimering/flickering began. Maybe it was there frome the start, and my eyes just realized that. Dont know, I dont remember. Maybe it  started with some Windows update or games update... It looks I will just have to get used to it. Thanks guys for all the help!

 

it looks like this:

What resolution is IL-2 actually set to run in?

[TCW_Spear]

I have 2560x1080. Do u think if I reinstall the game, it would fix it. This problem at my case started recently, I think after last update. 

What also bothers me, is that jaggies/shimmer appears only when "picture" is not moving. When it moves like in turns or when I move my look around, its clear and ok...

I find that the FPS drop scales directly with the DSR setting. At 2.25 DSR it takes 85 FPS down to 38 FPS. It does enhance the look a bit, but I'm not sure it's worth the hit. On my system, DSR 2.25 runs the game at 5160 x 2160 on a 3440 x 1440 monitor.
