XP12rc4 Anti Aliasing Issue

[@PixelatedExistence]

Xplane 12, like other versions has a next to useless built in Anti Aliasing implementation. Even when setting to x8 it still looks broken and the sim then runs like a 3 legged dog high on weed! Many Xplane fans are either in complete denial or recommend 3dr part apps or NVidia tweaks. Am using an RTX 4090 running in 4k and the AA is just awful, as are all the artefacts you mention here in your excellent video demonstration. The fact this AA issue has still not been fixed in 12.07 shows they either cant fix it or don't care. It makes the sim look awful! Shimmering shadows on the sea from coastlines is another blaring issue. Austin keeps adding cool stuff to his sim, but fails to make the basic sim look cool! Anti Aliasing needs a fix that am afraid they know will either destroy the framerate of the sim, or they just cant quite sort it out without breaking too much of the other stuff in the sim. Compare this sim to MSFS 2020 or The excellent version 2.9 of DCS world, now both using DLSS and TAA, and see why x plane is so broken. X plane 12 is supposed to be the best blah blah..but in reality its miles behind the rest of the crowd. Its ironic as x plane is a great sim, and version 12 was sold and promoted mainly on its new graphical improvements! Sadly basic AA isn't one of those improvements!

Bingo. Similar setup to you and it’s a tremendous shame as I do really enjoy how lightweight XP is and definitely the flight dynamics. Ugh. As always … if only we could cherry pick from each sim….

One year later and this still isn’t fixed! I’ve been trying since release to solve this issue but no matter how much I troubleshoot, nothing seems to work. Hopefully LR gets around to solving this, but I can’t bring myself to use XP12 until this issue is gone.

I had the exact same issue while in the cockpit of the Rotate MD-11 during the last flight. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Thank you very much for this video, I already started to think that it's just me. So same issue, white outlines and rough edges everywhere, like there is no AA at all. I habe an MSI RTX 3090. I hope this issue is somewhere at the front on their fix list.

I'm having that problem too... although my graphic settings is all max, it's anti ailiasing quality is quiet low... (FHD, RTX3070)

I rage quit from X-Plane 12 because of this issue. Did it ever get fixed?

[@CajunJosh]

I haven't seen it happen yet in the latest 12.06b5

[@tinblue]

@@CajunJosh I re-installed and still see horrendous shimmering around the screens and buttons in Rotate's MD-11. I don't know if it's a Rotate problem or a an X-Plane 12 problem. But for me it's just horrible and I'm surprised more people aren't complaining about it. I don't seem to see the same issues with the stock planes. So something is very badly wrong with the MD-11.

[@CajunJosh]

@@tinblue my bad tribute. I thought you were commenting on the odd scan line shadows that were getting cast on aircraft during sunset. Yeah, when it comes to the shimmering I still see it too, it's better on some modules than others but still pretty apparent especially in VR.
