Nick Cooper Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Hello Empire, I fell into the same trap as you have. Instead of setting the sharpening in the Global setting, use the Program Settings tab and set the sharpening for the exe file in question, fsx.exe, Prepar3D.exe, X-Plane.exe and so on. Then the sharpening will be applied to the game only and leave the rest of your software as it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to confirm that his suggestion works perfectly Adam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might release the next drivers that will improve it as when I flick to and from different camera angles you can see the sharpening flicking dots. But fixing the fsx.cfg as it's still reading the old GPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But fixing the fsx.cfg as it's still reading the old GPU Hello Empire If your changes to fsx.cfg don't help as much as you would like, you might try reducing the sharpening setting and increasing the film grain setting to see if you can reduce/eliminate the "sharpening flicking dots". Sharpening is very much an exercise in moderation & fine adjustments - too much can introduce any number of artifacts. And ultimately sometimes it can't be reduced to a satisfactory level, in which case you might have to decide whether to use it or not.

ChriKa Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Hi folks, one question please: What are your experiences regarding the use of the sharpening Option? Does it reduce the frame-rate on your systems? Thanks best and happy easter to everyone.

shermank Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hi all, after reading this latest post, I did a google search for best NVCP settings with P3D. I found an interesting thread at Avsim... Among dozens of posts, one was particularly intriguing. It recommended setting Sharpening to .56, but leaving the granular setting at default .17. i booted up, flying the A2A Cessna 182 around KSBA, Using Active Sky, PTA and Adam's 2.67 .ini file for the shaders. i did not take a screen shot, but I was astounded at the huge difference I found by boosting sharpening to .56 from default .50. There were no stutters, I had FPS at 60, no Vsync and most of the other default settings for P3D. In short, richer color depth, Crystal clear sharp images, no stuttering, and my hair no longer falls out when I shower. OK, I’m kidding about my hair, but the rest stands.
