An unusually bad case of the shimmers.

[RackMonkey]

Normally I wouldn't bother asking and just chalk it up to DCS but this is a bit unusual, no setting I change seems to have any effect. It doesn't get any better or worse. I believe it might be a case of over sharpening.

I run fholger's FSR and reshade mod's. Both have a sharpening setting and I have moved both from the lowest to the highest setting but nothing seems to change. I have changed PD, resolution in SteamVR and the setting in FSR. I've turn SS on and off in SteamVR. Every other thing seems to change when I adjust setting except that the shimmer never moves.

Is there someplace that I don't know about that has a setting for image sharpening or is there something else I should be looking at?

maybe MSAA setting in DCS?? nothing else fixes it for me but MSAA there is a x2 and x4 setting very taxing on the PC but worth it..

I stopped using the reshade mod because of the shimmer, it’s inherent in the sharpening.

 

there is still some present in FSR, make sure sharpness is set to 1.0 rather than 0.0

 

i also use MSAA at x2

I've tried MSAA at 2 and 4. I don't see any change in the image. I do see a change in my FPS and Frametime. FSR gives me 15 FPS and MSAA 2 takes 20. I guess I'll strip DCS down to the studs and start making adjustment again. Maybe I'll find something that will let me change the image at least.

Just a hunch but are you selecting DX-11 in Steam VR?

Yes, I've tried with DX11 forced on and off.
