Guys & girls according to the Nvidia Control Panel Help App this is an OpenGL setting only - I presume MSFS isn't Open GL but am happy to be corrected.

So another " Placebo " fix...LOL

So this setting has no effect in MSFS then? Then why are people here reporting that they see a difference? MSFS is not OpenGL?

It's like Doctor John's Super Elixir.🙄

Lots of people have observed it also affects D3D. I can promise it affects my experience, quite noticeably:

Not necessarily. The implication is that the setting's intended use is to improve OpenGL games -- but that doesn't mean that it won't have an (possibly/probably adverse) effect on some other games if left on. Some people think it's a case of poor wording. AnandTech tested the setting with HalfLife 2, I think it was, which is a Direct 3D game, not open GL, and it negatively affected the graphics. Others in NVIDIA forums have tested it on other non-OpenGL games and have seen a change in quality.

So, it may improve OpenGL games because of the way they work in conjunction with that setting, but the GPU/driver is still potentially trying to do something with the graphics regardless of what rendering engine it's applied to.

I haven't personally tried it yet, but I'll see what happens, if anything.

Well I have tried it, and I thought it helped, but after reading the post, I started to think maybe I "imagined" an improvement. I am going to leave it off anyway.

Tried it but at 64yrs I'm not noticing any discernable (by me) difference.

As it probably means the graphics card is relieved of some burden I think I'll leave it off anyway.👍

I'm not noticing a difference either.... I'm almost half your age hehe.  Maybe it's my 2K monitor.

Looks like a good for some but not for others setting.  I turned mine off and haven't noticed any difference.

Same here, didn't notice any difference.

Yeah, I’m wondering if it might only be noticeable on bigger panels / higher resolutions.

I'm running on a 55 inch 4K screen and don't notice a difference with the setting off. Will have to do some more comparisons.

I have XPlane installed so used an online FOV calculator to set the correct FOV.  I then loaded MSFS and changed the zoom setting until the view from the same position in both sims matched.

I also have (and still enjoy) XP11. Do you have a link for that FOV tool? I'd like to tweak my MSFS - particularly the landing view.

Everyone's system is different, I believe we'll have to  wait till Asobo deals with it, but what's generally thought of as best settings in Nvidia Control Panel, to help with bad AA and shimmering ?

I use this one made by AndyF

I placed an aircraft in XPlane at a parking spot at an airfield with lots of buildings.  I set the FOV as calculated by the FOV tool.  I then placed an aircraft in exactly the same spot in MSFS and adjusted the zoom tool until the view matched XPlane - in my case it was a zoom of 0.80 in MSFS.
