@Digital X

Good to hear! The reason for the value 8 came when we in the beginning had problems with black
areas, both seen from the cabin and in the menus. But that was solved in another way, so now we
are free to choose its value!

I could have sworn I set it it 0 before, but I think my brain thought "higher means better" and just slapped 8 on it.

@Digital X

I think that in first post it might still be set to "8". I may need to change that! :laugh3: :cool:

EDIT: Nah, it was already done! Pheeeewwww! :tease: :smoke:

Not quite sure why it's 8 tbh, I thought it be like anisotropic with 4x, 8x, 16x.
Also anisotropic filter has nothing to do with shimmering...

I'm well aware.

I meant the values going up in 2's.

Just to clear up the menu AA thing.

menus in game use SSAA at 8 by default.
We force MSAA on to game and that messes up the menu AA a bit.
SSAA + MSAA = Lower menu image quality.
We therefore remove that SSAA bit by setting 0.
Just MSAA in menus now! Much better.

@BenganJ - I think it's time to remove the rubber-banding comment about menu AA in first post:
", but if you get rubber-banding then use default value "8""
It clearly has no affect on the driving screen now after many hours driving since we changed that and no comments from others?

But as it seems people may think menu AA needs to by higher, not lower.
Perhaps replace with this instead?

//This will give a better AA in menus. Note: "0" disables in game menu SSAA so that it doesn't conflict with NPI MSAA, which provides the best result. [New April 26th 2021]

DONE! But I shortened it a bit as we already tell in the first part the same as at the end! Like this.
