    Hi all,

    Is it just me, or does anyone else encounter a strange blurring of the OHLE structures as you drive at speed. In essence, as you approach the OHLE structures, the masts experience a type of blurring, its not that the actual textures blur, but they leave a type of delayed fingerprint, if you will, on the landscape. This tends to occur when there is a large, panoramic view behing the mast.

    The first question is, is it just me? Do I need to adjust some settings? Motion blur is off, if that helps.

    I've noticed this before on many routes - if you look out the side window on the 390 for example at speed I see kind of a black fading bar moving across right to left as I go. Someone previously said to me it was just something unreal engine does, can't remember what they called it

    Yes that perfectly describes it. With the 87 and the wider field of view, its unfortunately really noticeable.

    Its a bit of a shame that TSC managed this type of thing with no issues, yet TSW can't.

    Sounds like Temporal Anti Aliasing (TAA). It works to give you greatly improved visuals by averaging across multiple frames - but this can give that ghosting effect when things move in the scene in some cases unless you're running at a high framerate - so one option here is to make changes to your settings to bring your FPS up as far as possible if it's running low.

    On PC you can turn TAA off, and choose FXAA or nothing at all - it's inferior visually but has no ghosting at all.

    If you have the GPU power, increase the Screen Percentage as far as you can, then turn TAA off and go with just FXAA - using supersampling via screen percentage is going to give the best Anti Aliasing, and switching to FXAA will give *some* automated AA on top, but without TAA you'll then avoid all ghosting.

    BUT. TAA looks really nice. So... it's about picking your trade off, same as with any AA system really.

    Matt.

    Thanks Matt - I remember now that's what the person said it was. AFAIK there was no way to mitigate it on console? Does that sound right please?

    Correct you can't turn it off on console.
    (honestly, one look at FXAA on its own and you'd run screaming back to TAA)

    Try turning motion blur on as that may make it less noticeable.

    Thanks for this Matt, sadly when switching to FXAA (with screen percentage at 200%), the graphics look like a 1990s arcade game (atleast on JTs WCML). I think I'll just have to cope with the ghosting!

    DTG could also finally add DLSS and FSR...
