For anyone that hasn’t seen this:
The captain has sent me this compilation of his posts showing and explaining the shimmer problem from his perspective if anyone wants to have a look. My understanding is that MS/Asobo were not receptive to make improvements based on his insights, no idea why.
The first link is the very best capture of the problem on buildings I have ever seen, although it looks even worse in real life in VR. The last link does the same for tree shimmer.

If you too find this degradation of visual quality that seemingly started in SU5 unacceptable, please vote and comment on the main shimmer bug thread here: [BUG LOGGED] Shimmering/AA downgrade since SU5 (in-game, not menus/overlays)
