How do I search for easter eggs when there's phantom sparkles ALL OVER the place?

[Dunbaratu]

As far as I know there's two ways to find easter eggs: One is by the mapsat mod, which isn't usable at the moment unless I downgrade my version of KSP, and the other is by just looking for twinkling white pixels as you fly low. I remember what the twinkle looks like because I did find one of the Mun arches that way back in version 0.19. But other than that one, and the one that can be found by just looking up historical information in Wikipedia (no spoilers here which one I mean but if you've found it you know what I mean), I've never seen any others.

The problem is that my graphics make white pixel twinkles quite a lot. Whenever looking at a polygon edge-on, the thin edge of it can make a phantom white pixel twinkle. It doesn't happen everywhere, but they happen frequently enough that at any given moment there's at least two or three of them on the screen. They appear to twinkle in the same spot for about 10-20 seconds until your view moves far enough that you're no longer looking at that particular hillside or crater-side polygon in such an edge-on way anymore, by which point there will be another twinkling pixel somewhere else, most likely. This is making it nearly impossible to visually look for easter eggs because I'm being flooded with false positives.

Does anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

The extra "twinkling" is caused by the terrain scatter. Go into the settings and change it to 0% and the only thing you should see on the surface is easter eggs. Be warned that some easter eggs are buried underground or floating in midair.

Umm, actually it looks like that twinkle from the eater eggs isn't in .21. I found that the Mun arch will now only load when you're only a few Km from it.

When flying low on a high res display, you can actually see the arches on Mun or other of the larger Easter eggs from orbit. The twinkle can be caused by shadows and other unevenly lighted surface features.

You won't see any of the monoliths twinkle, they are too small to be seen from orbit.

Kerbal Maps is nice.

You might want to look into the Ordan telescope mod. It allows you to see easter eggs from orbit quite well; you can investigate any phantom sparkles before you actually decide to land there. Also note that Mapsat is compatible with 0.21.1.

Having found Easter eggs by looking for the twinkle in previous versions, I can confirm they don't twinkle like that in 0.21. I revisited the Mun ones to replant my flags and struggled to find them again.

Okay well I'll stop looking for the twinkles then.

(p.s. I can't find where in the user interface is the thing to change a thread to "solved". It's not under any of the thread tools or the reply box. Where did it go?)
