Pronounced stepping effect in solid mode

[DaveGrafix]

Hello All,

First project using Phoenix and am trying to wrap my head around the liquids feature. I'm filling an invisible tank, viewing from the side. In the attached image you can see the stepping in the surface, it seems to get more pronounced as I decrease cell size. This sim is at 4.1 million cells so far, I need to render this at 3840x1080 eventually so the detail needs to be pretty high. Not sure I can get the cell size much smaller than this, sim times are already pretty long...

Liquid from temp channel
Smooth conservation, q20
Classic advection, spf 10/10
Wetting enabled, dry time 2, everything else default.

Thanks in advance for your help!

well, this is a known issue and the only suggestion that i can give is to set the parameter "approach step" to 1 and to check the "static surface correction", but if it is 1 already, there is no other possibility. in the new version the situation is much better, but the release is not too soon.
