I think that OLDPOP is talking about how to start screen recording via his graphic card software, i.e. Amd uses CTRL+SHIFT+E to toggle recording on and off. So I don’t think this is related to DCS.

Playing the same track file provide different results/outcome in the missions. Now let’s start from the beginning: I was playing a small SP mission training SA8 evasion on the Syrian map. (attached: TestMovingTG.miz) And after 00:06:38 of playing I experienced the following graphical bug (see Pic) Link to short video of BUG: https://streamable.com/z1ujih So, I ended the game, exit DCS and made a copy of track and log + a copy of the Tacview file for bug reporting: (Attached: BlackGreen.trk + As_Played_dcs.log + As_played_Tacview.acmi). Now before reporting this “graphical bug”, I decided to see if I could reproduce, so this morning, I did the following: Emptying fxo- Tracks- and the logs- folders. Copied my original backup of BlackGreen.trk to the Tracks folder, Disconnected my joystick and throttle. Opened DCS 2_7 stable then replayed BlackGreen.trk. This time the replay mission only lasted for 00:06:29 min and this time I got hit by the SAM´s. Last night I survived the SAM´s (remember this is a replay of a mission so the outcome should be the same). Attached file from first replay are 01_replay_org_dcs.log + 01_replay_org_Tacview.acmi Last night I evaded the SAM´s and now in the first replay I got hit weird !! Just to test if I was missing something, I decided to go for one more try with the replay. So, I exit DCS deleted the BlackGreen.trk in the DCS folder and the log´s. Copied my original backup of BlackGreen.trk to DCS mission folder, run DCS run Replay to see what happened this time: The result is that I Crash/fly in to ground after 00:05:39 min Attached files from the second replay: 2_replay_dcs.log + 2_replay_Tacview.acmi + 2_replay_BlackGreenGroundImpact.trk. So, until now I have not been able to reproduce the “graphical bug”, because DCS replay function changes the outcome and the length of a mission every time I replay this track.

Hi Flappie OK not to confuse the matter more than needed. Black squares on the bridge is the issue. I´m just using another word “black spots” maybe I need to be more precise And since there was a lot of AMD users in the other post, I hoped that they would test my BlackSpots.trk file in order to check if the Black squares on the bridge was linked with AMD and SSAO, and then repport back to this post so we don’t mix issues. It was not an attempt to test for “New Cloud corruption” since I have not seen this issue in a long time. Hopefully this makes sense. BlackSpots.trk

Hi I requested the same in this post https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/267876-new-clouds-corruption/?do=findComment&comment=4687545 And I got one reply 16 hours ago from “AnY” in this post that "confirmed" same issue SSAO = black spots.

OK my mistake I misunderstood you, I believed that we were addressing rendering, so SSAO was turned off in the above pic. But I also ran the same test with SSAO on. See pic below: Same track/log as above.

Hi Flappie Followed your instructions and made 3 clean drivers install. First Clean install = Driver only Second clean install = Driver + minimum Radeon Adrenalin functionality Third Clean install = Full install DCS fxo folder and AMD shader folder deleted before each run. And still Black spots with SSAO activated All 3 installations gave same outcomes = Late rendering of the one building in the foreground while the buildings in the background stays relative “sharp” see attached pic. dcs.log Buildingrendering.trk

Hi all Now I can see that most of you guys are using AMD graphic cards. Would you please try to run this track file with SSAO on and off and see whether you can reproduce the issue regarding black spots? Link to video: https://streamable.com/kcg6fw Please report your findings in this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/272182-syrian-map-2d-graphic-bug-in-dcs-2716430-open-beta/?tab=comments#comment-4687540 So, we don’t mix issues. Br NBee BlackSpots.trk

HI just some more observations regarding Blacks spots. I have now observed that one of the bridges in Adnea Turkey are generating Blacks spots when SSAO is activated. Another little bug is the big building just “north” of the bridge are rendering details late. The building is blurry (this issue is not dependent on SSAO settings) A short video of my observations: https://streamable.com/kcg6fw Also see the attached pic: I have attached mission, log and track files. dcs.log BlackSpots.trk BlackSpots.miz

It seems to me that the AI Harrier have a large power advantage when accelerating. I have observed that it is nearly impossible to match AI harrier speed during takeoff and during speed changes enroute. During liftoff AI seems to acetate from 180kt to 400kt much faster than possible as player. See attached DCS trk. + attached AV8_S-DCS-NervadaTest.zip.acmi tacview file time 00:00:34 to 00:01:10 This also seems to be the case enroute: In the attached DCS trk at waypoint 1 there is a speed change from TAS 334 to 385kt see: attached AV8_S-DCS-NervadaTest.zip.acmi tacview file time 00:03:02 to 00:03:12.

Hopefully, you can reproduce. This is my graphic settings in game.

Hey Flappie Yes, sorry to rapport still same glitch in DCS ver: 2.7.1.7139: Disabling SSAO in game = no Blinking black spots. And I have only observed this issue on the Syrian map until now.

Since the new update to DCS 2.7.1.6709 have experienced lots of crashes when quitting a mission via the menu in game. See attached log System: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, 2x16 Gb Ram dcs.log

As you suggested. Issue 1 seems to be related to the in-game settings. Disabling SSAO in game solves issue 1 = no Blinking black spots. So now the big question. Is this a DCS 2.7 software issue or is it an AMD Radeon software/driver issue? Also, I have only observed issue 1 on the Syrian map. I will test further on Nevada and Caucasus and return with my findings.

I have now tried changing in game settings, but I still gets the same result, black Blinking spot on tower and on some of the buildings around the airport. Maybe its related to my GPU “Radeon RX 6800 XT” and/or AMD Radeon software/driver. I know from experience that Radion software still have problems with: Brightness flickering may intermittently occur in some games or applications when Radeon™ FreeSync is enabled, and the game is set to use borderless fullscreen. I will report back if I find a solution. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP TIME AND EFFORT

@Flappie Well, I have now done a DCS repair and generated a new “DCS Saved games folder” and I still gets the same result See: https://streamable.com/ibvpni (at 0:33 sec same problem on new location on the map). So, any suggestions? Windows and all driver are updated, even tried to make a clean install of my Graphics AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, still same result. ☹ @Gierasimov no insult was intended. I am just not that good to spot the difference between a SU-30 and a MIG 29 at distance. To mee they look the same and my reaction is the same MIG! (Must Intervene, GUNS)

OK here are 2x .Trk files of issue 1. + copy of DCS.log (different locations on Syrian Map) DCS_Grafic_Bug.trkThis time I used the A10C2 standard mission (IA-A10CII-Syria-Free Flight) from DCS 2.7 and changed the time and weather to the following: Date/Time 21 Feb 2021/17:44 Skyes Scattered 4 Ground Wind 18/219 at 6600 feet W 35/239 and at FL26 W 35/295 Hopefully, this helps. dcs.log And this is .trk file no 2 of issue 1. DCS_Grafic_Bug2.trk

Thanks for the fast feedback. Only mods installed are Tackview and some Skin for the A10C2 and the Harrier. I get the same 3 issues every time I fly the mission. Regarding issue 2 if I fly at altitude (1500’) the MIGs don’t change colors, but at 300-500´ they make the color shift. So, if it helps, I have attached the mission in this reply. (maybe its related to my time or weather settings) I have the DCS-track file from the original “flight” video but its 11 mb so I cannot upload via this forum. If you need further information’s, please let me know. Av6_Syria-Free Flight.miz

Just some observations when flying on the Syrian map. See uploaded video. 1: Blinking black spots on tower (left of canopy mirror) https://streamable.com/fivttt 2: MIG at apron change color. https://streamable.com/manua6 4: Moskva CG disappears out of visual range before the helicopter at “same” distance. https://streamable.com/y55g0o
