Home Fries Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Original post updated with driver information (376.33). I flew the French combat helo and got the same artifact, though apparently the window transparency issue goes away when the doors are closed. I also included my graphical settings page. Of note, even though it says 3968x1080 for the resolution, this is for 2 1024x1280 (profile) monitors I use for instrument exports. With mods disabled, these screens are black, so I cropped the images. The monitors are connected to the 1060. Another note: when flying, one can see artifacts through the instruments (screenshot enclosed). Between this and the window, it looks like an alpha channel issue. Not sure why it only happens with the L, though, since AFAIK the Mistral uses the same affected cockpit textures.

docWilly Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Homefries, in your first post you mentioned "own skins"....just a wild guess: maybe there got something corrupted with these implemented. I do not have any additional skins and use extensivly JSGME-ready mods for various purposes and as well with the Gazele and do not experience any gitches with the gauges. If not already done, I suggest to disable your "own skins"completely (to see if there´s an issue..) and at least run a repair on DCS 1.5, if not maybe it´s worth un-installing the GAZ and re-install it from scratch...absolutely no mods activated while running repair ! I highly suggest to use mods only that are JSGME-ready and simple to remove with the application. Sometimes there goes something wrong with an update or a mod in the complex folder structures if you copy "mods" or "skins" manually into the sim. That´s not too much work to try but worth it. I do not believe your problem to be an issue of your graphic/system settings.

Home Fries Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Update on the troubleshooting; the bug went away after I renamed the saved games\dcs folder and rebuilt from scratch. looks like a config file got corrupted. I'll see if I can reproduce it. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Fries Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) I was able to duplicate the bug. The problem is the selectable "Default - Clean Glass" cockpit option for the SA342L. Somehow my options.lua must have defaulted to this (I didn't realize it was even an option). Setting it back to "Default" fixed the issue. The problem looks like the alpha channels in the Default - Clean Glass textures.
