TheGarner Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Hi, Sorry if this is wrong area of the forum - Please move if it is. Does anyone else have this problem on the latest openbeta version where the sea starts to flicker but it only does this in the cockpit view? A short clip below to show what I mean. Any solutions?

FistofZen Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I had this once, not sure why. I remember that it wasn't just everyone but only at a particular part of the sea. I have no idea where that part is. Am I special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGarner Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 I had this once, not sure why. I remember that it wasn't just everyone but only at a particular part of the sea. I have no idea where that part is. The video above was filmed on the Persian Gulf map but I have also add it on the Caucasus map as well. It is a bit of an odd one as it doesn't happen all the time. But when it does happen, it can get quite distracting :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knock-Knock Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Not seen it here, nVidia, monitor and VR. Could this be fps related. The videos look like low'ish fps, like 30 fps or less? So if the shadow is only rendered every other frame to save performance, it could come across as flickering?

AussieM8 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) As per Highman-ED “With the water settings to high, the white caps look amazing, however they flicker considerably in the distance (above 2km).” “I have AA @ 16 and MSAA @ 2, but they're still very noticeable. is it possible to implement a lod setting such as there is for shadows for these at a certain range to prevent the flickering?” What our squad has noticed is that with high wind the water flicker is very noticeable in the Persian Gulf map using the Oculus Rift, with low wind less white caps means a lot less flicker on the water in the distance. This is mainly a problem sitting on the Stenis looking across to the distance, once in the air the flicker gets less and less as you gain altitude. Caucasus map doesn’t seem to suffer with the flickering white water caps. __________________ Edited June 14, 2018 by AussieM8 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero.ger Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 same problem, needed to rise the water setting but its still there, but not as bad 'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction.

Harker Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I think I'm the same. Static weather without fog is fine, add some fog and it does this.
