Many thanks, @SignorMagnifico, I can reproduce the issue everytime I replay your track. That's a first for me. I'll edit the track and see if I can find what triggers this (maybe that carrier?).

EDIT: damn, I can't, this .miz is write-protected. Anyway, your track should help devs figuring this out, I hope.

 

Finally, some good news! I also noticed more black squares more often on the Caucasus map. Not sure if that has something to do with it. Thanks for the help.

The mission write protections also cause issues for me with replicating bugs like this one, too. I understand the need for copyright, but, at the same time, the mission editor is the fastest way to isolate a problem.

I have samekind of "black box" issue, but I use normal screen. Screen starts to "blink" with black box, covering whole screen. I can repeat the issue with every plane, anywhere on the caucasus map (havent tried on marianas, but i bet it comes there too) - ALWAYS at going 43 000 ft or over. Sometimes it blinks every now and then (at high altitudes only!) and sometimes blinking is more constant and faster.

Can you guys try flying over 43 000ft, what happens to you? (Mean you guys on this thread, that are having this same kind of flickering issue... )

I have not found any other way to trigger this "blinking / "flickering", but as I said, i ALWAYS get it at high alts (and mystically exactly in 43 000 ft). Don´t have noticed any difference  on subject, with different graphic settings. Blinking just variates randomly if changing settins (or so it seems, or at least so random, that i can´t locate any setting or solution, to make notable differnce) There are A LOT of threads, and they all seem to be kind of same problem, but with different triggers between users. @Eagle Dynamicsthere are millions of threads about this same thing. Has there been any solution, or have you found same problem? I mean if: could you just please tell, is this a viral bug already under your research, so that ppl dont mess around my whole DCS for nothing  High altitudes could indicate something with memories (GPU or CPU or both / sync)...?  Have Nvidia GPU (4gb) and Intel CPU with 16gb ddr3, DCS on SSD.  (seems that brand of GPU does not matter when reading ppls comments about topic), in forums. Thanks you. With best regards - Lasse, Finland.

Hi Wiggo. ED devs have already made a few fixes in the past to try and tackle this issue, yet the bug can still be encountered. It's reported internally and devs are still working on it. I've recently sent devs a user track which -at least on my end- helps reproduce the bug 100% of the time.

Still hoping for the correction of this annoying bug. The best time of the day for flying is ruined by this issue...

a little Note:

 

That is exactly the same what I reported with a video here :

 

and in some post before:
https://forum.dcs.world/topic/194442-screen-flickering-since-254/?do=findComment&comment=4663525
https://forum.dcs.world/topic/194442-screen-flickering-since-254/?do=findComment&comment=4856487
 

AND

where I send a detailed report ( trk, logs, etc ) to BIGNEWY per PN

 

So may be , the Developers have since a while these scenario where the black-flicker can allways reproduced.

Fixed Issues

Enhanced Sync may cause an intermittent black screen to occur during gameplay and video playback using extended displays and toggling Enhanced Sync.

I'll go find out if this helps in any way..

Update : nope.

I tried playing the same mission again in the current version 2.8.0.32235.1, and the flickering is still there. The only difference is that now the carrier is invisible. Any progress report on fixing this bug?

I tried replaying the same mission and same track using DCS 2.8.0.33006. Screen flickering persists.

Is this the right place for black screen flickering reports

Ok. Sry bout that must be annouying. I did not have in any case flashing on the deck / ground (knocking the wood...), but somehow mysteriously everytime over 43k ft from sea lvl altitude  It seems in mission editor etc that dcs is loading something differently now from very beginning. My memory usage has also gone littlebit down (system memory / RAM). Maby it had something to do with graphics trough msaa. Have you tried without any filters? is that always like that in every setting? (just for interest.. )

In the screenshot You can find my usual settings, but I've tried also on minimized ones with the same result.

I have the exact same problem as in Amarok_73's image above. Any time I'm looking toward the setting sun I get black flashes. Happens even if I can't actually see the sun. Just flew a hornet mission where I was landing case 3 heading northwest in a rain storm at dusk. The flashing below 1200 ft. was so bad I had to cross my fingers an let ACLS have the aircraft.

I'm actually looking at the HUD in this image.

Flying F18, I had many times a large black square appearing in my field of view.

It had no fixed position. When moving my head out of the view, it disappears. but when looking into it, everything becomes black. I then had to switch to F2 view, and back to get rid of it. By looking to it, initially, I'd say it had the size of my screen resolution.

Two screenshots and logs attached.

Same problem with the JF-17 at the front of the screen, in my case, it happens when using the TGPon a naval mission, blocking a ship that is defending itself. The same mission with the same technique but using the su-25 T causes the same bug. It happens since 2.8 update.

[Flappie]

Hi. This was reported earlier. Some fixes were made but the issue is still there.

 

[Limaro]

No I believe this is something different. Mine was not flickering. It was an apearing but steady square. It was quite stable, until looking into it to get everything black or looking away to get rid of it.

[Flappie]

Yes, I've experienced it too. It's like an invisible black square that becomes visible when you look at it. We identified two main sources for this issue some ships (Tarawa lights for some, Neustrashimy...) and sunset/sunrise.
