Extreme Flickering 5 to 10 times a second

[Toni Carrera]

Greetings Fellow Pilots,

 

Firstly, just to highlight that I am an I.T. Technical Consultant by trade, so if anyone wants to speak in whatever level of technicality, I would hope to understand you

 

I have Windows 10 installed and DCS running very smoothly for months, maybe even tipping over in to the Year(s). I do not use VR in anyway

 

For reasons out of my control, I was forced to create a new Windows 10 Profile, and migrate as much as I could over to said new profile, including DCS Saved Games folder. Everything post-move appeared to be fine, until my mouse cursor wandered out of DCS on to one of my other screens. Immediately, DCS menu screen started flickering furiously. Tried clicking on Mission Editor, went in to it fine, but the flickering continued. Exited DCS, and restarted DCS, flickering stopped, until my wandered out of DCS screen.

 

I know I can use software such as MouseLock to hold the mouse in DCS, but I have reference documents open on screens 2, 3 & 4, as well as TacView etc. I have never had this problem through years of DCS on this system. I also do not get this in any of the normal games I play. I just want to get back to full working DCS Flight Combat Simulator as quickly as I can

 

I would appreciate any assistance on this issue to get me back to where I was

 

Thank you in anticipation of your valuable assistance

hello. just an idea. are you in window or full screen? i have my system in full screen. i also put pdfs up on my second monitor for reference. sometimes i have to open the pdfs after i have already started DCS. i pause it and then click on other monitor, open the pdf, then click back in the monitor with DCS. then un-pause. i do not believe i have seen any sort of flickering though.

Hi,

 

I always run in 'Full Screen Mode' active. I tried it without opening anything else, same, I have tried with and without SLI, no difference. All SLI stuff done within nVidia tools, as obviously DCS has no in-built SLI Management.

 

I just downloaded OpenBeta 2.7.0, and I still get the flickering, only it is only on the sky (broken clouds #8, I think), and I get the same thing, only this time, it is only the sky and ocean that have the flickering. I am not sure on the next statement, but I 'think' the reflections in the cockpit are showing the flickering. The textures for cockpit and supercarrier are 100%  OK

 

I find the reflections bit confusing
