Two missions flown...NO blackscreen

Are You testing it on the mission, where start time is set to early morning, when the sun is low over the horizon?

can you provide a track file so i can reproduce? i've tried the mig-29 strike intercept and there was no flashing with mirrors on.

Edit: which map?

you misunderstood...yesterday after patching ,I flew the mission and got the blackscreen when switching on my mirrors in cockpit...I then restarted the mission and it fixed itself. today I re-flew the missions to confirm the fix worked and it did. I don't know why it didn't fix it the first time launching the game after patching ..that's a mystery but maybe it needed to overite something when mirrors got turned on in the pit.. I really don't know why it happed the way it did..

If not reported yet
The mirrors are also causing flickering contrails and sometimes flickering rocket-smoketrails. Mirrors toggled off: no such issue.

I get the same issue with the mirrors off and on in all maps during periods of dusk or dawn with heavier weather present. Hard when doing a Case III, in the meantime I've resorted to closing one of my eyes!

 I will pass the feedback to the team

Hi,

DCS: 2.7.10.18996 Open Beta - 27.01.2022  Screen flickers black in some cases - fixed

quick feedback..

Again a good try , but nope 🤣

Still some flickers in e.g. mentioned UH-1H Argo campaign Mission 2 in first part...

I fly in parallel the new Paradise Lost campaign and till now no single flicker, but allways reproducable in Argo mission.. so I guess it must be somewhat with the sonn-light / time of day.

Hi,..

same as in our former private chat 🙂

( nvidia 2080TI, i7.8700k, 3840x1600, ... )

image.png

This time I stopped after 3 minutes in-game, but the replay file is still 13MB and I can not attach it within the forum. Do I something wrong ?

 

I also recorded video... ( uncut.. flickers starting near 1:50 )

note: that flickers positions differ in-game vs in-replay.

Never had this issue before, but as for Jan 27 update, I get black flickering over the majority of the screen. Seems to be view dependent and in certain locations. I will be attempting to capture video of it later.

When it happens, try to turn off mirrors, if you have them enabled.

Many thanks for your test and video. I reported to devs.

No problem, I hope it helps! This is another video demonstrating how the mirrors affect the flickering:

I recorded it to demonstrate an issue with the flight model, but it has been posted in the FA-18c bugs thread.

Possible solution (at least for now):

Repair of DCS, then updated my Nvidia drivers to 511.23. So far so good, but I've only done three flights.

 

I didn't have a single problem after 7 days of flying off the Tarawa until now. Any time the lights are on (bad weather, night), the flicker occurs. Sometimes in the left lense, sometimes in the right lense. At distance in bad weather settings (OVC and RA 2) with only the Tarawa's smoke visible through the clouds and fog, you can sometimes see black squares flickering around the Tarawa's general area, but they are only a few pixels in size. At the moment the Tarawa is unplayable at night or bad weather, as my right lens will go totally black while hovering over the deck. 

Wind to 0kts did not resolve the issue.

Restarting my Quest 2 did not resolve the issue.

Restarting Oculus app did not resolve the issue.

Clearing fxo folder did not resolve the issue.

Turning mirrors off did not resolve the issue.

Did not work for me, ran repair this morning, current drivers 511.23, Mirrors on = flicker. But I did try messing around in the A-10C2 and MI-24P, Same weather and time of day flying the same path and I got no flickering. So far I've only experienced it in the F/A-18C, not to say it couldn't occur in the others.

Curious, anyone ddu'ed video drivers before installing 511?

 

Hope it's ok to post this link, it's nv forum on 511.  It may help some find a fix for their system with dcs.

@Ddaddy - good idea. i noticed that there are some changes to the 511 driver from the earlier. there are some different and some replaced. though i did not have the flickering, i went through all the settings again and redid them and it seems a bit better performing.

I see this flickering when certain lights are in the visual field, running current open beta. This issue is not new. I have seen it:

  • At start of the attached mission, in the AH-64 slot
  • In the same mission, due to sunrise a short time after the start
  • while flying the F-14 at night approaching Batumi (so bad I had to exit the game as I could not see where I was going)
  • with lights on the island of carriers

I have played with various graphics settings in both DCS and the driver software but I have not found a setting that solves this.

Graphics card is a Radeon RX 5700 XT, driver version 22.5.1, performance tuning settings are at default.
