Raven434th Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 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..

-LEO- Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) If not reported yet The mirrors are also causing flickering contrails and sometimes flickering rocket-smoketrails.

cochise Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) I get the same issue with the mirrors off and on in all maps during periods of dusk or dawn with heavier weather present.

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.

Do I something wrong ? I also recorded video... ( uncut.. flickers starting near 1:50 ) note: that flickers positions differ in-game vs in-replay.

blanchjo Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 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.

blanchjo Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I can confirm that it is an issue with the mirrors. Turning them off fixes it, but that's not a great solution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealius Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) 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.

silverdevil Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 @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. 1 AKA_SilverDevil AKA Forums My YouTube “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” — Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Special Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) 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. null Guam target practice no mods.miz Edited May 21, 2022 by Nobody Special Clarification 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
