Ithronwise Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Hi all, I am pretty sure there is an older thread describing this issue, but unfortunately I couldn't find it. I notice small squared black blinking spots in the cockpit of different modules (official modules and community modules), e.g. F-14, F-5E, UH-60L. In other modules like F/A-18C, F-16C, AV-8B, A-4E-C I couldn't see this issue yet. Here is a short video (F-5E) to demonstrate it (Shoulder Harness lever on the left side of the ejection seat and Emergency Canopy Jettison Lever on the lower right side of the front panel): Best regards, Rene ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming, AMD Ryzen 3800X, 64 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3000, ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 6800 XT, Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe 250 GB (OS), Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe 1 TB (DCS World), Gigabyte G27QC Gaming Monitor, DelanClip Gamer, WINWING F-16EX Metal Flightstick with Orion2 Joystick Base, WINWING F-15EX II Metal Throttle with Orion2 Throttle Base, WINWING PTO 2 Take Off Panel, VIRPIL Controls Ace Flight Pedals, Buddy-Fox A-10C UFC, Thrustmaster MFD Cougar Pack, Windows 10 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 SSAO enabled in options? If so disable and see if they go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much for this hint. You are right, with SSAO = OFF the blinking black spots are gone. @ED, is there a plan to fix this issue?

Flappie Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 This issue has been reported internally. I added your video to the report. I'm unable to reproduce this bug. There must be some hardware/softwae/settings combination that causes this, and we need to find it. Can you please attach your dxdiag log (howto), your options.lua file (Saved Games/DCS/Config) and screenshots of your NVIDIA or AMD graphic settings?

Ithronwise Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) I have a new graphics card now (again an AMD card), but even with this I have the same issue, when I set SSAO to ON. I tested it with the newest optional AMD driver (22.2.2) and with the latest recommended driver (21.10.2 WHQL). Before I installed the new card I deleted the old driver by using the Display Driver Uninstaller and did the same when I tested the named two different drivers. So it seems, this issue is caused by an incompatibility of AMD cards and/or drivers with the DCS rendering engine.

Flappie Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 @Ithronwise It's supposed to be fixed, now. Can you please confirm? 2 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithronwise Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 Hi Flappie, I tested it and can confirm, the issue is gone. No more black flickering spots in the cockpit with SSAO = On. (But I leave it OFF now, because I didn't miss anything without it in the last months and with it ON I have some light performance hits). Thanks to you and the ED team. 1 2 ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming, AMD Ryzen 3800X, 64 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3000, ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 6800 XT, Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe 250 GB (OS), Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe 1 TB (DCS World), Gigabyte G27QC Gaming Monitor, DelanClip Gamer, WINWING F-16EX Metal Flightstick with Orion2 Joystick Base, WINWING F-15EX II Metal Throttle with Orion2 Throttle Base, WINWING PTO 2 Take Off Panel, VIRPIL Controls Ace Flight Pedals, Buddy-Fox A-10C UFC, Thrustmaster MFD Cougar Pack, Windows 10 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
