KoleTang Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) The flickering in the video below shows up very frequently while flying. Many times in the same mission. It makes this map annoying and unplayable. I shortened the video to one such encounter to fit it here. But it will go and come many, many times while flying a mission. I have all the other maps and I have never encountered this problem before.

Backy 51 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Also experienced flickering on a dusk to night mission in multiplayer. One player in VR and other on 4K. 1 I don't need no stinkin' GPS! (except for PGMs :D) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RightYouAreKen Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) I’m also seeing the same thing. Happens either on the right of left side of the screen with no rhyme or reason I can find. Not as frequent as this video clip shows but enough to be annoying. Usually every 3-20 seconds or so for me. 5800X3D, 3080Ti, 32gm RAM, 4K resolution w/Gsync. Never seen it on any other map. Happened even on an empty mission with just the Hornet. Edited June 11, 2023 by RightYouAreKen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attackdebris Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I had the same experience on my very first Sinai flight and a few times since, not too often but enough to be a distraction. I saw the same issue on some of the beta tester preview videos, so I can only assume it's a known issue. Be nice to get confirmation though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CageyLobster Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) Same. but, for me it is the whole screen. Edit: I also disabled my mirrors after reading through the thread more. It also seams to have fixed my issue. I am also only playing at 1080p. I'm not sure if screen resolution is playing a part in why my screen fully flickers, while others have 1/2 screen flickers? (Just spit-balling, as I am in no way knowledgeable.) Edited June 12, 2023 by CageyLobster adding more information 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremspropeller Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) Same issue here. M2000C though. Switching off the mirrors stopped it. No VR. Edited June 11, 2023 by Bremspropeller 2 1 So ein Feuerball, JUNGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirmed for me as well! Turning off the mirrors in the Hornet stops the flashes! Thank you!!! Turning them back on brings the flashing back. Hopefully they can resolve this soon as I prefer using the mirrors. I'd previously also tried the following to no avail: Gsync on and off Shadows on High, Flat, and off Multithreaded and Singlethreaded Mission time 7am and noon Edited June 11, 2023 by RightYouAreKen 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backy 51 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) Just flew a noon sortie out of Cairo West with severe black flickering on left and right side of 4K resolution screen. Seems worse over dense urban areas. I deleted FXO and Metashaders2 folders and have seen no visible improvement. Running on a 3080 12GB.

Worked for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIghtymoo Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Experienced the same issue in the Mi-24P on Sinai map. Turning off mirrors work. No issue with the F-16 (no mirrors….) 1 Intel i9 13900K | RTX4090 | 64 Gb DDR4 3600 CL18 | 2Tb PCIe4.0 | Varjo Aero | Pico 4 on WIFI6e | Virtual Desktop running VDXR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoleTang Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 I have also now seen this on other maps as well now. It is way worse on the Sinai map than the others. I am thinking it is a release-specific issue now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgo47 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) +1 This happened to me in L-39 Albatros as well (with mirrors) on Friday but I couldn't find any thread for it and wasn't sure if it's not just some GPU driver thing (or something in the shady area between GPU and the game). But I've seen it in Growling Sidewinder's video today, so it seems like something with the new patch. And I found this thread. Good to know it's not just me because such bugs bug me the most. Definitely not Sinai-specific though, I don't have that map. I experienced it with the Persian Gulf map.

OnReTech Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) I think this is a DСS bug, I'll contact the beta testers immediately. Thanks, added to the bug list. Priority - highest Edited June 12, 2023 by OnReTech 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irisono Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Experienced flickering with the M-2000 and F-86 and only with the Sinai map. It goes away when you turn off the mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
