fixed [BUG] Screen flickering on Sinai map

[Nereid]

If mirrors are on I'm experiencing some flickering on the whole screen every then and now. But only if the mirrors are toggled on and only on the Sinai  map.

Version 2.8.6.41363, ST

(I have noticed it in MT too)

It is similar to the issue descibed in 

 but it happens just while looking forward without moving the view and the the whole screen blacks out for just 1/10 of a second or less. (well in some cases it looks like there a black box just on most of the screen and expands shortly after; and it is clearly not a displayport blackout because of this and the short time)

I have also tried the solutions described in 

but they do not fix the problem. This problem (aside from not being mirror related) seems to fit my problem better.

Other modules (I have tested the F/A-18) are not affected on the Sinai map and there is no issue for F-14 on the Syria map.

It may be a map issue that only shows in the F-14. But because only the F-14 is affected, I'm reporting it here. The Sinai map is quite new, so maybe no F-14 owner has experienced it so far.

Hey! Thank you for your report. I tracked it internally as DCSF14-483 for the dev team to look into.

I cant believe this bug is still today not fixed. I flew today with F-14 on syria Map, all the time while flying I have flickering (black screen) without VR. In F-18 on the MFD where the map is showing, half of it shows black.

 

I regret I buyed this map. I always say to my self: dont ever buy early access at the firt day, never ever.... But i did it again and now i cant even fly this map.

Madness. 

Ps: i did deleted fxo and metashaders2... i am not against buggs, they happen, i know. But after so many months, not yet fixed? O.k...

Nothing HB can do about. It's already reported to ED. Try turning off mirrors in the mean time.

I did not try this possible solution to deactivate the mirrors. I will avoid this map until they fix that. Looks pretty good, but you know the thing.

By the way, to deactivate mirrors would be better, somehow ED downgraded the mirrors, looks crap, you cant see enything on those mirrors. I know they were bettter. It eats a lot of FPS and looks ugly. Can someon confirm that?

Don't mean to be offensive, but please don't spread disinformation, because they didn't change the mirrors. Are you sure the settings were not changed from 1024, to 512 or maybe even 256. Lots of people lost all their settings when we had the login issues when Sinaï and/or the Eagle were released. 

Cheers!

Just press M or turned them off in DCS options.

My friend, what desinformation? I think you wanted to say why i am spreading conspiracy against ED, right?

My settings are maxed out and 4K, dont be arrogant. Maybe you have 14" monitor and you dont even see the mirrors. As i said, only my helmet looks nice, everything else looks very low, so no way to use it in dogfight. Whats wrong with you man?

No, conspiracy. You're just angry, maybe rightfully so, but don't write things that are not true.

I have a 30" thank you.
Nothing wrong with me. I tried to be nice, you're not.
The max resolution you can have in the mirrors would be 1024, maybe you don't know that. Check your settings.

Check the "resolution of cockpit displays setting" option and take the mirror problem to the new thread. Screenshot will help. "Looks crap" only gets you ignored.

What makes me angry and hungry (english is weird language lol) are those guys like you. Why you even answer, if you are trying to be just silly? Just ignore me. I kindly asked, if someone can confirm the issue with mirrors. But you have to come, i will block you, i have to see, if this is possible, dont want to see kids. Thank you

Ok then teach me how to say it another way. It litteraly looks crap, i am not insulting ED, this game is my second life, so it just look weird. Asking is for free, if nobody answers, its better then somebody try ti be smart.
