rwbishUP Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Something going on with lighting of environment, does it really bad when on ground or low level flight. During daylight it's like the sunlight turns off and everything covered in heavy fog. During night flight it goes completely black, can't even see instrument panel, then slowly fades back in after about 30 seconds. fogging.mp4 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.

Flappie Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) I cannot reproduce it. Did it happen once for each of you, or does it keep happening? If it keeps happening, please attach your options.lua file and your dxdiag log (how to make one). Edited October 19, 2023 by Flappie Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord.

Flappie Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) I'm trying it now. Your options.lua shows a strange ratio by the way. We both have a 3440x1440 screen. My ratio is "2.3888888888889", yours is "1.3333333333333". EDIT: it seems this value is not used anymore, anyway.

Shimvolski Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I am getting an issue where I get random flashes of light across my whole monitor. It happens very randomly between 5-15 mins apart. Using dlss on and off. When off using dlaa. This is in f18 at night in Syria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainstay Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) @Flappie Sky textures are still a problem for me even after switching to MSAA from DLAA. Turned SSS off still the same problem but the weird thing is i know what is causing the black flickering screens now... so i narrowed down at least one problem. HQ and 4K is still uploading but here you can already see the switching between AA to AG and back to AA. When switching to AG mode and having TGP and MAV weapon screen active the black flickering begins. When switching back to AA mode the black flickering stops. Something tells me its a MAV weapon screen problem because just like the earlier video i posted TGP was already on and caused no flickering but the flickering starts when the MAV's (D's havent tried other variants) are warmed up and the sensor camera turns on.

sniperwolfpk5 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I have yet to download version 2.9 but encountered issues with the previous build. While flying the Apache, I attempted to switch to the F2 view and cycle through different aircraft. I noticed some black visual artifacts when I switched to the cockpit view. Initially, I thought this might be caused by clouds obstructing the sun. Win10, Intel 3rd Gen.

Mainstay Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) @Flappie Alright i found out whats causing the sky colors and the black flickering screens to happen. I ran the same mission and settings over and over again now. Scenario 1 F-16 cold and dark Loadout 6xAGM-65D 2xGBU12 2xAIM9 2xAIM120 1xTGP Startup aircraft - no problem Turning on TGP and show on MFD - no problem Turning on AGM-65D and show on MFD - Sky color goes weird and black flickering starts Scenario 2 F-16 cold and dark Loadout 6xAGM-65H 2xGBU12 2xAIM9 2xAIM120 1xTGP Startup aircraft - no problem Turning on TGP and show on MFD - no problem Turning on AGM-65H and show on MFD - no problem Scenario 3 F-16 cold and dark Loadout 3xAGM-65H 3xAGM-65D 2xGBU12 2xAIM9 2xAIM120 1xTGP Startup aircraft - no problem Turning on TGP and show on MFD - no problem Turning on AGM-65H and show on MFD - no problem Turning on AGM-65D and show on MFD - Sky color goes weird and black flickering starts So there lies your problem right now, something is very wrong with the displaying of the AGM-65D sensor camera. It not only causes the sky colors to go corrupted but in my case also cause black flickering all over the screen. Sensor camera and new lightning / shadow technique maybe buggy? something to investigate and hotfix i hope. At least i can play for now with MAV H models without going insane.

Vakarian Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 @Mainstay Is the track/mission file for your last set of testing one you posted earlier? I want to use it for test of some other instance where my group experienced flickering. We were however in Apaches during the night, and had white flickering, so I'd like to use your file as a test.

rwbishUP Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 Didn't abandon my post, had to do the work/sleep thing. Anyway, I was testing all types of different graphics settings and maps to try and pinpoint it. I never dreamed it would be a weapons related issue. I'm having the problem at night time also, I use TrackIR and when I look back toward the wing or straight up through the canopy, everything instantly goes black, and I'm carrying GBUs. I'm trying to generate log file and tracks with the issue right now, I'll attach them to this post when I get them. And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard. Micah 5:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
