only seems to be reletively small group having this issue i wonder what is the common variable.

All I know is that I can easily reproduce the black flashing by flying my F-16 with a TGP.  Set it to white hot mode.  Then just start looking around with my Track IR.  It's very consistent in that it will start flashing and the coloring of the ground textures also seems to shift which others have reported as well.

We say only a small group having the problem but I'm pretty sure the broader DCS community doesn't sign in to this forum to complain about it.  Or perhaps some pilots just don't do much with Air to Ground.  Who knows.  I'd love to know the root cause of the problem but when 2.9 came out I left my graphic settings exactly as they were in 2.8 and did not use the new DLSS funtionality or any other new setting for that matter.

At least they have reproduced it themselves at this point.

Thank God this is a bug, I thought my 4090 was dying...

Where this problem becomes evident is in the Instant Action mission, F16, Caucasus, free flight. When I activate the TGP and fly over the enemy troops it gives me several flashes.

[Bobstar]

Same here but, in all maps and seems to be connected to me switching on the TGP in the F16. Also when I LAlt + Tab to move between open screens.....I hope that makes sense?

Not mentioned in todays patch notes..  

[Flappie]

The fix is not merged yet, indeed.

[rwbishUP]

No flicker fix yet, my turkey will be slightly bitter

Have the same issue with RTX 3060Ti. Happens in all theaters I have. Georgia, Syria, PG, South Atlantic, Normadie (1.X). Safe to assume its DCS wide. Just installed latest 547.19 Nvidia Game Ready drivers.

Have been flying the F-16, the flashes start whenever i turn the TGP on, as soon as i turn it off ....... the flashing stops. 

Same problem, but more often it's happened in WPN screen for AGM-65.
I  has tried turn off G-Sync - nothing, still flickering, then set limit fps with NVIDIA Drivers no more than refresh rate for my 4K display (60Hz), the issues still present.

[Moxica]

It now appears in stable version as well. As it did not "make it" to the former update, not the quick fix, and did not even make it to todays update, I fear we will have to deal with this epilepsytrigger for a loong time.
Being so intrusive, it is a grave and unacceptable malfunction.

Got the same issue without DLSS. (could use DLSS but don´t for DLSS causes blurred instruments on my end)

So no relation to DLSS.

Had this in 2.8 on just the F15E module - since 2.9 i see this on all modules and all maps.

I have installed DCS World open Beta also on Rog ally. (I know not the Ideal Platform.) But The Failure occurse also, when i use the Apache with FLIR Tads. as soon as i engage TV mode it stops flickering. I hope they have soon a fix, i miss the night missions.  But as always ED does a great job i love this Simulator.

This made it to stable? Wow.

As long as the game don't crash, it's stable

I've just had another play around with the Apache Live Fire Range. Did not load any Hellfires, just took off and flew around for like 4mins, no issues. As soon as I bought up the TADS screen using VID > TADS > ZOOM in Pilot cockpit and asked George to look over the range, within seconds, BOOM white flashes.

But then I don't understand how I can get white flashes in MP in Combined Arms, unless it's because other users in the server are using TADS, TGPs etc??

I have the exact same thing happening as well. As soon as I turn off the TADS screen the white flashes go away. I also own the F16 and F18 modules, which I haven't tested but I suspect it's happening with them as well. The Tomcat on the other hand is perfectly fine as far as I know, but I haven't tried using the LANTIRN so it may be also problematic. 

I have an AMD 6750XT on stable and I'm not using FSR or NIS.

As far as I'm concerned, it's unacceptable that the devs knew about this bug and they stll pushed the problematic open beta to the stable branch. It's going to be months before the fix reaches stable users.

Last two nights, we had training and an mission flying in our group. What I noticed is all of us in Apaches are getting weird white flashes every now and then, looks like only at night. Both training and mission had a transition afternoon -> dusk -> night and the flashes started to happen after dusk.

I was trying to reproduce it by just sitting in an Apache at the airfield (for about an hour) and hoping the flashing will start, but nothing... Maybe this will give few pointers? I mean, we were a 3-ship, one was fully crewed, other two were pilot only and all four humans saw the white flashes.

I will try to run few more tests tomorrow, but I don't know what could be the common thing to try to trigger it. One guy flies in VR, other three were in pancake mode, all different resolutions and settings, so pinpointing will be difficult

I had this issue last night flying at night on Syria. In the Harrier random white strobe flash almost like a flashback or firework in the night sky.

Yes, exactly. Squadron mate honestly wondered if we hat a thunderstorm on the map.

[3ra_Luke]

I have this flashing problem too. I always notice it i.e on F/A-18 Caucasus ground support quick mission. At first, I thought the mission had some kind of script to change weather or time of the day every few minutes. I'm happy to know it's not only me.   Thanks.

[MIghtymoo]

Same issue for me in VR with F-15E and F-16. Almost like a flashbang is going off outside the side of the cockpit window

Just wondering if ED has gotten any closer to a fix for this issue? It’s happening All the time especially at night. So just curious if it’s going to be squished soon? Thank you

There will be tweaks in the next patch, results look good internally, but it will require wider testing in public builds for feedback. 

thanks

@BIGNEWY We know this lighting, black and white flashes started when DLSS and SSS got introduced with 2.9. Are these graphical advances the cause?
