Screen Flickering

[Ghostdog67]

Hi all,

since a long time I've got this issue in DCS: the screen flickers "darker and lighter" as if a veil was thrown (and taken away) on the sun (what a poet...); it is very annoying. Currently using rtx 3080 and the problem seems immune to drivers updates. It is very evident when paused or in a bright condition.

Any help would be appreciated, trhanks in advance!

There is no help. It's been doing that in VR for a long time when you go to the F10 map and then back to the cockpit. Quite annoying...yes.

Thanks, but I am not in VR now and never had been

Any Help? Issue is disruptive for immersion...

I add the this problem is only visible in cockpit view and outside views are ok, witrhout flickering. It sees that gamma changes and scenery switch from darker to lighter and viceversa

Hm, maybe you have bit of hardware issue (video card or monitor, maybe even the cable between the 2)?

On something slightly different, my dcs runs pretty smooth but yesterday I was setting up VoiceAttack so I set dcs to non full screen, smaller than monitor native resolution, and after switching back and forth between the applications I noticed dcs getting very stuttery even while I had vsync 120 fps which was weird, I thought maybe because I had 4 Mig-29a in the mission it overwhelmed my video card but turns out it didn't, I restarted the pc and after that it was smooth again in the same mission.

So I don't know, maybe theres bit of memory leak or something when dcs switches from one view to another as it did with me switching from dcs to VoiceAttack?

Maybe try a different cable first, I'd also check if possibly video card is running too hot, running out of vram... anything like that... even changing settings in dcs... computers can have tons of things causing issues and most of us here know this.

Good luck in finding what causes it

Just remembered that also this could be due to monitor features like Gaming HDR and some other enhancements, which my monitor has too, all of which I disabled because it was giving me inconsistency in image brightness, something like a flicker, so maybe if you have monitor that has these features try turning it all off.
