Re: Graphic flashing when using tow bar

Post by renaissanceman »

I can verify that on my system with a GTX 670 card turning V-Sync off in nVidia Inspector eliminates most of the undesirable graphic effects of the towing feature in full-screen mode. With V-Sync on, towing was only usable in windowed mode. I just did a quick test without my controllers plugged in. I'll test further later today.

With V-Sync off, towing on and in full screen external view, panning is very jerky. I do not see a frame-rate drop.

After testing, I will probably turn V-Sync back on. I do not have a problem switching to windowed mode for the few times I will need to tow.

Thanks for the confirmation Jim.

My thoughts too if a fix can't be found.

Cheers,

...Edit: a bit more fiddling with this in the sim leads me to suspect it's actually the green 'towing' text message at the top of the screen which is causing the graphical effects on my system. The reason being is that if I use the feature when ATIS is active, the ATIS text briefly over-writes the 'towing' text, and all goes back to normal for a few seconds. Just wondered if it would it be possible for the A2A guys to issue a test fix which removes the green text bar from the towing feature?

Guys, we think we've found what causes this flickering, so don't go berserk and change everything in your PC settings.
Just wait for a small update that should be out in a couple of days.
