T6 flashing in VC

[kroswynd]

Ok so day three of owning the Texan - I too now have the flashing syndrome experienced by several in the flight deck. However i hjave noticed on my end that the flashing seems to occur only when the engines are running. Upon shutting down the aircraft the flashing stops - but still leaves remnants of the flashing artifacts. I have moved all my P3D v3.2 sliders to the left and the results are the same. I did notice mention of the the custom lights, which I still do have enabled.

I am using a 980 Ti video card with updated drivers.

Hopes this provides some additional insight.

Cheers

I can confirm that with custom lights selected off - the issue exists no more.

Custom lights off --> no flashing. But need to restart P3D v3.2 after changing this setting.

Yes ideally the sim shouldn't be running when your running the aircraft config programs.

Thank you everyone for the confirmation on the lights we will look into what might be causing the issue for some users. If I can just ask one more thing, can you guys let us know what settings you are running in P3D, sometimes these can have a great impact, esp with the new optional lighting options.

thanks,
Lewis

I experienced it for the first time yesterday (total flying time 5 hours), I use the custom lights. I restarted P3Dv3.2 and no problem but I had a CTD after one hour in my flight. My graphic card is a GTX 970 with the latest drivers installed.

Hi.
I Have custom lights selected on all my A2A aircraft , and have no flashing , as per the video , but i do get that effect , if i reselect the PMDG JS4100 to many times , this i was doing while refining the camera views , and when that flashing started i just shut down the sim and re booted it up .
I was lead to believe it is a fault , within FSX its self , and i think there is some thing in the PMDG help forums on avsim , over the issue .
Regards alan.

Hi: I'm having the same problem. I have two Nvdia GTX 960's set up in SLI. I have no problems with other aircraft. I downloaded the latest Nvdia drivers, and did a clean install. The problem persists. No flashing on an outside view. Just in the VC. The problem seemed to grow over time. It started with a single slash of sky blue light out of the right hand window. I though a file might be corrupted, so I did a fresh install of the T-6. Problem solved for a short time, but then the flashing in the cockpit started. My problem is exactly the same as the video's posted before. I don't have a super-powerful PC, except for the video cards, but I haven't experienced this problem with any other planes.
