AS: Screen Flashes When Updating Wx

[Guest frankathl]

I'm using Active Sky 4.5 with updates(Build 1.93) and have noticed, just last night, that the screen flashes(once, no flickering), whenever the weather is updated(as confirmed by the ticker tape message bringing the latest METAR).I do not recall seeing this behavior previously. I wonder if it could be a driver issue, or something to do with FSUIPC(I have the version recommended with the last update, but cannot recall the version number)? Any advice on how to deal with this problem would be very welcome.BR,Frank

Hi,Could be your video driver. I suggest that you place Render to Texture in the opposite setting it is now.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg

I believe you must enable that setting when using DXT clouds as were found in Chris Willis's FS Sky World. Otherwise, I've found no need to have it enabled.
