every once in a while with ASV ...the whole screen will blink just one time for a millisecond...i have online mode dissabled so this is not a result of updating..

Hi,This can occur during the final weather write process, and is unavoidable for the most part (FS screen refresh). Even real wx in FS2004 does it. Some things to help contain the problem: Use altitude suppression, toggle RENDER TO TEXTURE setting (if using 32 bit normal clouds), confirm 100% 3D Clouds, update your video driver...Best,

the real wx in FS2004 does NOT do this...EVER!...that's the only reason i would even dare to complain about such a superior product...i'll try what you said...thanks for your quick response!

I have not seen the internal weather in FS2004 do it, but all addon weather programs do. As Damian said turning off Render To Texture, greatly reduces/eliminates the problem.

yes i will try....just one more thing...i just did a very long flight from new york to italy...as i got close to italy...the atc started to stutter..this never happened before i installed asv...have there been any reports of asv causing this?
