Hi,

 

When flying at dawn or dusk I've noticed flickering cockpit shadows. It seems related to the prop strobing effect. Has anyone else noticed this?

Once I realized that the prop strobe effect is not something that would normally be noticed in a real aircraft but something caused by the sampling rate of a recording, I've found it mildly offensive. In FSX I was able to eliminate it by replacing the prop texture alpha channel with one that was near black. To me this seemed more realistic; a slight blur.

I noticed this cockpit interference prior to replacing my graphic card but it's present on the new one as well. I just noticed the relationship.

Yes, and I find it quite annoying as well. :)

I LOVE the shadows but NOT the flickering... Don't know if it's related to prop strobe or whatever, but it's a shame those shadows move all the freakin' time... I really hope MS will find a way to fix this: that would make Flight almost perfect (graphic wise).

I have noticed this too, only today. Thing is I never noticed it before and I've been playing Flight since it came out.

I suspect the flickering doesn't come from the prop, but from the way they're softening the edges of shadows. Proably part of the DirectX 9 legacy. I really don't mind it, and prefer it to hard edged shadows, but I agree it could be better.

 

What annoys me is the occasional white flash in the shaded part of the cockpit when the sun or moon is above and behind you. I can put up with that too, for now.
