Hey Guys,

 

Posted this in the PMDG NGX forum a couple of days back, didn't get any positive solution. Any ideas on what it could be? not just an NGX issue, but a variety of payware aircraft.

 

Hey guys,

 

This has been happening to me a bit lately. At night time in FSX, in a few aircraft, but notably always the NGX, I get this weird effect on my VC gauges that happens seemingly for no reason. It also does something similar to the 2D panel, but only the aft overhead when I click on a switch (e.g. switching the IRS' to align or nav etc.) I've tried updating nVidia drivers etc but that hasn't fixed it at all. Happen on my old computer too, which was an ATI graphics card, so I don't think that has anything to do with it.

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers

If you´re using a nvidia vcard than it´s a confirmed issue of the new drivers. Nothing that you or anybody can do to avoid. The only way to avoid is clicking "ESC" than cancel in the flight. It should correct the double screen when you go back to the flight.

Turning off tooltips *usually* either cures it, or severely reduces its occurance. Although that means that navigating click spots is a lot harder. It's not a bug that's confined to the PMDG btw, it happens with any guage, although the bigger the textures in use, the more likely it seems to be to occur - I get it occasionally with carenado guages.

Yeah, I get it occasionally in other payware aircraft as well. And yeah, it's an nVidia card. I'll give the 'esc' option a try, and see how that goes. It doesn't really bother me that much, the sim still runs fine, I just can't read my gauges for half the flight.

 

Cheers guys
