Hi,

 

I have recently installed fsx and everything seems to work fine with the exception of black vertical flickering when panning in spot view. I have turne off cockpit tips as suggested in other threads but this does not work for me. I have a gtx460se card with the 341.2 driver.

 

Your suggestions would be welcome.

 

Thanks

 

Barry

Those are probably black spikes indicating your FSX is having a problem rendering scenery due to lack of resources. Lower your settings in FSX and the display driver. When you installed FSX, did you defrag your HDD? This is important but not the total solution.

 

Best regards,

I've found this to be mostly due to the PoolSize=0/UsePools=0 tweak in the FSX.cfg file. Great performance tweak, but it does cause some artifacting, at least in my case.

Hello Jim & slait,

 

Before I installed fsx I did defrag my hard drive and my settings in fsx were already pretty low. I also removed the "poolsize" section in fsx confg. but the problem was still there.

 

I decided to remove fsx confg. and let it rebuild itself, this has now got rid of the artifacts and somehow my settings within fsx are much higher than before.

 

There does seem to be more mysteries within fsx as opposed to fs9 and I am still not convinced that fsx is better.

 

Many thanks to both of you for your suggestions.
