Strange dots top of screen flying 737

Featured Replies

Hello guys,

 

When flying the PMDG 737NGX at dusk and night I have some strange lights dots on the top of my screen. They are the same color of the flood light i'm using in the cockpit when it's dark. It sometimes flashes and its really annoying. Someone who can help me? Thanx!

 

 

Flying saucers from outer space!  (No sorry could not resist )

 

Have you tried an other graphics driver?

FSX does this to me on occasion when I switch between programs while in full screen mode.

I only use FSX as i play it (and active sky). But I never switch between programs while in full screen mode. When I pan around a bit the dots are gone. But when I set it to a view a while the dots will appear again unfortunately

Noticed that sometimes It is a bar of dots, showing in this screenshot

Black on top of picture is my monitor by the way, below that you can see a line

In my experience, artefacts like those are generated by Nvidia video cards when certain types of anti-aliasing are enabled. Try disabling AA or selecting a different algorithm to see if that helps.

Hmm, I'm using kind of settings in my NVIDIA inspector. Will try other settings this evening.

I have this also in some of the planes i own. Mostly at night. As I use TrackIR, I have developed an extremely nice fix - simply look up or down a bit and the dots are gone.

Hahaha, thats right. But when I look up again (which is necessarry sometimes) the dots will apppear after some time

check your video card CPU temperature.

I experienced a similar phenomenon when the video card CPU's fan stop work

Hmm, dont think it has to do with that. I have water cooled pc so my cooling is good

Water cooled GPU?

Sagi wrote CPU instead of GPU,I guess.

Check if your GPU´s (videocard) cooling is working, guess you have the problem there....

Guys, I've seen this before with the card properly cooled, working normally.  It's okay.  It's unfortunate, but it's okay.  If you switch to windowed mode, you'll note that it disappears, so it's not a hardware malfunction/damage/cooling issue.
