The Main Reason I Shelve PMDG Products

Recommended Posts

Or any other high altitude aircraft has nothing to do with the aircraft themselves, but for me is the terrible flicker I get where clouds meet mountains. I'm on my way right now from PAJN to PANC, and looking down from Fl380 the whole landscape below is just a big flicker fest, again where the clouds meet the mountain bases. I have both Opus and Active Sky 2012. Does anyone have any solutions I might try? I always end up just shelving these great jets in frustration and going back to GA low and slow, but this T7 is so nice I've decided its time to reach out for a possible solution, and see how others cope. Thanks in advance for any advice!

I sympathize, FSX is full of nasty graphical artifacts! I don't know the solution but I am banking on P3D V2 taking care of a lot of that stuff. No PMDG though! :(

FSX is over taxed,we need a new platform. My computer is dialed in,and at least once a week,there's always some issue.

Its 10 pounds of #@&* in a 5 pound sack.

Are you by chance using BP=0 in your fsx.cfg? If so, try scaling back some of your sliders and increasing water to High 2x.

You have a screenshot?

Well a screenshot wouldn't show any flickering unfortunately :(

Are you using any clouds from AS 2012? Because if you are, and using them correctly, you should not be seeing this.

Jim,

 

I think I know what he's talking about.

 

It's when a cloud layer has mountains rise up through it. It creates an edge which can be unsightly.

 

I use AS2012 and have this from time to time. When you say use clouds correctly what do you mean? I have a theme installed but I'm obviously missing something.

If you are using opus disable fog and mist effect. That should solve it

Injected correctly from AS to FSX, with FSX closed at the time of injection.

lol, I love how we're singled out here like our products have anything at all to do with this. You should say "high altitude flight" or something.

 

For what it's worth you can easily see this effect down low in a GA airplane too. I have countless times.

ROFLMAO ..... what a great quote. Never heard it before, but can certainly imagine it. Almost as good as my favourite .... "If your IQ was any lower, you would need watering". Brilliant stuff.
