I'm using the 2D view with my new cockpit build and recently (perhaps around the same time I switched to DX10, I'm not sure) every time I look left or right with the hat switch I get a black screen for up to 5 seconds before the image renders. This is terrifying when on the base leg and you need to turn onto finals. Any ideas?

 

I've reverted to my dx9 config but left dx10 enabled in the sim, no effect.

I cut down textures to 512, but no effect.

I cut fibre frame rate from .45 down to .22 but no effect.

 

I did try dx9, but the sim didn't like it, locked into a black screen and ctd'd so I auickly switched back to dx10!!!

 

My current fsx.cfg (the important bits, anyway) are:

Happens in Orbx scenery and in default with default planes, but is far less pronounced than with payware. In fact, with the default 172 the default view through the window renders, but the inside of the door/window is black for a brief second.  Tried disabling High Resolution 3D Virtual Cockpit, but with no luck.
