Video slices as you pan around

[specialist 51]

Has anyone had the problem of looking around your cockpit in P3D v3, and noticing your view slice your aircraft as you pan? My setting work great for me, smooth frame rates, not blurry or stuttering, but for some reason, as I pan my view, a sharp quick split before getting back to normal.

Turn VSYNC on in the display settings.

Or get yourself a Gsync monitor   :Big Grin:

VSYNC is on, still have the same issue. Never had this problem in FSX. But that G Sync monitor is what I might have to be looking at. Didn't know what the hell it was causing my problem, to discovering what a big difference a G Sync monitor makes, however, they are not cheap.

Still happy with it.

Nevertheless it seems clear VSYNC isn't activated so you need to figure out why. You can try setting it on in nvidia control panel or nvidia Inspector.

Not so, Mark. VSYNC is active. It's active in P3Dv3, NVidia control panel, and inspector. I'm using GeForce GTX 970, and driver is up to date, version 372.70. I think Massimo is right, G Sync Monitors is the way to go. I'm looking at one now, preferably one at 165hz, but if not, 144hz.

I had major issues with screen tearing when I first installed my 4K monitor. Took me a while of fiddling with different settings, but I was eventually able to fix it.  Can't remember exact settings that fixed it, but I think it was a combination of switching my monitor from 60 to 30 mhz and increasing max pre-rendered frames in NVIDIA Control Panel so you might give that a try.

Perhaps we have a semantic issue here. I'm sure you have tried to activate VSYNC but if it was active you would not be getting tearing. That's what it is for.

Because P3D runs as a borderless window, not true fullscreen mode, you need to be using an aero theme for windows.

Right click your desktop, choose Personalize, and then choose one of the aero themes.

This theme you can then modify to your liking.

 

Using an aero theme makes sure the Desktop Window Manager (DWM) is active, which handles vsync.

Thanks Peter, when I get home I will try and change my windows theme to aero and see if that helps.

[specialist 51]

Thanks Peter, once again. That was it, I changed the theme to aero, and now I'm not getting any screen tear!  You saved me a good $300 to $800, in not having to invest in a new G Sync monitor.

Your welcome, glad I could help.

Peter, you solved one of the most annoying things I had in P3D!!  Thanks much for this tip!  (I wasn't running an Aero theme)
