April 23, 20179 yr Hello. I started a flight from the most southern airport in Argentina (I don't remember the name or icao) to Base Marimbio (SAWB) with the A2A comanche. at the time I reached my cruising altitude the view started zooming randomly in the VC. Over a minute or two this got worse until the screen became completely black. The outside and the tower views worked fine, but when I swithed back to the VC the screen became black again and I couldn't see anything. I've tried this with other aircraft and everytime when I let it cruise for a while without doing anything the same happens. This makes me feel frustrated because I can't do long(ish) flights. Does anyone else have this problem or does anyone know a solution? Thanks a lot.
April 23, 20179 yr Administrators Does this happen with any other aircraft and does it happen only on longer flights? Possible graphics card heating up do to dirty fans. Virtual Cockpits will demand more from the CPU and Graphics than an outside view.

I don't think the problem is with my grapghics card, I can run FSX at a decent fps with my current settings. the strange thing is that it always starts zooming randomly and after a minute the screen blacks out, and when I swith to the outside view or other views they work perfectly well. thanks for the reply though
April 23, 20179 yr Administrators Are you in full-screen mode when the cockpit starts zooming and goes black? If so, have you tried going to windowed mode to see if it corrects itself?

April 24, 20179 yr Administrators One last thing to check on...... any external FSX related programs running, EZDOK, Payware weather, etc?

April 24, 20179 yr G- effects on in aircraft realism settings? this causes this type of behavior. Herman

I have had this happen in a few freeware fighter jets!

April 24, 20179 yr Certainly sounds like you are blacking out due to lack of oxygen. Happens when you get to high altitude in an unpressurised plane without an oxygen supply. A2A have this built into their models. 3080rtx on a i7 12700k with 32 Gig ddr5. 2gig Ssd Quest 2 Windows 11

I didn't know it was simulated like this, with the zooming and stuff... Thank you very much for the answers!!
