March 25, 20197 yr Commercial Member All of a sudden my version, v4, is blinking. Momentary black screens blinking on and off...what?

March 25, 20197 yr Are you using Win 10? Didn't a recent Win 10 update induce this effect? David Porrett
March 25, 20197 yr Author Commercial Member Could be the update as it just started recently. I find that if I check the V sync box it stops it.

March 25, 20197 yr Odd that you mention this...I saw the same this morning. It appears to be related to the low sun angle (early morning)...over the course of several minutes it slowed down and then stopped.

March 25, 20197 yr Does this happen if full-screen mode, too? I experienced it one day in windowed mode (scared the #$% out of me as I thought my GPU was failing), and I googled it only to find out that it's a known issue, but supposedly only affecting windowed mode (switching to full screen cured it for me).

All modes in P3D are windowed mode...one has a border, the other not, but P3D does not run in exclusive full-screen mode like FSX did.

March 26, 20197 yr Same problem here, I thought Windows update as well since I wiped P3D and went to an older video driver, nothing fixes it except Vsync. I was testing a beta aircraft and thought that was the cause. The only other thing that changed was a Windows update..no other games/sims seem to be impacted except P3DV4 Steve McNitt
March 26, 20197 yr Disable fullscreen optimizations under the application settings and Compatibility.
March 26, 20197 yr Author Commercial Member And where would that be? Paul Grubich 2017 - Professional texture artist painting virtual aircraft I love. Be sure to check out my aged cockpits for the A2A B-377, B-17 and Connie at Flightsim.com and Avsim library
March 26, 20197 yr Right click on either a shortcut or the prepar3d executable and hit properties. It will be under there. Edited March 26, 20197 yr by JasonPC
March 26, 20197 yr That setting does seem to fix the flashing but then the sim is very stuttery and choppy now(used to run unlimited / no vsync). With that enabled + vsync+ triple buffering its smooth again. Good find though, thanks for sharing JasonPC. Steve McNitt
