Good day all. 

Just installed V5. I see lots of flickering at addon and default airports. ATC towers, building, jetways, everywhere. Really distracting. I did not see it on v4.5. Any suggestions is appreciated. 

Thanks

In my experience it's from Dynamic Texture Streaming. Turn that off and the flickering should stop. This is a common issue with HF1 and other users have experienced it as well.

Thanks for the reply. What option is that exactly?

No problem. Bottom left of your image. Under "Image and Texture Quality". 

I have found it.

Checking the box helps lower VRAM usage a bit if you can tolerate the flickering. 

I just disabled it. It looks better but still plenty of flickering. It is mostly slim objects, like apron lights posts, ATC towers, antennas and some building roof edges. Overall better now.  

Turn off Enhanced Atmospherics and God Rays.   When Active Sky comes out, combine that with SkyForce and you'll have beautiful skies.  I get tremendous flickering of trees, etc., when I have those things checked.

Let me know if that helps.

Hi Stan.

Yes, that did help a lot as well. Some small like flickering now, mostly I see it on airport fences where there are small details like rods etc. But it is way better now.

Thank you all very much.

Don't feel too bad....I'm still seeing more road traffic at FL25 than on the ground.  There will be other "hotfixes".  Guaranteed!!!

You can leave dynamic texture rendering on but disable VSYNC in the sim and the flickering is gone as well...

An ORBX problem as i've heard

I have flickering also. With no AI and at a default airport I can have dynamic texturing streaming on plus the VSync and triple buffering on and the is no flickering at all in my sim. I add AI planes to the mix (I don't have any scenery installed yet) and the sim flickers with both those options on.

Bring up your Tess to full right...and see what that does for you, and your AA set to 8 is really taxing your system...try 2xx and or 4xx ,and I also suggest trying FXAA as on.  It will help with any jags...
