Every time the green message bar appears I get a slight stutter until it disappears. I know I can turn it off but I need the info. Anyone else seeing this and is there an adjustment? 

Assuming you're on P3D 5.1, I think the answer is no. There's a problem which has been there for a while where whenever the message text is generated, all undocked windows flash and there's a stutter. LM is aware and hopefully a fix will be in 5.2... but no way to know until it arrives.

It's annoying for me because I have lots of undocked panels and also my wraparound view is achieved using undocked views and if I don't turn the message text off I get regular flickering which is immersion breaking. Supposedly there is a way to get the message text via FSUIPC or SimConnect and I'm considering writing something to do that in a seperate window. A project for the weekend, perhaps. 

(It's not just message text, BTW. Some other things cause the same flashing and stuttering, so it's clearly all related to the same root cause which I imagine is related to the port to DX12. Thankfully those happen less, but it's still immersion-breaking.)

Yup happens with fsl and also gsx. Apparently a dx12 issue, so apparently nothing to do with LM (phew managed to shift that to someone else) 

Although Charlie the mod on here Seems convinced it's been fixed, when it hasn't.  It's there clear as day. 

I'll also put a punt on it that LM will do jack about it.  It doesn't effect their vanilla version, so they won't bother. Don't hold your breath.

my bad sorry.  it was the other mod w6kd , 

"  In v5.1, LM changed the Simconnect text box from Scaleform to HTML5, and that cured the text box stutters for me and lots of other folks.  I suspect a number of people did partial upgrades and still have the Scaleform windows in there...but HTML5 is working with GSX stutter-free"

I have this stutter behavior as well with text boxes and some pop out windows.

 

Also oddly enough with ChasePlane, that I’ve never been able to fix.  If ChasePlane’s main window is visible or minimized to the task bar, I’ll get stuttering and screen tearing.  If it’s minimized to the system tray instead in the lower right corner, smooth.  I’ve been tearing my hair out trying every combination of Nvidia and windows settings I can think of to try and prevent that.

 

Annoying.

Thanks for the update. Glad I'm not seeing things since I moved from 4.5HF3 to 5.1. I did not do a partial upgrade as this is a brand new build with Windows and P3D. I'll wait for the fix in 5.2.

Why do you think they will fix it in 5.2?

I should have said I hope they fix it in 5.2 seeing it is a known issue and shouldn't be too difficult to fix.

I think this covers it. There are a few others.

I would again grab it up and make sure this topic gets back on top....(last post is end august 2020)

Just to make sure they see this (again). 

I would not BET on HOPE.

Good try but I’m not new to P3D, LOL
