Cant Stop the Screen Tearing

I've played around with a lot of settings and I get a tear-free, flicker-free image with in-game v-sync off, g-sync off, and Nvidia Control Panel v-sync set to fast with no frame limitation.   I turned g-sync off because it introduces OLED flicker in dark scenes... turns out g-sync was doing nothing for me (I'm at 45-60FPS on a 120Hz panel).

(Not mine... copied from Reddit)...

Explanation of terms for those that are unsure:

V-SYNC - Framerate synced with monitor refresh rate (no tearing, input lag, increasing input lag as framerate lowers)

V-SYNC OFF - Framerate un-synced (tearing, very little input lag)

Adaptive Sync - At high framerates, VSync is enabled to eliminate tearing. At low frame rates, it's disabled to minimise stuttering. (input lag at high frame rates, tearing at low frame rates)

G-SYNC / FreeSync - Syncs refresh rate to frame rate (no tearing, minor input lag) (important to note that if maximum refresh rate is hit, G-SYNC will no longer be functioning so then input lag may be encountered if V-SYNC is enabled, input lag will not be encountered if V-SYNC is disabled but tearing will be) 

FAST-SYNC - De-coupled rendering and monitor refresh. VSYNC OFF but the monitor will only render completely rendered frames, thus eliminating tearing (MINOR input lag but NO TEARING! ) also it is monitor agnostic so it will work with any screen. It is analogous to hardware triple buffering but does not back-pressure the render pipeline.

It is a clever solution to the problem and requires very little overhead there should be no performance hit. It can still be used with G-SYNC for those that have systems that struggle to maintain FPS > refresh rate.

I like what you have to say here. I'm currently playing around with settings in attempt to limit screen tearing inside the cockpit views.  I have an older system (8 year old technology) with a gtx 1050 video card.  Can you change the nvidia control panel settings while still in the sim? or is that something that needs to be adjusted with the sim off?  I plan on changing the v-sync settings and see if it results in anything better.  

That g-sync flicker is terrible on OLED. Shame there is no fix for it.

Since the flicker only appears at lower frame rates, the best solution is to use frame generation to double your frame rates so they are consistently above 60FPS... thus allowing you to use g-sync with with OLED.

Even with FG, still get it. Known OLED issue upon researching it further.

Yeah, I find that with FG, I'm getting around 80FPS and it's only really noticeable in certain night scenes. I guess it depends on how much night flying you do and even how sensitive your eyes may be to it.  At least in my case, with FC, it's not bothering me anymore to have G-sync enabled.
