Started happening after the last service update. It'll be working fine for a long time then the display will go black for a second or two and start displaying properly again. 5-10 seconds later, it will do it again. After that, it doesn't do it for a long time.

It's a Reverb G2, Win10, 3070Ti. I think it's something other than the headset because other stuff works fine with no weird blanking. 

Any idea what's going on?

I have had the same issue for a very long time with an RTX4090 and I913900k. I have given up on finding a solution and I’m just resigned to waiting for MSFS2024. Hopefully, this will not happen with the new sim.

i know this is not helping you, but at least you know you are not alone and it’s probably not a hardware issue. 😊

Both myself and my brother-in-law have had exactly the same issue on our respective systems immediately after the SU15 upload.  We both use Reverb G2 headsets, my GPU is a 4080 and my b-i-l's is running on a 3080Ti.

I had updated the nVidia driver on mine immediately before and thought it might be that so I reverted to the previous version - but it made no difference.  I then found out that my B-i-l's was having the same issue with his unchanged driver.

With it being a Reverb G2, my next thought was 'cable!'.  But it would have been more than a coincidence for b-i-l's newer set would have the same issue at exactly the same time.  I did all the normal checks and concluded that the cable was fine.  

I then thought 'settings!'   Yup - even though my 'PC' graphics settings were unchanged from pre-update, nevertheless all of my 'VR' graphics settings had been switched back to default during the update.  And the trouble is that the default settings have a lot of stuff in them which makes little visual impact but a massive impact on the higher resolution headsets.  Luckily, I had a note of my previous settings, changed them back and, for me, it sorted it. 

I've done the same with b-i-l's (I built his gaming PC for him to be able to use MSFS in VR) and that particular issue is also now resolved, although he is still getting some full CTD's randomly in some flights which we haven't bottomed yet and which, presumably, is a different issue

Hmm. That's interesting, and annoying because I was not smart enough to keep notes of my old settings. but I bet that's it, because all my controller and difficulty settings got blanked out awhile back too.

Well, it's certainly worth checking.  I'm sure that if this had happened to everyone there would have been an avsim post-fest - and that didn't happen.  But it certainly did with my statistically sound sample size of two 😄

 

I had this issue today combined with stuttering in urban areas.

Turned off the cache completely and all is well now.  Butter smooth in VR.  i7 11700K and 4070

My suspicion is that writing to the cache isn't queued for spare CPU time and as is the way with MSFSD, a bottleneck in the CPU load will take some time to clear.  A bit of overload results in stuttering, but as soon as there's a real bottleneck it has to sit back and clear the code.

This is my suspicion anyway.
