LOL. Hey, I'm old; sometimes things fly by me. Well and I don't spend much time on forums unless I'm looking for a solution to a problem.
I understand the weather radar and terrain things; it's great to have, and a really nice addition on the 777. I've never had the flashing issues you have, and up until a week ago I've been running this on an old Q9650. Finally had the extra cash and upgraded to an i5 4690K O/C'd to 4.2 GHz. Wow, what a difference in frame rates, even with the same GTX 560. Running (2) 24" monitors at 1080 my frames went from 8-15 to 30+. Very much looking forward to the new plane on my new computer. Flying old school at the moment though; broke out RFP -200 on Flight Sim 9 and tripping from Prague to Denver. Gotta love steam gauges sometimes; they're fun to watch spool up. Okay, so I'm easily entertained. lol.
