blaksky Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hello, all! Ever since installing P3Dv5, I've been having an issue where most of my textures "flash". This is most noticeable during night time. I find the sim not enjoyable with the bug. Here's a video (not mine): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFRtbJMf1Xw. What I have installed: Global Base Pack, Global Buildings HD, Global Trees HD. It happens all over the place. It happens with addon airports, as well. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Ben! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are running a weather engine...and there is reports of lightning...your building facades will flash from the lightning bolt. That's a legitimate flashing of the outside building texture. Here's a test...if there is lightning flashing in the sky...face your cockpit towards the 'flashing' building. If your cockpit metal fabs around the instrument panel and window flash in union with the building you are facing...that is the test...that is the lightning flash 'lighting' it up...

blaksky Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hi, I wasn't using a weather engine. Just default weather does it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is so...then the weather theme had some lightning intervals. I suggest you try the worst weather...I think it's Thunder Storm, or something...that should produce visible lightning flashes and lightning bolts. If you get that...try my test...and I'm sure you will see the cockpit and the building facade you are facing light up, totally in sync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaksky Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 I can try, but I doubt this is the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaksky Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 I just checked. Seems to random, to me! Is there a way to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Sawatzky Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hi In your video I don't see any building textures flashing, but I do see the ground textures flashing weird patterns. The first thing that comes to mind for me is your GPU is having a hard time or your P3D settings are not being good to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaksky Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hi. It's not my video. Just similar as to what's happening to me. It's doing to same thing but to buildings. A friend of mine confirms this issue (he has a GTX 1080) (I have a GTX 1060 6GB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Jansen Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Not sure if this is the same issue I experienced the other day but I had to uncheck the "Dynamic Texture Streaming" checkbox option to remove the flashing on my scenery. This is found under Display settings->Image and texture Quality->Under Texture Filtering. My theory (could be wrong): Its a texture compression option introduced in HF1 to reduce system ram. On my PC, which has a 1080TI, the compression affects how the textures are displayed in the sim, producing flashes on terrain, buildings etc. Very Annoying! I turned it off and viola, no more screen flashing! Worth a try at least - screenshot where this setting is below: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkH Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 George is right. But in addition to his suggestion: it is either dynamic texture streaming or VSYNC, both together result in flashing textures. Either one off and you are fine. Be aware that without dynamic texture streaming your VRAM usage will be higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
