Koyote Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hi all ) I have just a small question ) When i fly at night, then all street lights starting to flickering / flashing in the same rhythm like the strobe lights. You can see this exremely good, when you fly with the Mooney, because this plane have fast flashing strobe lights. You can see this problem also with other planes, but if you like to test this, it's the best when you take the Mooney and look over the wings, when you fly over a city. I have all service packs installed SP2 for FSX and SP for AUBlue, and i fly only with DX9 Mode. Maybe you can take a look at this ) Thank you very much for looking into this, and also a very very big thanks for a fantastic scenery product like FTX )) I love this scenery every day more ) Best regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hi all Have no one, an idea what this problem can cause? The only way to fix this, is when i switch off the strobe lights, or when i use my TrackIr, that i never look into the direction of the strobe lights. Maybe it's a Nvidia issue, but i tested several drivers, and all have the same problem. Please, if you have an idea how to fix this, or what i can try to fix it, it would be nice if you can give me a small feedback. Thanks.

Wolter van der Spoel Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I must admit that I haven't got a clue as to what can cause your "issue" and probably others either hence why no one responded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Henare Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hi there i to have seen this occur, but have no idea why, i suspect it is video card related. The effects we use are no different to any of the FSX effects, meaning there is nothing we have done outside of the sdk to cause this though they are our own fx files so there should be no cross contamination. On saying that just in the ast day i have tested this while doing some other tests, but i didnt happen, i have just updated my Nvidea drivers so perhaps its fixed??? I will do some more testing when time permits, but it seems to be only with certain aircraft. bear with us and i will try to work it out, or atleast say its a FSX or Video bug.

Koyote Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hi ) Thank you very much, that you look into this ) I make some testings too. At the moment, i can only say, that all service packs for FSX and FTX are installed, and my Video Card have the newest driver too. Here is my System: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3.5 GHz 4GB DDR2 PC800 RAM Nvidia Geforce 8800 Ultra 768MB 175.19 ( I have this problem also with older drivers) Windows Vista SP1 FSX SP2 with DX 9 Mode Regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 It's me again ;-) Hey, Uhu, i think you found a fix by yourself. You posted in June into this topic: http://orbxsystems.com/forums/index.php?topic=3560.0 I try this out, and give you a feedback if this tool can fix my problem ) See you later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hi This tool don't fix my problem ( The flashing street lights are only visible within the virtual cockpit, and not outside the plane. Looks really like an FSX bug. Looks like i have to fly without lights at night ( FSX have also a second lighting bug, where you can see all position and strobe lights bleeding throught the wings and cockpit wall, when the plane is above 50 ft from ground. But this is an old problem and no one found a fix for this ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Koyote, it did not help you, sorry for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Hi Uhu No problem ) Maybe someone of the dev team can find a solution when it's not FSX related ) I don't give up the hope ) Thanks, and have a nice day ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valcor Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have this same problem as well. Running Vista 64 with 169.25's. I've tried newest drivers too. Strobe lights don't matter though because the problem occurs with ultra-light or any airplane, strobes on or not. In a group, residential lighting areas will flash on and off.
