Cockpit and Cloud Flicker AMD Crossfire


Recommended Posts

Everything was working OK until the latest update. Now DCS is doing what it did to me not too long ago; flickering cockpit and clouds. I can't seem to make it go away, no matter what settings I use. Seems to happen really badly during dawn or dusk in simulation. My specs are in my sig. I don't believe it is my video drivers because this happened after the last DCS Update. I updated my AMD drivers hoping that would fix the issue. It didn't. Any help or assistance is appreciated. This is quite frustrating because it seemed this problem was behind me. It is difficult to fly now, all I see is the damn flickering.

I know ED are doing a lot of tweaking behind the scenes in the lighting department, not sure if this has anything to do with your problem? I run a single GTX 1070 and see no flickering.

 

Whats it like if you run on a single card? Is it a bug with crossfire in the latest update perhaps?

Is it the cloud shadows you are referring to? Ive noticed that too, that I at times get a very fast flicker from them. Could be related to low angle sun / long shadows. I will keep an eye on that.

It doesn't have flicker when I am not using Crossfire. The cloud flicker doesn't bother me nearly as much as the cockpit flicker. I think it might have something to do with the long shadows/low sunlight. I notice no cockpit flicker when the sun is full and bright. I test this in the D-9 Freeflight mission that I think starts at dusk. Massive flickering. Instant action Takeoff, during midday, I don't notice any flickering. But I can't take the D-9 off due to being terrible with it... Not so noticeable in helos, due to the rotor blade shadows flickering, but it is worse in the Mi-8, due to the blue-green cockpit. Again, this is really only noticeable in lower light conditions. I hope this gets fixed soon, I am in the middle of the huey campaign and can feel my skills slipping due to not playing. Oh well, might have to pretend my virtual pilot has a virtual condition that makes him see virtual flickering. Maybe a combat injury...

AFAIK, w/ the latest 1.5 Release/OB Builds, it's not the clouds, but the Actual Sky.

 

Aircraft LODs, Ground Objects Etc will render, but the Sky Will only Render Every other Frame, causing Odd Frames to be Aircraft/Object w/ Black Background.
