stubby2 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Posted February 11, 2021 I am currently running Sky Maxx Pro 4.9 and Real Wx Connector 1.2 with Active Sky for X plane. I have run into a very odd problem. I am getting flashes in the cockpit view when flying through heavy clouds. I have not seen this occur in any external view. When I turn off SMP the problem stops. I tried turning down the cloud draw distance and turning off all non essential feature such as terrain blending etc but that did not help. I also tried turning off ASXP and using default wx. I do not see this problem except with heavy cloud cover. In benign conditions things look ok. I have no idea what this is.
sundog Posted February 12, 2021 Report Posted February 12, 2021 Could be cloud shadows affecting the cockpit... have you tried setting cloud shadows to zero?
stubby2 Posted February 12, 2021 Author Report Posted February 12, 2021 I set cloud shadows, cloud reflections, lens flare, terrain blend, crepuscular rays all to 0.
sundog Posted February 12, 2021 Report Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Weird. All I can do is guess as I haven't heard of that happening before... make sure your video drivers are up to date, and you might want to experiment with your HDR and anti-aliasing settings. Some drivers have trouble with certain combinations of HDR and AA. Of course a plugin conflict is always a possibility as well. Edited February 12, 2021 by sundog
stubby2 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Report Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) I have been playing around with some settings and it appears that Vulkan may have been the problem. I turned it off and flew for about 15 minutes in heavy clouds with no problems. I'll report back if anything changes. Udate: I just installed Skymaxx Pro 5.0. I turned Vulkan back on and got no flashing. Problem seems resolved. Edited March 6, 2021 by stubby2 1
