challenger 650 making colors flash when vulkan is enabled

[Edgydino]

my challenger 650 in Xplane 11 is making my sky colors and my monitor flash. the issue stops when i turn off vulkan, but it is the only aircraft with this issue.

Are you using an AMD GPU and Enhanced Skyscapes?

Unfortunately this looks like a well known bug with AMD’s Vulkan drivers on Windows (known by AMD for over a year). It can be triggered by addons that use low-level custom graphics rendering interfaces, addons such as the CL-650, Enhanced Skyscapes, Q4XP, to name a few. Most aircraft addons don’t do anything as sophisticated with their avionics rendering, for example, and therefore are not affected.

Laminar Research and AMD are well aware of the issue, but AMD seem reluctant or unwilling to allocate the resources to fix it. More reports of this issue by users to AMD may help change their minds. We all hope that maybe LR can workaround the issue in X-Plane 12, but there’s no reliable way to do so from an addon developer’s side without significantly degrading the product’s functionality. This is really on AMD to fix.

As you’ve discovered the choice to reliably avoid this issue is using OpenGL, or Vulkan on Linux if one is willing change platform.

ig ill just use openGL i really dont like AMD. seems like they do not care for their customers or their drivers. had to go with AMD it this time tho because of limited availibility of Nvidias. Thanks for the answer.
