So, what's the cure against flickering shadows (ATi)

When I disable Crossfire the flickering disappears.

I'm with you Codex, no real probs till this latest patch, however with a 5970 card I don't have the option to disable crossfire

You need to have two or more GPU's installed for the menu option to be visible

DOH! Just noticed you've got the 5-9-70.

Well I think I have a work around for dual GPU cards like my 5970.... in conf.ini change Render=D3D10_0 to Render=D3D11_0 .....for me no more crossfire logo in the top corner and stuttering and tearing have goneskey

Hopefully this helps others with dual GPU cards

@Goanna

I experimented with setting DRD11_0 quite some time ago but I have to say I'm seriously doubting whether it actually renders in DX11 or in fact reverts to DX9, I don't see an actual difference to be honest.

It renders in my card.

The game starts and I can load a map and play, but there no antialiasing, graphical glitches and missing objets and textures, there no water for example.

DX11 is incomplete at the moment , that is why is not available now.

I've noticed that flickering shadows only seems to exist in cockpi view!
If i go outside view and watch the flickering is gone?

Yes.

The trees, houses, ... , shadows is flickering in cockpit view.

Basically is because the game, while you are in cockpit view, is using for outside objects lower shadows map sizes.

I had this Sim tweaked to flyable condition and I was pretty happy. I see the same thing with flickering shadows and lots of other graphics anomalies that were not present before the latest patch. The Sim is now unflyable for me. I am going back to the previous version.

I wonder if they will ever get this right. Not feeling warm and fuzzy right about now.

Back to A-10C (it works!), and IL2 1946 UP Mods til they figure this Albatros out

....We have a similar system and the same card, I will try your conf.ini change. I was about to try a reinstall and go back to last patch. Could you share your card and ingame settings? I have tried all combos since patch and it just wont return to flyable FPS. Would be most appreciated!
