I know many people here have the same unresolved issue, which seemed not to warrant any attention from the devs. Such is life.


Thanks again for your help, no one else has has batted an eye at trying to help those with this problem come up with a solution. My video card is fine, and checks out, I can fly DCS and wings of prey and other flight sims, actually any other game, with no such horizontal tearing to the screen.

It looks like a vsynk issue. Try disabling vsynk both in game AND in the drivers. (I assume epilepsy filter is off and engine runs with correct prop pitch and mixture, etc.)

Thanks Atros, I'll give it a try, and yes, Epilepsy filter is off, I'm also still playing at non CEM, still learning, so I don't think I have the ability to alter propeller pitch if Im not playing CEM. I'll report back after I make sure vsync is off in drivers, however, isn't vsync supposed to prevent tearing and thus should be ON? Thanks for your help.

Well, going out today and getting a new card, strong enough to power through the worst of the performance issues has certainly made a difference for me. Now that our poor, orphaned, spastic (but somewhat gifted) child has a new set of skates, it's time to take it out to see what it can do...

What card did you get feathered? Im running a gtx 580 with 3 gigs of vram. The game is extremely smooth, almost entirely absent stutters, all but you can see the above issue (sun reflections/flicker) is not abated by a high vram card.

I ended up getting a superclocked EVGA 660ti 2gb. Budget was pretty tight, but I'm satisfied with the result. Very good value for money it seems. The wife doesn't know.

Thankfully no (looks fearfully over shoulder). Shall report back if I have any news about shimmer etc. just about to head out for dinner.

Do you experience any prop flicker/shimmer when flying over land or water, and the sun is to your back? Thanks..sounds like you got a good card!

There should be a "funny" button on this forum!
