can we give devellopers a second chance with BOM ?

Hello Ataros, global vsync on or off, combined with game vsync on or off makes no difference. The issue seems to be related to sun and its reflection, that is, the prop flicker/shimmer arises when the sun is at my back, see pics, and only when the sun is at this attitude relative to my flight path. The one pic shows a snapshot of the flicker, which is obviously much worse in real time. Also, when I fly and look up to the sun, it about 95 percent washes out the entire screen. Also, running CEM and adjusting prop pitch makes no difference to this issue

Any thoughts? Thanks for your help.

I think everyone has this flicker in the sun but not that bad. This means it is a combination of ingame, driver and conf.ini settings (might be overheating or low power?). Probably it is a shader or texture related setting. I would reset everything to default, via clearning drivers with drivercleaner, deleting 1C Softclub folder under documents(switching off Steam cloud first to create new config), etc., etc.

Thanks so much, I'll give it a shot later this week....maybe you can walk me through the process a bit..I can uninstall the game...turn off steam cloud, delete the entire contents of the 1Csoftclub folder (cache...everything)....should I delete the 1Csoftclub folder prior to or after first uninstalling the game? I think unisntalling it still leaves lots of old stuff behind?
Again, thanks for taking the time to help with this, I think this and doing a complete driver uninstall/clean may do the job, if not...I'll have to live with it but keeping fingers crossed!

Delete it first and try if it helps. Than you can delete it again after installation. But make sure cloud is off. You can backup your key settings first, but there is a small chance the problem may be caused by this file.

Personally speaking I think the devs have done a great job with the last patch,for me anyway,and once again I am enjoying the sim.

Would I buy BOM?........well,a couple of months back I would have laughed openly at the idea,there were so many problems with COD that there was no way I would have been remotely interested in it.

However,Luthier and the devs have,with this last update restored my faith in them again,yes,there are still small problems but it has now come a long way since it's release state,and the sim is great to fly.

This being the case I still am not interested in BOM as a campaign,but if this new sequel brings with it a whole host of better updates with it,i/e better comms,improved clouds and weather etc,that will enhance COD,then yes I will buy it.

i think they have keep enhancement and fixes just for the sequel to sell it more easily in great number.

Hello Ataros..thanks for the help..followed your instructions exactly, it did not totally cure the issue, but I think its a bit better, it is still present, but only when the sun is to my back...and I will just live with it. No other choice really, but I do think the reinstall may have helped somewhat. I hope one day when BOM is out, it may cure the issue..till then, I'll just be happy with what i have, as in all other aspects, I do love the game, its true, nothing else close to it out there.
