unsure.gif When in VC Cockpit screen or Panel (shift +1) and I swing the curser over Heading or Altitude Gauges (and sometime others) my screen goes completely white for 2 - 3 seconds and then returns to normal.......
I have recently installed a GTX260+ Graphics Card (but it also happened with my GTS8800) and have a high end computer.
Has anyone struck the same problem and possibly have a 'fix' or suggested setting???
Willing to try any suggestions.

Same problem yes, fix sorry no. I had it happen when changing to the 2D panel on the PMDG B1900D and moving my mouse over a switch to activate it. The problem showed up one day and hung around for a while and then for some random reason disappeared. I am also using an Nvidea GTS8800. What display drivers are you using? I am guessing that my problem went away when i upgraded to the latest drivers.

Try disabling 'tooltips'... its in the settings somewhere

Failing that... try disabling 'Light Bloom Effects'...

I'm not in front of my machine... so can't give specific directions to the settings... but they're in there somewhere!

Update: I did not have 'light bloom' enabled \, but removed 'tooltips' and it appears to have fixed the problem......thanks to all.

I thought that might be it... I had the same problem when I was first trying to get my multi monitors setup... the tooltips would make everything go all mental...

never figured out why... just learned to live without tooltips... to be honest, they take away from the realism anyway tongue.gif


Glad to hear you got it sorted smile.gif
