When you hit the water, it´s much more brighter than here, and even in the cockpit lighting the transtion with SSAO is too much, maybe.

Try this! I think will solve the problem!!! Please try this in your monitor, because i think it's just that!!!

Fingers crossed!!!

If it doesnt work, i can see now that your problem isn't only the proppeler, all your graphics presents massive transitions from dark to much brighter. And maybe it's a bug... But let's try!

Thanks much for your help and time, I've tried many combinations adjusting contrast, brightness, etc, however, no effect, problem persists. As I mentioned, this was never an issue until two RC patches prior, so, when ever it was that that patch came out, the issue arose, I did mention it, even in the earlier bug release, however, I guess no one saw fit to address it. 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.

Hi Priller 26 I have very similar spec computer to LoBiSoMeM and use the latest nvidia drivers.
Processor AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor
Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Gaming graphics 4096 MB Total available graphics (931GB
and I also dont have the prop simmer you have. Have you tried th reinstall Cod from scratch not sure if it will help but worth a try

Hello, yes, I did a clean install, didnt fix anything, Im quite baffled, just does not make sense, worked quite well before the glitch arose, at least a dozen people and one Mod have the same issue, so, I just cant see it being our setup and card, but, at this point, who knows. I'm trying Wings of Prey instead, its not CLod by any means graphic wise, but patched 10 or so times in the last two years and it runs great, so, gotta work with what I have. Im not going to do a complete reformat of the OS just for this game on the off chance something was tweaked, because frankly, it's worn me out, and every other game I have plays smooth as silk with my system. Thanks for your time and feedback, I do appreciate it.

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...

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.

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.

Hope she doesn't read these forums
