New FSX install and I'm getting "flashing" that almost looks like lightning while rolling for takeoff. This flicker can also be seen when panning outside the aircraft. I'm using Nick's setup, including nHancer's. This is something I've never experienced before and any suggestions as to how to eliminate the problem would be appreciated. Thanks.

My Specs:
i7 920 oc'd to 3.8
6gb Corsair RAM
ASUS P6T Deluxe v2,
EVGA 275GTX
1TB WD 7200/32 Black
2x 750GB WD 7200/32 Black
Samsung 22" 1680x1050 LCD
Corsair 800D case
Windows 7 64-bit

it's in the display settings of FSX, but you may not have it as your card may not support DX10, although looking at your rig, I'd be surprised if it didn't. But I dont know too much about hardware so forgive me if I'm incorrect.

There it was, right in front of me!

Anyway, nope, it's not enabled so it must be something else?

that's about as far as my help goes. I have issues with flickering taxiways with DX10 preview enabled so thought that might be it. you may want to do some research on what drivers are best for your graphics card and FSX

If you're not already using them,try the 182.50 drivers. Wink

I run a GTX 260/216 and these have been the best drivers so far for me. They work for Stalker also.
I try all of the new ones that come out but I keep going back to these.

The mind is like a parachute...it only works when it's open.

If it's the same kind of flashing that I am thinking about, having "cockpit tool tips" enabled used to cause that for me. I disabled it, and no more flashes.
