I've been doing a lot of repainting lately. Popping in and out of the simulator, going around aircraft to look at them for anomalies. Here's the scenario.
Prepar3D 2.4 loads and the plane is in front of me. It's a sunny day with scattered clouds in the sky. No clouds on the plane I'm viewing. As I go round the plane in a 360 degree circle (while looking at the aircraft) the light goes from bright to dim. Like on a dimmer switch connected to a light in your house. Depending on which direction the nose is pointed, the area where the brightness changes, varies. So this is not being caused by by the (alpha/spec) paint scheme or a specific aircraft.
I went into the weather settings and changed it to clear skies as a test. When the sim reloaded I did the same 360 walk around it. The symptom of blinking daylight was gone.
I'm wondering if anyone else experiences this.
Edit:
The problem may be my video card getting overloaded. I forgot I'd edited the cloud draw distance from 8 to 12. That tosses a lot of clouds out there. Back to the original setting it went.
