I've finally started to come to grips with the 707, and decided to try my first long-distance flight today. The flight itself went well, until I was coming in for approach.
Shortly after capturing the localizer, my windscreen went completely black, as if the textures had suddenly changed. I ended up having to land the plane from third-person view, as I couldn't see outside.
This happened roughly when the A/P intercepted the glideslope, but I think that may just be a coincidence, since it didn't return to normal after I'd shut off the autopilot and touched down.
EDIT: Perhaps related but perhaps not, on nighttime flights, I've noticed black, flickering bars and polygons that flash across the screen.
