Title: VC for CS757 Freighter is flickering. P3D v3
Post by Philip_VV on Dec 26^th, 2019 at 11:34am

Dear,
I have just bought and installed and re-installed the 757 Freighter expansion for P3D V3 and have the following issue:

The virtual cockpit is flickering like crazy. I do NOT have this issue with the standard 757 PW basepack. Bought a couple of days ago. THis one is working perfect and runs very smooth.

Have bought a new laptop: 16GB RAM, Intelcore I7, Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 and reinstalled P3D V3, latest update...Am running other high quality payware aircraft without problems and am running the CS 757 PW passenger version without problems as well.

What could be the problem ?

Thanks
Best regards

Try to remove a cargo cabin (via ACE)

I can only remove the VC Passenger cabin it says.
After I tick the box, Windows gives an error notification.
When I start P3D then, it says visual model can't be displayed.

No such wording in current ACE. You are using outdated version.

I am now using version 1.5.0.177.
Reinstalled the basepack PW and the freighter expansion pack today. Downloaded today ( also disable antivirus etc during reinstall etc... )

ACE still says VC cabin.

See screenshot.

Flickering still exists...although it when i use the DHL PCF version it stops after 30 seconds and seem to be able to use it without flickering...

If is use for example the FEDEX SF version, flickering keeps going for minutes continuously,...

Please help.

Exacty. Not the "VC Passenger cabin"

Most likely your system cant handle the freighter's UHD VC textures.
Try to disable (rename):
cs754_T01_T.dds
cs754_T02_T.dds
cs754_T03_T.dds
in ...\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B757-200PF-III_PW2037\texture\ folder.
