P3Dv5HF1 Menu Flickers in Windowed Mode

[ark1320]

Periodically with P3Dv5HF1 when in Window Mode some of the labels ( World, Options, Views, Tools, etc) in the menu bar flicker as if the menu bar display is being updated. I see this even just sitting on the runway with both default and payware aircraft, and the sim/aircraft display itself does not flicker in any way. It is very irritating, and also seems to interfere with simconnect window displays such as when using Lua scripts. Others have reported this menu flicker problem as well on the AVSIM Prepar3d forum.

I've determined the menu flicker rate is proportional to FPS.

When I have FPS locked at 30 in the sim I get the menu flicker about every 11.6 seconds. If I lock the FPS at 60 and use a default a/c so I can get about 60 FPS on average, the menu flickers about every 5.7 seconds. If I lock the FPS at 15, the menu flickers about every 22.8 seconds.

So double the FPS and the flicker rate doubles; half the FPS and the flicker rate is half.

I have VSYNC and TB off.

Thanks,
Al
