Background:
In my experience with any G1000 aircraft in FS2024, though I feel that I experienced this in FS2020 as well, the IFR/VFR map page is very prone to intense flashing if the map is moved at all. The same flashing occurs when I try to authenticate the app.

Scenarios:
-
Given I am in the DA40XLS by COWS in MSFS2024, or any WT G1000 aircraft
- When I use the FMS knob to move the “VFR/IFR maps”
- If the aircraft is not currently authenticated with Navigraph
- When I authenticate through Navigraph
- Then the page flashes between two screens rapidly (Link Navigraph Account and WPT Airport Chart)
- And moving the FMS knob counter-clockwise and back brings me back to the same flashing page
- If the aircraft is currently authenticated with Navigraph
- And I navigate to the IFR/VFR charts page
- Then the maps display correctly only when the aircraft is static and I have not touched the sreen
- And if I touch the screen at all to move the map around
- Then the maps flash again
-
Given I have the EFB open
- Then the IFR/VFR map goes black but flashes if I hover over any of the EFB’s buttons, or the FMS buttoms/knobs
- And dragging the map and waiting a second causes the map to appear again normally until moved again at which point it starts flashing again
