VFR/IFR world map flashes in G1000 in FS2024

Charts Virtual Cockpit Integrations
1

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.

Technical information:

  • Windows 11 Pro 21H2
  • Intel(R) Core™ i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz
  • Nvidia GTX 1080
  • 32GB RAM
  • MSFS2024 Premium Deluxe, SU1, via Steam
    • Developer mode off
    • Tested in the COWS DA40XLS version 1.0.3 (current)
    • Glass Cockpit refresh rate set to High (also tested Medium)
    • Monitor is running at 1080p, 120Hz (also tested 60Hz)
  • Navigraph Hub versions:

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

Additional info that might be useful:

  • The EFB Charts app works completely fine on all modes
  • Testing 60Hz monitor refresh rate and Glass Cockpit refresh rate of medium had no effect
  • I do not appear to have the Charts Desktop app installed currently, if it matters

Please confirm you have the Avionics Plugin G1000 v 2.0.0 installed:

Hi Ian, it’s installed as shown in the screenshot I shared in my original post. Should I remove and reinstall it?

Why not, to be sure.

Unfortunately, that didn’t help. However I now notice that I’m getting weird subtle flashing even without opening the navigraph page when I hover over the softkeys. I think this is a WT/Asobo issue that happens to impact Navigraph. I’ll report back if I figure anything out.

i have same issue on same plane and C172 G1000 too.. but little bit lower blinking. Charts is ok.

Same issue. My computer clock is fine. This seems to be a problem for many people.

This is news to me! The flashing began with MSFS 2024, as has been documented on the MSFS forums by other developers with similar map integrations :thinking: Do you currently see flashing in MSFS 2020?

I cannot reproduce any of the reported issues despite following your steps. Would you be able to try SU2 to see if the result changes at all?

Kind Regards,
Malte

Yes, my flashing is in flight sim 2020.

You are the first to report this for 2020. This topic is dedicated to 2024, which has a well-known related issue. Please create a new topic dedicated to 2020, and include more details! Preferably a video showing the phenomenon.

We’re not able to reproduce the issue at the moment, so any details would be appreciated!
