It's a Google Photos share but that's not the point. The red text in the right upper corner is blinking all the time for the full duration of the flight. That's the issue. Why is this happening?

What are the values after the equal sign in

InfoUpperRightTextColor

Mine are 255,0,0 and my text is not blinking.

Damn, I thought I was on to something here... so the blinking is controlled from - somewhere else....

I took this snippet from the [DISPLAY] section of my v. 4.5 HF3 Prepar3D.cfg:

FullScreenBackground=True
FullScreenAutoFill=True
ActiveWindowTitleTextColor=255,255,255
ActiveWindowTitleBackGroundColor=0,28,140,64
NonActiveWindowTitleTextColor=255,255,255
NonActiveWindowTitleBackGroundColor=24,33,87,64
InfoUpperLeftTextColorUser=255,0,0
InfoUpperLeftTextColorNonUser=255,127,0
InfoUpperLeftBackGroundColor=0,0,0,0
InfoUpperRightTextColor=255,0,0
InfoUpperRightBackGroundColor=0,0,0,0
InfoLowerLeftTextColor=255,255,255
InfoLowerLeftBackGroundColor=255,0,0,128
InfoLowerRightTextColor=255,255,255
InfoLowerRightBackGroundColor=255,0,0,128
InfoBrakesEnable=True
InfoParkingBrakesEnable=True
InfoPauseEnable=True
InfoSlewEnable=True
InfoStallEnable=True
InfoOverspeedEnable=True
InfoWeaponSystemEnable=True
InfoCountermeasureEnable=True
InfoUpperRightTextEnable=True
Fullscreen=False


I would imagine (but sometimes my imagination isn't too good) that what we are looking for would be in there somehow...

P3D v4.5 HF3.
The text shows ChasePlane in use.

Can ChasePlane be disabled for a quick test?
Is ChasePlane updated for P3Dv4.5 HF3?

It's not because it happens with clean prepar3d.cfg also.
