4.3 HUD issues - blanks out on landings on some aircraft

sfm50 · Post by **sfm50** » Tue Oct 02, 2018 3:37 pm

I also don't see this problem in FSX, P3D 3.4 or P3D 4.2.. I only have the HUD issue in P3D 4.3 using my 1080ti with 11gb.

So if it's working correctly in 3.4 & 4.2 then some programming was done that affects the HUD in 4.3 for certain video cards and not ALL are affected which makes it difficult to pin down.

But it's definitely LMs job to pin it down and fix not, not Nvidias. Especially since this bug has been introduced with 4.3.
Except LM, no one else knows what has changed between 4.2 and 4.3....
Maybe the problem will be gone with 4.4 and PBR ;)

How many pilots are reporting this problem in this forum post?

What's the point of asking this question? You don't know how many users are posting in, or are reading this forum, you don't know how many users are using planes with HUDs, you don't know how many users don't care. etc.
Fact is this problem hasn't been there with 4.2 and I don't understand how you get to the conclusion that this is a faulty GPU problem.

I looked back to see how many pilots are reporting this problem in this forum post?

I see two pilots:
sfm50 and 105OE

And on 9-1-18 sfm50 replied:
"I swapped out video cards and put in my old evga GTX 980 with 4GB Video memory and that FIXED the problem with the HUD blanking out on landings in P3DV4.3. Not REALLY a solution since I like my 1080ti (11gb)."

Fixing by exchanging a new GPU with on old GPU? You can't seriously consider this a fix, especially since P3Dv4.3 is a brand new software.

Hello,

Are you seeing this issue with the latest Nvidia drivers? When swapping from a 9 series card to a 10 series card did you try uninstalling the device first?

Hi Rob,

Thanx for your reply. I didn't have to change the graphics card because I bought the PC with the 1070 for P3D :)
Just installed the 411.70 drivers, clean install, reboot....unfortunately there's no change.

I just Installed Nvidia 111.70 [driver only] (GTX960), P3Dv4.3, Win7-64.
Tested using default P3D IRIS F22.

HUD OK during flight, on landing touchdown/rollout.

After rollout I turned onto the grass and all ok off the runway surface.

I too screenshots if needed.

Are you using any camera utilities like TrackIR and/or ChasePlane? You might just be seeing acceleration /deceleration effects which change your eyepoint and cause the HUD to disappear.

No. Just a clean P3D installation without any add-ons.

update: since I'm curious I've tried now all combination of graphics options available in the P3D graphics menu.

This took quite some time and the problem didn't go away with any setting.

I too have this issue with truncated lower HUD on landing.

Diving vertically towards the ground also makes the HUD disappear, this reduces with altitude unless the nose it put forwards.

But it not only affects HUDs, it also affects propeller animation, with a clear truncation point about 15 degrees below the horizon from line of sight.

Also seen this question asked on the FlyInside forum as I am using VR

That's unfortunately confirmed as well.

I too have this, though I discovered it from trying to figure out why there is a bright circle around aircraft at some grass runway airports. I used the default F22 to be safe, and noticed the HUD was also being cut.

Then I decided to change the runway surface of this default airport (27W) from grass to Ashphalt, and strangely everything works fine. The terrain only causes the issue when the runway is grass. See the images

So I wonder if it is to do with certain textures, and those losing the HUD diving, are aiming at the problem textures, like airport grass?
