Currently have F14, F15, A6, 777, F104, DR400, PC-9, and Ercoupe installed with no menu flickering. Not sure, but probably used the F14, which has since been updated. Don't recall running the 172 while my menus were flickering. It might be worth disconnecting your personal hanger, uninstalling all the add-on aircraft, restarting, and then running the 172 to see if the flashing quits. Speculate problem was caused by an aircraft The only thing I can attribute it to is that I did a lot of installing, uninstalling, and updating of aircraft. Initially blamed the box, but at some point the flashing completely disappeared. Had similar problem with menus flashing like Christmas tree lights on an AMD 8 with Radeon 5 on board graphics laptop, which was a Dell purchased so that you can easily close/reopen the menubar while developing/extending its functionality (that also applies to the popups shown, which are using the technique used by the tooltips):Īs can be seen, what is primarily missing is looking up the correct xml tags (Nasal hash keys) and using those to look up the localized string - all of which Nasal can do readily. Regarding the screenshots shown below, those are using the window decoration for troubleshooting/development purposes - i.e. there are no missing widgets/features at all if I remember correctly.Īs far as I can tell, the original code is still there - but it's just a protoype that lacks features, which should still be easy enough to add.įortunately, the PUI menubar is rather archaic, so it would be pretty straightforward to take that code and add missing bits. I wasn't aware of that - and as a matter of fact, the menubar can be implemented "as is", i.e. Thorsten wrote in Sun 1:51 pm:For some users, the flickering is so bad the menu is unusable - so even a hackish solution is better in these cases. So my assertion is that it's of little use in its current form if people are not also able and willing to tinker with the underlying FlightGear scripts to make it work for cases not implemented, which means that it's up to aircraft/fgdata developers to either adopt/extend the system or just leave it in its current form, and as long as that's the case, it won't be too useful for end-users wanting a functional non PUI-UI Also, if you search the forum for pui2canvas, you'll get an experiments script which renders (parts of) the dialogs as canvas widgets which do not suffer from this problem.Īs far as I am aware the pui2canvas parser does not currently handle the menubar, which is something that Jabberwocky was originally working on a long time ago - also, the dialogs it renders need to be using a subset of PUI/XML using a handful of widgets and layouting primitives - so for the time being, it's not a suitable replacement for PUI for people not sufficiently familiar with Nasal and Canvas to extend the system for the features currently not implemented (i.e. Thorsten wrote in Sun 10:16 am:There's been a few tricks around to mitigate the problem - changing to a different gui style for instance seems to help. Note: If you did not get a reponse, even after 7 days, you may want to check out the FlightGear mailing lists to ask your question there. If you are seeing corrupted/broken textures, please see this article. To run FlightGear on old computers with bad OpenGL support, please take a look at this wiki article. If you experience FlightGear crashes, please report a bug using the issue tracker (can be also used for feature requests). please upload a screenshot of the problem. copy&paste your commandline (tick the "Show commandline box on the last page of FGRun or the "Others" section on the Mac launcher). is there any output printed to the console (black window)? does the problem occur with any aircraft, at any airport? what OS (Windows Xp/Vista, Mac etc.) are you running? Make sure to include answers to at least the following questions in your initial post. ![]() In order to help you, we need to know a lot of information.
