There was also the guy who was asked why he kept on banging his head against the wall. He answered that it felt great when he stopped.
I keep getting clear answers to questions I have made complicated. Thanks Nick. I dropped the resolution from 3084 to 3072 and the flickering completely stopped. I changed all sorts of settings, aircrafts and airports on the fly, and the game remained absolutely stable. Also the game smoothed out and I was able to push the sliders up to Dense and Dense, Very Dense starts the microstutters that began much earlier before but would also quite frankly be seen as acceptable to most of us. Certainly it is not as sharp, but the flying pleasure has gone vertical. I am flying on water at 2x and if I cut it back I might get very dense and very dense. I thought I might be able to get my second screen back, but although the flickers are not as drastic as on the higher resolution, it is still unuseable. Roll on SP1x2.
Also with my capacity to make simple things hard, the landclass I installed then started to give me an error message that it couldn't locate the source folder. So out of frustration I dropped the Australian bgls into the addon scenery\scenery folder and voila it works. I will try the US bgls tonight. One question, both seasons files have the same name - I assume they both do exactly the same job?
Incidentally has anyone tried the instant scenery utility from Flight 1. It sounds simpler than conventional scenery making, but for me even the simple can be too hard. I'd be glad if anyone could give me feedback. I could then put some high-rise onto southeast Queensland beaches.
Thanks again Nick: flightsim is all about banging your head against a wall - it feels great when you select Control+C.
