Graphical glitches in Balkan theater
-
I was tasked to provide escort to a group of other strike aircraft and around target waypoint, I left my cockpit view to external view of my wingman to see what he was doing, on returning to my cockpit view, my hud symbologies were gone, DED data window gone, left MFD went blank, right MFD had faint symbologies and no fault or system failure display. I was flying at 33k altitude.
Turn back to head home after a while, Hud symbols returned incomplete in display and only right MFD was working.
Got to homeplate to land, runway turned green
Someone help me figure what is going on.
Pictures attached below.
Systems went blank
Some systems came back incomplete. Hud could not display full.
Airbase runway on landing.

Well give some more details.
You have the latest version of Balkans theater, means this one “Balkans_4.33.1b.zip”?
You were on online or single player offline?
In which airport you had that issue on landing?
Which block of F-16 you were flew?

Sorry guys for the limited info provided on these glitch. Been busy, would ve provided info earlier.
I was actually in a block 40 viper.
My airbase here is the Aviano airbase
I am really not sure of the Balkan version but the last time I downloaded, think is Balkan _4.33.1a
It was a single player offline flight.System specs
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Service Pack 1
Intel Core i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40GHz
System memory: 8GB
Graphic device: Radeon HD 6770 (2G dedicated)Been out of loop. Just getting to know there is a 1b version of Balkan 4.33.
Any download link please? -
Well I just made a check with no issues at all.
I flew an F-16CM-40, take off from Aviano airbase, top at 36,000 FT and then back to base for landing.
At flight, a lot of going outer view and then back to cockpit. Everything went normal and smooth.
I have windows 7 x64 with SP1, AMD R7 370 with Catalyst 15.7.1 x64.
Into Catalyst I have Anti-Aliasing at 4x, Anisotropic Filtering at 16x and Vertical Sync off. In BMS Multisampling, Qyality level 1, Vertical Sync off and all the Advanced Options checked (green).
I have BMS 4.33 U1 and Balkans theater “Balkans_4.33.1b.zip”. Download link here: http://www.thunderbolts56thvfw.com/Downloads/433/Theaters/Balkans_4.33.1b.zip
Do you have any other 3d party mod applied? If yes which one/ones? Which Catalyst do you have installed?
Delete your current Balkans if you have no campaign in progress and install a clean “Balkans_4.33.1b.zip”. Then try my settings in your Catalyst as also into BMS to see if you are fine.

A week ago i had nearly the same problem, but in vanilla 4.33.1. During a campaign flight i switched to an outside view for around 20 secs. As i switched back MFD’s, HUD and DED was lost and i couldn’t get them back on.
As i was just 30 nm away from my homeplate i aborted the mission and brought the bird back home, unfortunatly i had an tail strike when landing without HUD
-
And is it a reoccurring problem or a one off event ?
Personally I have never experienced or seen any thing quite like that.
I would suspect a memory data corruption or issue.

Nikos.That is a good verification flight Nestratiou. Such effort to check this issue out is applaudable.
Never had to experience that glitch before.
Now that you have mentioned 3rd party mod, it just occurred to me that I have Tomcatz cockpit mod installed.
That is another suspect for the glitch.
I will reinstall the stock cockpit and try same mission.
Thanks for the heads-up Neystratiou. -

Do you have any 3rd party mod installed when you experience this similar issue?

As i wrote, no 3rd party mods. Vanilla 4.33.1, stock Tiger Spirit Campaign on ACE.
