    Speedometer flickers

    Hi all, when I throttle up or down, the speedometer (see below) starts to flicker. Is this a bug or something?

    Maybe, but it also could be realism. I personally like it to see it. Sometimes it seems to coincide with wheel slip.

      Do you notice when this happens if the frame rate dips. Brian

        What actually flickers?
        Is it the whole speedo, the full digital readout, or the figures after the decimal point?

          The full digital readout and the figures after the decimal point <-- This is whenever I throttle up or down

          At times also when the fps dips.

            I wouldnt worry about it.The same thing happens to me at times when I am running scenery-intensive routes with many AI or loose consists.Your computer{like mine}might be a little underpowered. Brian

              Okay.
              Yep...I experience that too on most digital displays and just put it down to the possibility that the program is trying to update the decimal display on a very frequent basis.

              Either that or it's a loose connection in the speedo.

                  I get wheelslip EVERY time I go from Idle to N1 when all my air is released....not related to the speedo flicker.
