I searched until I found the fix for this issue, which others are having a lot of issues with, including changing every possible computer setting other than the Games video settings.
The issue is on non-native aircraft, getting white-out screens in various views, sometimes it will dissapear and come back, sometimes it will not, VERY annoying to say the least.
The fix, VERY easy. Graphics settings, Turn OFF Light-Bloom. Done, Finite.
No, you do not need to change FSX CPU priority, lower video settings lower, change resolutions or anything else, just uncheck that ONE box.
Note that there is also another issue with the cockpit tool-tips causing this as well, so uncheck both if you still have issues after doing the above.
Good Luck and Happy Flying!

Glad my low ranking blogs helped someone. I searched for days to find this setting buried in some off the wall site in no-mans-land.
And yes.. Always disconnect the PSU before attempting repairs/re-seating cards/etc guys

Thanks for the fix for this problem.
Like you say, i looked high & low for the answer before this.
I even wrecked a motherboard thinking it could be my graphics card connections & ended up causing a short circuit (don’t ask).
(take note nubes! never mess with motherboard connections with power turned on!:))

Turn ”Light Bloom” off from settings, IT WILL WORK!!
