To provide more feedback -
I've had some interesting experiences as of late. First, I've spent a decent chunk of change on the Orbx sale, and for some reason I get better fps since using their region packs (not sure why that is, since the graphics are infinitely nicer looking and more realistic). Throughout various flying experiences since adding these packs, I've noticed the black flicker is not necessarily dependent on frame rate. Usually, as my frame rate gets close to 30 or so, the flicker begins happening. But oddly enough, I experienced the black flicker the other day even though my framerate was up in the 70's. Really odd.
Then, I was flying somewhere (don't remember where), and my framerate dropped down to 17. And no flickering, none at all. It was really weird, because I hadn't experienced low frame rate with FI before without the black flicker. I checked the fps panel and couldn't believe what I was seeing (expecting black flicker at or below 30 fps).
Really weird stuff. Seems like it is usually directly related to fps, but my above experiences suggest it may be something else. Anyways, hopefully this info is somewhat useful in your troubleshooting. It really is an incredible experience, and now with several Orbx regions, the places I'm flying look almost identical to their real life counterparts, even with so many of the settings turned down. Easily my favorite experience in VR so far, good luck Dan!
