Have a look at this thread:

I had that same exact problem and got rid of it by using nVidias STUDIO driver, instead of the “Game Ready” one.

Forum user swissy777 got it fixed “by clicking on restore in the Nvidea control panel under global”.

Thanks for the help, looks like none of the options worked for me

Getting the same on xboxX landed HU Albatross on a lake near Split/Zagreb area, and black flicking in cockpit.
External view (whilst on water surface) same as above screens.

Once back in C/P touch off and was back to normal once on the air.

I am getting the same as above, no world map, no graphics in flight modes. After install, the sim has menus. As soon as you exit and restart, it just goes to a black screen.

Fresh install, never had any games on the PC

Sim was working great, had 35 hours without a single hiccup. Started acting up seamingly out of nowhere.

I have spent the better part of 3 days trying all the fixes I could find to no avail.

i9-12900K cpu
64 gb ram
AMD RX7900 xtx video
100mbps ethernet
qty 2 - 1TB SSD cards

Dear All, I’m on pc and on SU3 and just today when I load the sim I’m not getting the world map appear and I even just did a fresh install just in case and does anyone have any ideas please? It had been working fine so no idea what could have happened. I tried it on my Xbox and everything is fine. Thanks in advance

Managed to fix it by uninstalling the Nvidia graphics driver and installing again thankfully!

I just got home after being away for a week. I don’t see any official notice that SU3 has been released. When I launch the sim today will I see an SU3 update?

JohnBrace · July 26, 2025, 3:35pm

I’m in the Beta and sorry for not being specific and I knew it could not be Beta related hence posting here

DementedCorn327 · July 26, 2025, 4:11pm

SU3 is still in beta state so you’ll not see it when launching the sim today. During last Developer Livestream July 29th was mentioned as the tentative date for release but without any guarantee.

Hello
I have the same issue, but it is not resolved by reinstalling the NVIDIA driver. I also restartet the sim, deleted the community folder contents, restarted Windows, and also clean reinstalled the Sim. But the problem stays. Everything except the UI is black. Through the opacity of the windows, there is the world map and the sim, but that’s it. Even if I spawn in a PLane, all stays black.
