We use the simattachment for the tablet EFB in FS24, just via attachments.cfg and a node. When the user hides the tablet or pops it out using the toolbar, sometimes the visual model flickers in and out of visibility.
Started happening since the release of SU4, persists with SU5. Primarily seen it in the Miltech Simulations MH60, not sure if it has occurred on other aircraft.
Unfortunately I’ve been unable to catch it on video as it happens at random, doesn’t seem to be easily replicable.
I am getting the same problem, it seems that the tablet has its own visibility variable. I will try this on Tuesday: EFB.xml
A bit more feedback to this subject: the EFB seems to have its own visibility variable as shown in the SDK link I posted earlier and we should be able to set it and work around the “flickering”.
There is a more fundamental problem, though. In my case, the EFB is attached to a dummy node and I am showing/hiding the dummy node, without setting the EFB visibility variable. Yet it flickers.
What this tells me is that even though the parent node is hidden, the EFB still wants to show itself and doesn’t respect the Parent>Child hierarchy. This bug may also affect other items that depend on their parents’ visibility, such as external clickspots to hide preflight items.
