@FSLPlaysYT
Thanks for this report. You mention two issues:

• Texture Popping
• Screen Flickering.

Screen Flickering

The flickering may be the same as reported here:

Consistent flickering in the sim

1 tag is required - add them in the tag section next to the title above: One for platform (ms-store, steam, xbox , or xcloud) One for aircraft if related (start typing in your aircraft name in the tag section and pick correct option) Feel free to delete this quote section after adding your appropriate tags.

So if others are experiencing this, please report in that topic rather than this one, following the instructions of the CM:

Consistent flickering in the sim

Hi folks, For those of you experiencing this issue, can you check if your your graphics options are configured to use the combination of Nvidia DLSS for antialiasing and AMD FSR3 for Frame Generation? If so, that is a previously-reported issue being discussed in this thread: If you are not using the DLSS+FSR3 combo, please share screenshots of your graphics options clearly showing all your settings in this topic. Thanks, MSFS Team

Texture Popping

Texture popping has been reported previously in SU4, e.g.:

[1.6.3.0] SU4 Beta Survey - Performance (Xbox)

Second flight completed, this time using the A350 from default LIRF to inibuilds EGLL. Same settings. Taxi and departure out of Rome was the smoothest I’ve ever had in the A350. Flight was perfect. Approach and landing were awful. Constant ground textures popping and 2 second stutters every 10 seconds or so. Could it just be the A350? Could it be inibuilds Heathrow coupled with London modelled buildings despite not PG? Could it be both… who knows. Will try the A350 elsewhere to compare but th…

It would help if you could take another video specifically of Texture Popping to see if this is a regression of previous Texture Popping issues that have been fixed, or a new issue specific to SU4 and/or this .13 build.

For now, I’ll leave this topic in Sim Update 4 Beta | MSFS 2024 > External 3rd Party Products but will likely move if we get more reports of Texture Popping under different scenarios posted here.

Thanks!

Edit: A new topic has been created about popping:

Satellite imagery popping tiles are back in beta 1.6.13.0

The popping scenery tiles bug seems to be back in the latest beta build 1.6.13.0. This was an old bug back from FS2020 that was fixed before. There is a circle of tiles that appears as the camera or plane is moving over the scenery. From my testing, it only happens all over Japan in areas without PG and also around Shanghai. Have not noticed it anywhere else so far. Clip of the issue taken around Shanghai : Watch SU4Beta popping tiles | Streamable

If a few more users post reporting the same, I’ll close this topic and ask folks to continue to report flickering / popping issues in the two topics linked above.
