ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
Since 1.6.22.0 I see strong flickering on the edges of cloud, best visible in the “few cloud” preset. It’s even worse in the world map when zoomed to a state where the clouds are starting to appear over the surface. I played around with frame generation, resolution scaling etc. didn’t make a difference.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
always
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- Set weather preset to “few clouds”
- got to world map
- zoom in till clouds start to appear, there will be a lot of small white flickering boxes
- zoom in further (or start a flight) and observe edges of clouds, they shimmer/flicker strongly.

in the worlmap, this about the zoom level to see the flickering:
I see this too in VR as well. Especially the high level clouds, the thin layer, at a certain distance from your viewpoint, you see flickering of the cloud edges like they are clipped at a very low resolution. Looks not good and seems to be a regression compared to the .19 and .21 Build

I voted and agree. The funny(not funny)thing is that the night before .22 released I was absolutely blown away by how good the clouds were looking. I couldn’t get enough of flying in and around them. Then .22 dropped. Very, very disappointing.

These thin clouds at high altitude are affected by this. They are flickering like crazy.

Seeing this too. Not so beautiful at all
I have the same issue with flickering cloud edges, additionally there’s sometimes a regular grid visible on the semitransparent clouds.
We should give some more infos. I have an RTX4070 Ti Super, driver is 580.88.
Settings: DLSS 2x, Quality. Clouds on Ultra.
