Description of the issue:

Artifacts around Draco X. When on the ground, you see symmetrical areas where vegetation is not visible. These areas move with the aircraft and follow it. Particularly visible on the ground on grassy terrain, but occurs on all terrains.

FREQUENY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Every time

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. land on a field with tall grass for example

  2. switch to outside view

  3. move forward at very low speed, the bare areas of the terrain follow the movement of the plane

Cannot replicate by maybe was not at a correct spot (57LS). I had grass set to ultra:

Could you provide the exact coordinates of a spot where you can replicate the issue ?

May be AMD GPU related ?

Could this be an element/layer of the 3D model that should have been deleted or configured differently.

Cannot replicate at the coordinates you’ve provided (grass on ultra):

My GPU is a nvidia RTX2060 so maybe issue is amd related ?
Hopefully some users with amd GPU could test at same location and report back.
