Brief description and location of the issue: I just started noticing in the San Francisco area when my aircraft shadow goes across mountainous terrain I’m getting these strange black artifacts that pop-in around my aircraft shadow. In the particular area of the video I can keep flying over the same spot and it will always do it, sometimes worse than others. I’m wondering if anyone else noticed this or does this look to be a hardware problem? I’m on xbox series x.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered: So far it seems to happen over mountainous areas. In my case specifically San Francisco area.

No one has any ideas what this might be? I cleared the rolling cache, restarted the game, no fix. I’m wondering if this might be something unique to the series x or maybe a sign of hardware failure.

The black artifacts you have on series X does also appear on series S. Also on S there is black ground flashes when you fly.
