REPORT THIS ON Zendesk or Asobo will NEVER FIX THE BUG THEY CREATED!
Hi everyone
Just found this forum while searching for the blinking clouds problem.
And yes, the workaround helped for me too.
Thank you
Peter

Watch the next DEVELOPER’S UPDATE livestresm (when they get the nerve to make another) and ask them!!
It doesn’t work. Only clear sky after this

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is related to them preparing for the move to DX12, which will be needed for the xbox release.
Real shame though, I have a friend with a 750ti who now has this problem - doubt we’ll be flying together much any more

Please vote Bring back Clouds previous to update 5.
Good idea BadOldBuzzard will aim to catch the next developer update - might not be easy being on Australian time but might be lucky.
Thanks!
Hey ttomi1981,
I am having the same issues you described above, same card too.
I found that the glitch only occurs after I Alt-esc out of flight simulator, and return to the game. If I launch the game and stay in it, the glitch does not occur.
Hopefully this helps narrow down the cause.
I always tab out of the game because of the very long loading times, so I decided to try your suggestion. Unfortunately I am still getting the same issue. Would be interesting to see if this works out for others though.
Just read through today’s development update and see no mention of the issue. I am not feeling very hopeful that this will be resolved. I will be following this thread and cross my fingers but for now I am heading back to the FSX skies. I will miss my NeoFly flights but can return to Air Hauler. I could buy a new card for what I spent on the Premium edition and market addons! Good luck to all and thanks.
I am ultimately hopeful for an RTX3070 FE from Nvidia. Took a risk and ordered an EVGA GTX 1660 TI SC from Amazon that can be returned for refund anytime before 1/31/2021 AND once you process the return, you have a few weeks before it has to show up at Amazon. Hoping by mid-February can site my desired card!! I can’t/won’t go back to
X- Plane 11.

I don’t think it’s VRAM related. I get the problem on my Titan Black card with 6GB VRAM.

Thank you so much -this worked for me! I have a 780 Ti card and had no issues with clouds before Update 5. I was running render scaling 100, changed it to 60 and saved, back to 100 and saved and no more flickering clouds. An excellent workaround.

This method removes the blinking clouds. But after that I have no clouds at all. GTX 780 ti here

I have gtx960m and after this the sky is clear too
Mesmo problema GTX 770
I think I found an even quicker, quick fix,. if the glitch begins when you press esc in game to get to the menu, return to the game but look away from the horizon, i.e. at the seat, and press esc again the flashing should disappear. It may take a couple of tries looking at different areas of the seat, but it does work.

I found a most excellent fix. I bought a GTX1660TI from Amazon. Is it my ultimate solution? NO! My ultimate solution is an RTX3070 FE. I can return the 1660TI any time before 1/31/2021. I’m blessed to have a friend who works for Nvidia. He has no interest in a graphics card… But, he’s willing to buy one for me… when they show up in the employee store. Timing wise it’s s bit of a gamble. On the bright side, with mostly Ultra settings, I’m getting pretty consistant low 30s fps, at 1440p, which is fine for me. AND, the clouds don’t flicker. Scenery looks MUCH better.
