Blue shimmering on the horizon

Anybody else having this?
It’s hard to see on the picture below but when playing you can clearly see it on the horizon.

I can confirm this behaviour, no idea why though!

Had same weird behaviour but in GREEN! D:

I believe it’s lightning… I had it in bright white though… looks amazing…

Distant thunder clouds (I think).

same here, not very convinced.

It’s definitely not lightning. It’s moves as the plane moves.

I’ve seen a few different artifacts on the far horizon, including this blue shimmer.

My favorite were water colored wedges, moving right to left across the horizon like a series of giant waves. Given the distance, they would have been massive. They seemed to be a side effect of clouds moving in the same direction at low altitudes.

Not exactly the greatest thing for immersion, lol.

It only seems to be in one part of the sky and is usually green for me.

Yep I have seen it too. It happens for me in cloudy conditions and looks like the clouds rendering is just breaking down a bit on the horizon. I notice that bright blue bit gets bigger and smaller as the cockpit goes up and down.

Yep same here!

same here.

Me too.

I initially thought that it might have been caused by viewing the horizon through the spinning prop, but it is definitely still visible when not behind the prop.

It looks blue to me and moves from side to side, without any apparent natural cause.

I think it only happens with a weather preset, not live weather.
It’s probably because a weather preset makes the weather everywhere the same, up until the horizon.
Maybe it is caused by the lowest cloud layer being totally uniform in every direction, producing some sort of pattern that creates something like a moire effect.

No it happens with Live weather too.

Same issue here.

Ok, but then real is probably also very uniform in that current situation.
I still think it is kind of a moire effect.

Hard to say. To me it looked like the clouds were just not quite meeting the land/water on the horizon and blue sky was creeping in and out of the rendered image.

It seems to be the same affect i sometimes see coming off other player planes.


Am curious as to what it is. If you zoom in its like little moving arrows.
