Enable ray traced shadows and the issue is solved, looks like related to the shadow effects… ymmv (1.6.13.0)
Naa still flickers
Might be less frequent, but I have RT shadows enabled and still experience the issue as demonstrated above.
What is interesting, for me it is only happening on the ground. While taxiing and sitting at the gate I get these constants flashes even in the cockpit, but as soon as I’m airborne they go away and only come back once on the ground again.
Having the same flickering issue here
I have RT shadows enabled and see these flickers both on the ground and while in flight. It’s a very elusive bug as sometimes you experience it several times in a minute then no more for the rest of the flight. Then just when you think it’s stopped it will happen again. I cannot find a pattern except for maybe it is time of day dependent - I’ve not seen it at night but I must say I don’t have many night time hours. I’ve seen it in more than one aircraft type too but realised they are all props - has anyone seen it in a jet? (Maybe it’s related to prop animation).

Also see it in the air in a jet (Fenix), and in the air the whole screen tears/flickers when panning
Quick update: saw the flickering in the CJ jet so not related to prop animation. Also tried different time of day and flickering still seen.
Luckily I’m not the only one 
at first I thought my TV was broken. I was also just watching a livestream a minute ago, it was actually about the A340, but even there that extremely annoying flickering was happening. The version wasn’t mentioned though, but I’m assuming it was the current beta. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post the link here.
RT Shadows aren’t an option in VR. I might try some other shadow settings to see if it makes a difference though.

Still seeing the flickering with RT shadows on
Tested more and notice them to, only a lot less

After several more hours testing I’ve been unable to determine any pattern to this flickering. Different aircraft, different locations, different weather and different daytimes seem unimportant to when and how often it occurs. But with it being so infrequent and (apparently) random (sometimes a few flickers in a minute and then nothing for 10 minutes) it’s hard to make any connections between events. For me I mostly see it in the cockpit view but that’s maybe because I spend 99% of my time in that view.
Just to be clear if the devs are using this thread for additional information this is not a constant flicker like that which was seen with the now fixed FSR/DLSS bug but an occasional very subtle flicker which is just enough to catch your eye and be annoying. The video posted by @ToriDadriel encapsulates it well.
Edit: this video also
It is more frequent than I usually experience and for me it’s usually in the cockpit view.

Noticed it flying my A2A comanche, only since the latest beta. When I look out the side window I can see intermittent flickering on the wings, it looks to me like it’s very briefly changing the colour of the wing to a feint red and green and then back to white again.
Also occurs on the sun visors of the Comanche, after a few minutes of flying that stops but the wings remain flickery.
Also noticed the paintwork textures of my plane look less glossy than they did before.
I just bought a 5070ti and was working fine until SU4 update a couple says ago and now this texture flickering annoyance. Not sure if this is specific to 50 series cards, but doesn’t do this in msfs2020 or any other games, or in general. Just now with Msfs2024.
Not using DLSS or frame Gen. Set default to High End. Happens on third party and native aircraft and scenery. Updated drivers. Video board tests fine. I’m at a loss at this point.
I don’t think there’s anything you can do with drivers or settings etc.
I’m using a 5060ti and it was working fine before the latest beta. None of my settings have changed since the last version, (Windows, drivers or sim settings).
Just a newly introduced bug.
The flickering issue remains on every aircraft. Here’s a short video of the Asobo 737 MAX, the flickering in this build makes the sim nearly unplayable.
Tried everything, Even recorded this clip on the lowest settings, yet no luck.

I tried to reproduce it on my end on my system with my settings bellow, and also by trying to put the same settings as you have but I did not succeed. Also tried various situations (ini Heathrow, WU bilbabo, ini JFK ect in default 321neo and payware like the fenix 320) and at diverse time and weather, same result. Guess I’m the lucky one.

I’m also getting the flickering bug. I wonder if it’s a GPU driver issue.
what graphics driver are you currently on?
I’m on the latest nvidia driver 581.42 from a few days ago.
But I was on that driver before the latest beta and didn’t have the flickering then .
Still no fix?
