ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: I’m using a Quest 3, DLSS on Quality, and AMD Sharpening @ 80. At or about dusk I’m seeing what appears to be flashes of light in a random pattern when looking out of either side window. I don’t see any flashes through the windshield. Out of the pilots side there are many flashes, 5-7 at any point in time. On the right side window I only see about 2-3. This is in the current SU2 Beta flying the DH Beaver 2.

There was a thread about this issue, although it related to FS2020. You might want to have a look and note the 3rd and 4th posts which list bloom and sharpening respectively as causes:

DX12 white flashes

When using DX12 I get brief white flashes in the headset (Reverb G2), with DX11 its fine. Also with certain 3rd party scenery the ground flashes randomly in small individual square type of shapes, this is replicated on the monitor twin VR view. I’ve tried different drivers, settings etc but its always present with DX12. Even tried not overclocking/overclocking more and nothing seems to make any difference to the problem. I’d like to use DX12 because its a lot smoother than 11 but the glitches/…

This has been an issue in FS24 since launch and looks to be caused the reflection angle of low sunlight on ground objects on the cockpit windscreens. The cubemap used in the sim is really low resolution making these reflections look very poor and bloomy-like big pixels that pop in and out of existence.

Going into the UserCfg.opt file and changing the ReflectionProbe value to something larger like 1024 or higher makes these reflections look correct BUT at a larger performance cost.

A better solution is needed for this as it wasn’t an issue in FS20.
