Good evening all. Has anyone experienced the issue of shadows flickering (see the video, right side)? It’s been occurring for quite a long time and after flying a beautiful sunset like this, I figured it was time to ask…
What setting will fix this? Thanks much!
Happens with or without addons in community folder.
No dev mode enabled.
Attached video of the flickering issue.
Always there during certain times of the day.
3700X, 3080, 32GB 3200, All SSD.
466.77 Driver but this was happening on previous ones as well.
MS Store version.
Happens since day one.
No matter what settings I choose this is always there.
Same flight, different sun location.
same issue for me this shadow flickering was since sim update 2
I read somewhere that dx12 will fix this (dont quote me me on it though) some airports do the same thing with flickering textures at distance.
Bumping. This issue is annoying the hell out of me
Anyone found somewhat of a solution to this?
I’m posting this because I haven’t found any threads with any helpful information at fixing this issue. When sunlight hits objects in the sim at a certain angle, I get horribly flickering shadows. Is there any way to fix this? It’s pretty distracting. I’ve tried what some people have mentioned by setting the shadows in cfg file to 4096 but it does nothing, it just resets to its default value of 2048 when starting the game, there’s actually no way to change the shadow size.
Here’s a video to show the flickering problem. Again, this happens in all planes.
This is a directx problem, there is no fix yet, directx12 might solve it in near future.
I have the same issue. Has anyone found a solution or work around?
I have the same Problem. hopefully dx 12 can solve this issue
Has anyone or is anyone still suffering the shadow or suncasting in internal ‘passenger’ view over wing/over engine against the internal plastic window fascia? when flying into the sun i get poor flickering on the panel, i assume is meant to be a moving shadow but is just a series of flickering greys/blacks.
Here is a video showing the issue

I was able to make the issue a lot less prevalent by increasing shadow resolution to 8192 as described here 4K (crisp cockpit-)shadows now possible! - MSFS (2020) Tips and Tricks Forum - The AVSIM Community
If you have a gtx 1070 or better, the performance hit is very negligible.
Is this something that is being worked on? It appears I have the same issue in the CJ4 (maybe?)
