ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
When I taxi or take off, and I’m in the outside view, the shadow is constantly flickering and has “holes” in it. However, it is dependent on the zoom and the angle.
BTW, there is no difference if FG is ON or OFF
DLSS is always off (I use TAA instead)

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
No difference with and without mods.

Your graphics card supports Raytraced Shadows. Try enabling it.
I only saw a 2-3 FPS loss (53 down to 50 at worst) with my 3090 Ti using mostly Ultra settings. Obviously I don’t use frame gen, so if that’s the cause then RT may not help. I use DLSS Quality, not TAA, as the latter hits my FPS hard, without any quality improvement.

it (raytraced shadows) is enabled ^^

I don’t understand. Your 4080 supports it.

Yeah, also don’t understand it…
Also tried it with the raytracing shadows off, no difference :frowning:
