Same setup 3 monitors only happens on the ground when I get near trees than the screen flickers with bright white flashes. I have latest graphics drivers, RTX 4090, MSFS 2024. Windows PC. If you move away from the trees it stops flashing. So not sure what setting would help this. I’ve been experimenting turning things off and haven’t found a solution yet.

Changing anti-aliasing settings might help.

I have absolutely the same problem on RTX 3060ti.
Changing of antialiasing setup (including switching it off) did not help at all.

Exactly the same problem here. 3 monitors, 4080 super, 5800x3d.

I have experimented with different graphics settings, quality, TAA/DLSS… same problem persists.
After I remove the two additional monitors, no flickering anymore. Recreating even one extra window brings the same problem back.

Same problem here. It seems to happen only when at an airport and the vegetation is a certain size or LOD. Once you’re up in the air, the problem goes away.

Changing AA modes did not work. I tried TAA and FSR 2.0 on my Radeon 7900 XT and the problem persisted.

Problem happens inside and outside of the planes. This was not happening in MSFS 2020.
