Do you have any liveries that are not base sim content?

No. Only from the MS 2020. I dont because of possible problems

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the coloured glass like that, but pink planes I’ve definitely seen, and its always been livery related. In my last case it was where I had modded a default plane incorrectly, and it couldn’t find its liveries, so not an addon but for certain livery related.

I have not downloaded any third party app or add ons. Just basic stuff from the menu . I hope I dont have to do a complete reload of the Programe again. Any way around it I wonder?

I am experiencing this from a day 1 fresh install. I am just dabbling in it to see if I want to really give it a go.

Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?
No

Have you disabled/removed all your mods and addons?
No mods or addons. Clean install

Brief description of the issue: Checkered colors on my cockpit windows and partly on the plane outside.

This happened on a clean install. I have rebooted, changed graphic options (disable TAA, switched to other AA methods, turned off all AA methods, changed the number of monitors etc.), I downgraded to 466.77 (or whatever the last nVidia driver that was said to have been good and still had the issue. I performed a clean install of the game and kept the old video driver. Currently went back to 531.41 nVidia driver.

It’s on most planes. I can use the DC3 and Airbus 310 without issue in the “free flight” mode. The problem is I am new to the game, and I need to do the tutorials and they all have the issue.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600

I’m having this same exact issue and can’t find it anywhere. Any update for you?

I have not downloaded any third party app or add ons. Just basic stuff from the menu .

Well I bit the bullet and just did a new installation which on hind sight was the best thing to do. Didnt take too long and its said its good to do a fresh installation after lots of updates. Otherwise I could have spent a lot of time chasing a solution which may have never come.
I didnt get any good feed back to what causes the problem but good luck with it

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

Same problem. have tried Steam file verification and uninstall/reinstall.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

Same problem checkerboard on all windows including windscreen and some aircraft surfaces. Initial steam deluxe install - no addons - downloaded both updates. Everything else appears to work just fine except free flight.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

Yes, just installed the game for the first time. Downloaded no 3rd party updates.

Can’t see out of cockpit. Vehicles have a checkered pink pattern

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

I just bought the game and installed with without any add-ons, all vanilla state.

I too encountered similar issue when I was flying on A320neo and I tested with other aircraft like Cessna. The checkered color box is covering the cockpit glass and plane outside. But when camera set to exterior view, the surroundings are fine.

Hoping for a solution as well.

We have created a topic on how to fix this issue:

I have completed every tips you made. it is still there.
Can you help me?

If you are using DX12 try DX11 to see if that helps.

I am having exacty the same problem right after installation and mandatory updates. Bought from Steam. No addons installed.

Just reinstalled Longitude with EMPTY Community folder. Nada - still the problem. Uninstalled Premium Upgrade. Reinstalled. Exact same problem.

I have MOST of my issues with Microsoft Menus and Handling. Period.
It’s not a Bug, it’s a Feature! /sigh
