Well I didn’t think it was needed to add more as it is all shadows including inside the cockpit and it is on all cameras/views. It was being discussed on another SU4 beta thread but it needs its own report.

Video too large to upload - here is the dropbox link Dropbox

Thank you for posting the video, it helps a lot. For me it is to be the same issue than reported in the link I posted above and not a SU4 regression:

I concur - easiest way to verify:

  • view the same area from drone camera
  • View the same area with external camera but with ray traced shadows enabled

Doing either one of those (but necessarily at the same time but you can try that as well) will fix the aircraft shadows if the issue is the same as the other.

I don’t think it is the same as it wasn’t around before the last build or at least I didn’t notice it. It also happens on shadows inside the aircraft.

Unfortunately I have reverted to SU3 this morning but if needed I can install SU4 again and try and capture a video of it happening in the cockpit?

Hello, same problem happening for me. (Just installed SU4 beta)

Since you are in SU3, can you record the same video (aircraft/location/camera movement) as you did in SU4 so that we can compare ?
As per the link that contains a video reposted by @TenPatrol, the exact same issue happens in the Live version.

The pink flickering of shadows already has its own thread here:

Current workaround is written there as well - NVidia driver 577.00 doesn’t have that issue, but it was introduced in the last SU4 Beta update.

Morning!

I have been swopping back and forth between SU3 and SU4 and while it is in SU3 it is much more pronounced in SU4
