Pixelated Clouds after update

Yesterday I made a flight from Belfast EGAA to East Midlands EGNX. Aircraft, Fenix A320. The time of landing 16.45. Cloud base 1200’ overcast/dense patch.
As I was decending I flew through overcast into patchy and I was very surpised that the clouds in the area where badly pixelated.

This is the first time I have seen clouds like this, and I was to busy to take screen shots. I am wondering if any of you have experienced the same since the recent update.

Live Weather
Cloud setting Ultra
Balanced High performance system.

I’ve noticed that too. It isn’t constant and it’s not easy to reproduce, it’s a hit or miss. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t.

I wasn’t able to pinpoint it to a specific situation because it’s not scenary specific, nor environmental specific. But I can confirm the issue is there. It looks like a combination of some antialiasing issue with something else, but I can’t ensure.

I haven’t tried ther antialiasing settings since I always use TAA, but if you can (I don’t have my computer available right now and most probably for the next couple of days) try with other anti aliasing method to see if you still see the issue (so that we can link the issue with antialiasing, in case the issue is there).

I’m not sure either if this has any relation with streaming the whole scenery (there are also issues withh textures loading, where it’s a hit or miss, but I doubt cloud generation is related to this).
