I just had an update from oculas. not sure if it was because I turned off PTC yesterday. just looked at version and it says 25. very odd .
mine still says v26 even after I turned off PTC, can you request the roll back by contacting Oculus?
Also the more I play in VR, the more I notice its the actual plane model that flashes, if you are outside in external view, the world terrain dont flash, its the plane that flashes. is this not MSFS issue more than Oculus? other games with V26 dont have this issue?

may be, yetserday it works fine, today bad.
The current nvidia driver can it not be, I tryed it with several older drivers.
my nvdia driver is ok i think, I dont want to tinker as everything else works bar MSFS. so annoying, for me it was flashing from day one of VR in MSFS.
Mine is still flashing a little at times but at least its playable again now. before it was flashing even on the home page.
I am now running Rift S with SteamVRā¦ no flashing white lights!!

How does it compare in other respects, such as performance, clarity etc?
Seems fine so far. Basic settings: Render Scaling @ 70; Anti-Aliasing @ TAA; Terrain Level of Detail @ 100. Also in SteamVR: Refresh Rate (Hz) @ 90; Motion Smoothing @ Off; Custom Resolution Multiplier @ 100%.

Can you bypass the oculus app with the quest 2 and just use steamvr? I donāt have the rift S.
Does one just download Steam VR and install ? Any bugs / conflicts with the Oculus app ?
Also, for those who have Track IR. try disabling it if you are running VR, in case the Infrared sensors of the Track IR on your monitor are causing conflicts in the Oculus Rift S head mounted sensors ? Maybe that is also contributing to the white flashes
Just a thought
Oculus pushed its new version v26.x as public release so now for me MSFS is really unplayable as I canāt go back to more stable v25.x by removing the Beta setting to eiliminate flashes and change in headset position. Now it happen tons of times per minutes and itās no way enjoyable.
I really hope, but Iām losing hope, oculus and MSFS Devs work together to fix this bug! For now back on the shelve and wait next Sim update, pffiiuuuu.

So Oculus must have moved the previous beta (26) into stable and, as usual, that is being gradually cascaded to all Oculus users.
Iām currently on the version 25 stable release, but it looks like it will just be a matter of time before all Oculus users are in the same position as yourself.
Although this does look like an Oculus issue, or at least one that they are going to have to address alongside Asobo, I am hoping that Sim update 3 will at least get MSFS to a playable state when version 26 lands on everyone.

Thanks for the video. This is effectively what we used to call āwhite flashā even if itās not really this.
Before posting last post I tested all combination. I confirm some are worse than other, but they still unplayable. The most stable is for me 45fps locked ASW OFF (CTRL+2) as I have āonlyā one violent flash each 2 to 3 seconds. Iām glad I donāt have any epilepsy problem.
If I unleash the beast (CTRL+1 = no fps lock no asw) my fps raise to around 60 and flash are several times per seconds (yes).
With locked 45FPS ASW ON (CTRL+3) flash happen nearly each seconds, and each 2 or 3 seconds with CTRL+4 asw on auto no fps lock.
In summary if I can lock the sim at one fps no asw pretty sure it will be rare 
Iām joking but Iām angry in fact, very angry as this problem come from the very beginning of VR with MSFS and itās getting worse and worse, and I donāt see any will to definitively fix it.
For me this simply signify the flash happen more often if you have more fps (asw on mean 90 fake frame), and less if you go down. Sound logical, but the bug still here.

Good luck with that! Oculus support is the pits.
Im crying inside as I cannot enjoy MSFS2020 until this gets fixed, I like to try Virtual desktop, but I dont want to be forced into buying the programme. I wish Oculus firmware update was not automatic, it auto downloads when you start the Oculus app and installs itselfā¦ I might have to give in and reset up my Valve index which has noticeable screen door effect.
does Asbo now this issue with Oculus users? I could not see it in the issues raised pageā¦
I must say I can turn the flash on and off at will. Not sure whats different about my set up but its totally playable. I get the flash maybe once a minute or so, nothing more.
I suspect i am not alone in submitting a zendesk ticket on this and i have received a couple of responses suggesting that they are investigating, but whether Asobo have registered it as a priority will probably depend upon how many they have received.
Therefore, for anyone suffering this issue, if you have yet to submit a zendesk ticket, then now might be a good time to do so.
I made this video (posted on private list, not public) just few minutes ago to show the current state on my machine. This is using last NVidia driver 461.71, but I tried also with 457.30, and last Oculus driver 26.1.0.41.502).
I tried and have to lower my fps to 30 to get it less often, I guess 18 will be also better. But NO! I want my fps at the maximum, this need to be fixed as itās not acceptable at all.
