For me this happens only with foveated rendering on. I can see the FR square is darker for a few seconds then the surrounding clouds.

Yes, with foveated rendering on I can see the square (I think it appears sooner than 45 degrees from center when moving your head left or right). Without foveated rendering, I see what I described in the initial post.

I’m also seeing this but only with certain aircraft. B737 MAX is one that does it.
Foveated Rendering on & flying through dense clouds.
I have a Pimax Crystal Light.

This bug has been reported about 2 months ago in the early su2 beta. Still they released su2 with this bug. Still present with su3 beta. I mean the feature is unusable. Can’t they do anything right???

It is again related to this strange eye adaptation thingy. They should make an option to disable it.
