Cloud Shadow Strobing

[92 Sqn. Philstyle (QJ-P)]

Just noticed in the past week or so that sometimes the cloud shadow on the terrain flick on and off in a kind of strobe effects.

It's normally just one particular shadow that will do this, as opposed to the shadows from all the clouds doing it at the same time.

It's not a game breaker, but just an immersion annoyance.

I don't recall it having happened for more than about the last two weeks, and I cannot, unfortunately, tell you what settings I might have changed in that time which coincides with its appearance.

I've had similar to this for a long time, usually a checkered square pattern flickering across the wings, cockpit, or ground depending on altitude. It only happens under certain conditions but I've put it down to the ATI card I'm running, although I have no idea of what is really causing it

[ATAG_Colander]

I have an NVIDIA and also have seen it.

I have ATI and see this all time. :)

I saw this using a nvidia 660 the first night 401 tried out the MOD, a day or two before release. Not really an issue IMO.

Hi guys, don't know where to put this. I've noticed, that shadows on the wing is blurried. This is not an issue, as I've got used to it. But I've noticed, that it's looking actually very good and sharp if I look at the shadow on the border of my field of view. I don't know if this can help to something. Maybe it's some type of wrong filtering? Or is it related to some GC settings ?
The shadows looks ok in cockpit, it's just on external surfaces. (I have ShadowMapSize parapeter set to 6 in conf. ini)
Here are some images of it:

I have the same things JanoD, I'm running GTX 570HD.

Is it related to GC? I recently bought a gtx960. I did not noticed it before, because I've had old card and shadows at low settings.

Not sure, I can't remember if I ever got the clean/sharp shadows before TF fixed AA, but thats what I figure it has to do with.

[JanoD]

Hmm, another interesting thing. Maybe it's somehow clipped. When I zoom in, shadows are very nice too. There are shadows from very subtle coockpit details visible.

Yeah, I remember... granted I haven't played in forever, but I would get clean shadows at certain angles and blurry at other angles, and zooming in and out would also do things to the shadows, both sharpening them or blurring them.

As to why... no idea.
