are you referring to the 4 or 5 vertical lines on your screen?

mm no that's the rain!

I'm refering to the white things under the wings. The strobe reflections on the wet ground are like a square shape.

Is it normal?

Yeah its normal, nothing to worry about

I'm trying to understand how those light squares can be "normal". I've never seen or had that issue. The screenshot below is from just prior to dusk with heavy rain. It's hard to capture on my system because i don't have the square light reflection issue. My reflections on the ground and wet surfaces is a faint white flash or glow just like it's supposed to look. it's the same way in the middle of the day in the rain.

 

I'm guessing the issue might be related to the effects slider not being maxed out under settings or a video driver issue. Fede has a GTX580. I have a GTX 570.
