I sympathize, FSX is full of nasty graphical artifacts! I don't know the solution but I am banking on P3D V2 taking care of a lot of that stuff. No PMDG though! :(

You have a screenshot?

FSX is over taxed,we need a new platform. My computer is dialed in,and at least once a week,there's always some issue.

Its 10 pounds of #@&* in a 5 pound sack.

Are you by chance using BP=0 in your fsx.cfg? If so, try scaling back some of your sliders and increasing water to High 2x.

Well a screenshot wouldn't show any flickering unfortunately :(

Yes I am as a matter of fact, I'll give your suggestions a try TY!

Are you using any clouds from AS 2012? Because if you are, and using them correctly, you should not be seeing this.

Jim,

 

I think I know what he's talking about.

 

It's when a cloud layer has mountains rise up through it. It creates an edge which can be unsightly.

 

I use AS2012 and have this from time to time. When you say use clouds correctly what do you mean? I have a theme installed but I'm obviously missing something.

If you are using opus disable fog and mist effect. That should solve it

Try this. It's not PMDG related, but something to do with FSX's shaders.

I remember this problem is called "Z-fighting". Have a look at the link below:

Injected correctly from AS to FSX, with FSX closed at the time of injection.

lol, I love how we're singled out here like our products have anything at all to do with this. You should say "high altitude flight" or something.

 

For what it's worth you can easily see this effect down low in a GA airplane too. I have countless times.

ROFLMAO ..... what a great quote. Never heard it before, but can certainly imagine it. Almost as good as my favourite .... "If your IQ was any lower, you would need watering". Brilliant stuff.
