Like this user, I'm also seeing another tesselation related problem that's new in P3Dv2.3

 

Here's a recording I took of the problem (and compressed it) but you can see clearly the lines, squares... flashing over the terrain. Being water and/or land.

Situation:

==========

- have tessalation enabled

- with any slider setting in the tesselation factor

- you (well some of us) have the problem.

...

- disable tesselation

- restart P3D

- the problem is not there.

 

Facts:

======

- this was not there in P3Dv2.2

- I've had it with a totally fresh install of P3Dv2.3 without ANY addon

- I still have it with FS Global, Vector, EU Landclass installed

- I have it in the US and in EU, so not related to a particular scenery

- deleted shaders

- Nvidia driver 337.88

- EVGA GeForce GTX 670

 

I've performed a rollback of that nasty NVidia driver 340.52 last week to get rid of the first tessalation related renderings druing P3Dv2.2.

Yep, I have blocky, flashing cloud shadows. I notice flashing in the water reflections as well. Close to the aircraft the clouds look fine. Get a few miles out and they are an ugly flashing mess.

***UPDATE***

It's not tesselation itself, but rather the Bathymetry who's the cause.

Disable bathymetry and you'll see these flashes stop immediatelly.

That's good to hear. I normally don't have bathymetry enabled anyway. I guess I forgot to unchecked it after the update.
