Terrain Artifacts

Featured Replies

Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out what is causing strange terrain artifacts (spikes).  Currently running P3Dv4.1 at the moment with Oculus Rift (PC specs in signature).  I've attached a pic below for reference.  The picture is a relatively mild case of it, seems to be very random when/where they pop up at.  Sometimes I will get dense clusters of them towering at varying heights.  Trying to do some research on it has brought me to hardware overload as a possible culprit however my settings have been reduced quite a bit to run native VR smoothly.  I've also monitored my temps during sessions where the artifacts appear and there doesn't seem to be anything crazy going on, plenty of PSU power as well.  If anybody can help shed some light on what might be causing this, would be much appreciatied!  Add-ons are listed below.

Sorry, but your picture is too small to recognize anything. Try to make a picture when you are closer to the spiking objects.

I have the exact same, but only in North America and only when using ORBX OpenLC NA. And usually during twilight and dark, not during broad daylight... I have no clue what it is...
