I noticed while on the ground whenever I pan the camera around while outside, or in the cockpit, my cloud shadows will disappear and reappear making the terrain obviously lighter, then darker and vis Vera’s in the background which is really annoying and kinda kills the mood. Is this normal? I’m new to P3Dv4 so I’m still learning what quirks are from my settings or computer, and which ones the whole community is “suffering” from while waiting on patches and fixes. Thanks!

Yes unfortunately this is just something that happens with P3Dv4.  I find it more noticeable as the sun angle gets lower and when you are flying with the sun on either your left or right.  Sometimes I wind up switching the cloud shadows off when it gets too annoying.

Well, I don't exactly know what caused this, but the long-standing cloud shadow problem completely disappeared for me after installing the most recent nVidia driver (397.31 WHQL, not the 397.55 hotfix) and rebuilding the P3d4 shader cache.
