What do you call these lines that apparently randomly show up and disappear in-game, and how does one get rid of them? 

I have a true G-Sync 144Hz monitor and a GTX 1070ti cpu. Thank you.

I'm not 100% sure but that looks more like a scenery loading / terrain LOD / photogrammetry issue to me. Have you tried increasing the LOD cache slider or setting the render scale to 100 to see if it affects anything? Maybe even try increasing the lod range in the cfg file. Make sure to back up before you do and set to read only after editing. They are a few things you can try but honestly not 100% what the issue might be..

@Ridvan Celik These are my Graphic Options settings below.  Do you have any suggestions?

For the 'LOD range', which .cfg file (is it the usercfg.opt file)? I'm using MSFS on Steam and can't find the folder where the file is supposed to be in if that's the file you are referring to. Thank you.

By the way, the video above is about 10 miles north of KHAF (Half Moon Bay) and a few miles southwest of the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco (California, USA). The beach is called 'Ocean Beach'. I"m wondering if that problem also happens to others as well.

The file is Usercfg.opt and for Steam, look here:

C:\Users\myNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator

Thanks.  Change this line(s) to what?

    {Terrain
        LoDFactor 1.000000
    }
    {OffscreenTerrainPreCaching
        Enabled 1
        Quality 3
    }
    {ObjectsLoD
        LoDFactor 1.000000
    }

Just chamge both LOD to 2.000000 and save. you can also do this in graphic options settings.

How do I change these in the graphic options settings? Which ones and to what values?

Addendum:
I went ahead and edited the file by changing both values to 2 in the Usercfg.opt file, made the file read-only, and re-started MSFS. Examining the Options screen, I don't see any changes. Something probably should have changed.

Go to TERRAIN LEVEL OF DETAIL, use the slider, move it to the right, it should show 200

Go to OBJECTS LEVEL OF DETAIL, use the slider, move it to the right, it should show 200

Change ANISOTROPIC FILTERING to 16X

Click on Apply and Save

Do not make it Read-Only ! Undo it and go into graphic options settings

I made the changes, saved, and re-started the sim. No changes. The lines still show up. It seems like the lines show up in the same locations and with the same frequency.

I'm wondering if that issue is isolated to me only.

What would you call the screen issue?  Anyone know the name for that screen artifact? I know it's not 'screen tearing' since that is different.

That artifact is called MSFS !

Thanks for trying to help anyway. Maybe someone will chime in.

If you can, can you see if it happens to your installation also. The location is north of KHAF at a place called 'Ocean Beach' in San Francisco.

It might be some sort of shadow. You could try to turn off shadows in graphics options.
