Small triangles in water?

[M3Stang 27]

Played the game yesterday for the first time in about 3 weeks, so not sure if a small update happened or something over that time. I noticed that sometimes during a flight, that small lakes will have small triangles in them that kind of "remove" the reflections in the water. I'll take a screenshot next time I see it. It was also at night in game as well. Everything else looks great and the game runs great as well. Its not all the time just sometimes. Water most of the time looks normal. Anyone else see this?

Aren't those the sunlight glints you are looking at?

I noticed them for the first time with water on ultra. It's a really neat effect.

I am not sure, like it looks like they are having an issue rendering. Like they are not reflective at all and just look like missing texture.

The sun glints show as pure brilliant white, as you expect, but they do seem to appear as small triangles.  I take it your triangles are the same as the water colour but without any cloud reflection? 

As I have not heard of anyone else with this issue, and you are on a 3070 with no current issues reported for that card, if it persists, I would just try a fresh driver install but using something like DDU to clear out any trash.  I am on the latest Nvidia drivers on a 3080 and they seem fine.

Just one thing.  If you are on DX12, it is buggy as hell at the moment.  I would go back to DX11 for a while.

Interesting. Its at night too sometimes. They are like light gray. Ill see if it happens again, on a flight right now and maybe I can capture it.

I did not see it today, instead, it just decided to suddenly run at 13 fps and use 10% GPU. Have not had that happen in a long time. Then the game just crashed it got to 2 fps. I think because I started a discord stream. I read back in 2020 that there was an issue with discord running or something with FS. With my Specs I would not think I would have an issue streaming.
