I had this, then updated it to the most current version and removed that issue completely. Actually able to crank many more settings up, especially considering the graphics card I am running and using virtual reality (then updated again today to the newest one 20190820 release with no negative impact).

Try repair, then delete folders and start dcs to make new folders. Am wondering if these are settings issues. I recall fixing flickering clouds with a setting change. Not sure but it might have been view distance. Water looks horrible on low setting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpipe Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Have you tried a repair and/or deleting fxo and metashaders 2 folders in Saved Games/ DCS folder? Hey that's done it by the way! Thanks! Remembered reading about doing this after updates a while back too so feeling not so clever now! :(:music_whistling: Deleted the wrong fxo and metashaders (the ones in main folder not saved games0 but repaired it and all good again EDIT: That hasn't done it as it happens. It appears to be when density of clouds is higher that they begin to flicker, now seeing it from below also. WIll toy with GPU settings and see if i can stop it that way Edited August 24, 2019 by Bagpipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that every time before booting DCS (BigNewey recommendation) and it has worked a treat for me. No idea why, as computers code/programming/script stuff really isn't something I've every dug into - but glad that trick has worked for others as well!

Seems to be at a certain cloud density now appearing from below and above. Its like a rave up there! Very noticeable on BD's Mig19 campaign due to very atmospheric levels of cloud. Getting pretty frustrating and any google search only shows up posts from 2015 etc with no fixes reported apart from updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpipe Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 Hey, so just ran another few tests and this seems to be a specific campaign bug. I have reported to developer and asked for their input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its just density 9 when youre above clouds you get it. That has been around for a while but maybe there are other issues going on now too.
