Search the controls menu for something called ‘Cycle Padlock’ or ‘Padlock’ (I can’t remember exactly which it is) I set mine to left CTRL plus the / key and it’ll lock onto your aircraft and follow it. Also worth setting the zoom keys too so you can zoom in and out on your plane.

I wasn’t going to mention anything as I also saw it was a known issue but the more and more posts about it were specifically about VR and no mention of 2D. All good though, I’m sure ED will sort it....

It still does it really bad even without the use of TrackIR. It’s the movement and roll of the aircraft which triggers it, not so much TrackIR. I’m sure they’ll fix it...

Yeah it was the 2.7 update and the clouds. It’s a known issue but all the reports etc have been aimed at VR.

I’ve just not seen many people complaining about it in 2D and only in VR, which made me a bit worried and thinking I’ve got the only wobbly clouds on the monitor! Ha.

Yeah, TrackIR 5 but it does it when not using it too.

Hi guys, I’m seeing a lot of posts about the wobbly clouds and people saying it’s in VR. I just wanted to confirm that this isn’t just VR, it’s most certainly in 2D too as it’s pretty bad for me on my monitor. I’m assuming when ED fix it it’ll fix it for both VR & 2D...?

I’m having the same issue. Takes an age for it to shut down. I’ve tried different page file settings too and it makes no difference. Weird...

2D here and I see it a lot, it’s quite bad.

Cheers mate, appreciate that...

Ah really? That’s great news! Looks like I’ll be trading mine in for one soon too. pleased its sorted the problem..

Yeah the antialiasing issue is pretty annoying but it’s definitely on ED’s radar to fix, as they said so in the patch notes. if they can fix that, the wobbly clouds and the shadow flashing issue then it’d be pretty much perfect.

Take a look at the video track of mine that Flappie has put up...is that what you’re seeing? Or are you seeing the antialiasing issue that’s apparent on the horizon in some cloud settings? If it is that then ED are aware of it.

Yeah I imagine they're probably aware and it's more than likely down to the new lighting/clouds......Thankyou, appreciate it.

Hi mate. No probs at all..... I tested it on Syria and it does exactly the same. Just to point out I'm not using any mods and my GPU driver is the latest one.

I've just done a quick flight which shows the issue I'm having.....you'll clearly see the ground shadows flashing, especially down in valleys etc. Test1.trk Not sure if you need this this but I've attached the log from the flight too... dcs.log

Just done another flight on Caucasus using one of the high scattered presets and it's the shadows that are cast on the ground by the clouds that are flashing. It's really bad once you get over the hills and mountains. Tried a repair, deleted shaders etc and it does it on all cloud quality presets too. It doesn't appear to do it using a heavily overcast preset. Strange...hope ED can fix this along with the jumping clouds. Can confirm this happens on Syria too.

Yeah happens under the lowest deck. It’s particularly noticeable looking down in the valleys near the Caucasus mountains. My 1080Ti is on a EK water block and I’m still seeing temps of 72 degrees.

Is anyone seeing strange flashes/flickering across the Caucasus map? It’s happening when using scattered cloud presets mainly. It’s like the ground shadows are popping in and out.

It’s Riva Tuner, part of the MSI Afterburner software. I use it to lock the frames to 60.

Ah my bad, thought you meant in general. TrackIR seems fine too but I’ll double check...

That’s a strange one for sure mate...unfortunately I’m not clued up on the dual screen set up as I only run the one myself....and VR every now and again. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can help you with that one...

I’ve just tested 165hz, 144, 120 and 60hz low level on Syria in the Viper doing 600 knots over Adana and there is no difference at all. Scenery isn’t blurred. I’m picky too, I’d notice it!

+1 Vanishes when you fly over it....

Absolutely bang on these clouds. Just need to fix the antialiasing issue and the cloud wobble effect and it’ll be pretty much perfect! Good job ED...
