Flickering ground texture from cockpit view

[Wolf Rider]

Looking out from the cocpit onto the terrain from a field landed P51, there is a lot of the ground close to the plane is "flickering".

 

(this is very light coloured sections in the ss's)

Could you try getting a trackfile of this this uploaded please? Thanks.

May be I'm wrong but could be a cloud's shadow...

I think that is just Z-fighting on the overlay textures that show the 'hedgerows' between fields.

The same thing occurs with crater textures on the ground, and it's generally pretty hard to avoid in a flight sim, where the possible Z values are huge due to the large distances - when two planar objects are extremely close there may not be enough variable precision to determine which is in front of the other, resulting in the flickering.

Yep at 270 secs the terrain textures flicker quite badly - info has been submitted to the ED database, thanks.
