I've noticed a strange problem with aircraft reflections. Effectively metallic reflections have a strange 'watery' and circular appearance. This affects both default aircraft and addon aircraft. For reference, I'm not using any shader add-ons.
I first noticed it last night, and after deleting the Prepar3D.cfg and my shader cache, it seemed to be fine all day today. I reloaded the sim again this evening and it's reappeared.
I tried deleting the shader cache again, but this did nothing. I deleted the Prepar3D.cfg again and, sure enough, it went away...until I restored my settings and reloaded the simulator.
I then rolled back to older drivers (460.79 - December 2020), and reinstalled the client and content components of P3D, to no avail.
After this, I tried increasing each setting individually, but nothing triggered the bug until I restarted the simulator.
I then tried dialling up each setting individually, restarting the sim between each. I think I've narrowed it down to the cloud shadow cast setting, which is strange considering I've always had this enabled. It was also fine when I flew today.
I then remembered that I had accidentally put the cloud shadow quality up to ultra when I first deleted my Prepar3D.cfg. I had reduced it back to medium (which I ony recently started using) after my flights today. Pulling at straws, I put the shadow quality back to ultra and it's gone. I also tried high, and that seems to work too.
So a combination of cloud shadow cast on and shadow quality below high causes these reflection bugs to trigger, but I'm not sure why?
Does anybody have any ideas?
