Black Lines

There are so many settings to parse through. From Nvidia to AMD, whether using DLSS and other AI augmentation or not - then the sim 'water' settings and so on...
So far the only persistent and obvious water rendering issues I have are as old as FSX - the large shader blocks in the water (in some regions ) that appear and change in tint when you get near them (it also happens to the terrain in some areas as well), and the 'step' where a body of water will have two different elevations of just a scale foot or two - along with the sloping water
along some but not all shorelines. Same as it ever was
 
Anybody familiar with black lines being generated by the Sim when passing over bodies of water ?

I think I know what you mean. For me, it only happens in some areas of the world, so I doubt it's a setting, driver, or GPU issue. It looks more like the seams between water "tiles" sometimes don't match up (like heywooood says) creating very straight "black" lines in a large grid. Most of my flying is in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, and I almost never see them there. However, when I head to the tropics (like the Caribbean), I see them occasionally. I think I've just learned to ignore them.
 
well now I want to see it. anybody has a screenshot of this? or maybe tell us where you are flying when you see these lines?
