The other day I noticed pink specks floating across my screen as I was flying. At first it looked like a screwed up lens flare, so I turned that off and kept flying. Later I noticed it again so I took a few screenshots and forgot about it.

Well, today I was flying the new Lancaster for the fist time, and I saw the things again. This time I got a better look at them. They follow the aircraft approximately 1000 feet below, and are 3 dimensional. There are two of them, and they stay a fixed distance apart, and move with the aircraft. The best way to describe them is a bomb shape...a sphere with a short cylindrical protrusion on one side. I changed aircraft, and they're still there.
 
Wow.... first evidence of life from another planet in FS!!!
They´re among us already!!!!!! Run!!!! :running:

Serious now: Maybe an effect with a bad texture?
 
Do you have sim_probe for ridge lift? That's what my current assumption is, but I wouldn't mind knowing for sure.

Same problem here !
Although it seems to me the problem was occuring already before the installation of SimProbe... but that's quite a long time ago, I may be wrong...
 
I've seen these little purple parachutes too, they seem to exist at high altitude, now that sim-probe isn't needed since cumulsx 1.5, perhaps they'll go away, if indeed that was causing it.
