When you attach a small object to the fuselage of an aircraft and put a camera near to it, if you watch it carefully by camera during flight, you can see it will vibrate in cycles (becoming more and more violent, and stop, and become violent again and again…). If an object's surface is very close to another's surface, it will "flash" during such vibration (as you can see in the GIF above). Also, no matter whether you are in atmosphere or in space, as long as you are moving, this bug occurs, and it seems every part will vibrate.

This bug has been existing since the first time I played SR2(0.8.107). It really annoys me since I am making a detailed dashboard of an aircraft and this shake sometimes makes instruments unreadable and terrible to look at (like in the GIF above). I hope someone can look into it and fix it !

Bug Rejected Found in 0.9.303.0

    @AndrewGarrison Now at least it makes sense to me, thanks for your explanation!

    This looks like Z-fighting, which happens when two meshes are overlapping and the game engine gets confused about which mesh is on top and it flickers back and forth. As you fly further away from the starting point, all meshes in your craft are further from the origin of the local coordinate system which causes some imprecision. This happens until the local coordinate 're-centers' and precision is good again so the flickering goes away.

    One way to prevent z-fighting is to offset the pieces of your instrument a little bit so they are not as flush with each other. This means pulling your white lines forward a bit and pushing the black cylinder back a bit and moving the yellow, green, and red sections somewhere in between.

    Do you have a link to the craft shown in the gif?
