First, I love this plane! The level of detail is excellent! I can tell a lot of work has gone into it! I have been flying X-Plane 11 in VR exclusively now for some time using Oculus and Fly-Inside. With the TBM 900 I am seeing a couple of interesting visual artifacts that are a bit difficult to describe. They only appear when inside the cockpit and have been present from the initial release through the current ver. 1.05. The first "effect" that is present all the time when the engine is running is the "heat bloom" coming from the stacks on each side of the engine. The exhaust heat effects look normal when viewed from outside the plane but, they are also visible from inside the cockpit as though the walls of the aircraft were transparent, (they aren't) and you are seeing thru to the outside of the plane, or it looks like the heat effect is flowing by you on the inside. Also they only appear in the right eyepiece. There is also what I can only describe as an " extreme magnification" of the environment outside of the airplane appearing only through the aircraft windows and again only in the right eyepiece. It appears something like there is a magnification power assigned to each window in the plane. When looking up, forward at the panel or down in the cockpit, everything looks normal. It's as though there is some special visual effect assigned to the transparency properties of the windows and front windshields. In the left eyepiece, there is sometimes a slight similar transparency effect that only appears in the inner 1/3 field of view. What is really strange is that none of these artifacts ( other than the constant exhaust heat plume effect) show up until climbing through 8000-10000 ft msl. Likewise, they disappear when descending below these altitudes and the view from outside the aircraft is completely normal at any altitude. The image magnification/transparency artifact is also visible on my main computer monitor on the right, when I take the VR headset off. I am not seeing anything like this with any other airplanes. I've included my log.txt if anyone is interested in taking a look.

Thanks!
