In orbit of kerbin, the vessel still uses the cloud map to determine if it should be in shadow or not, causing flickering between light and dark while in orbit.

This is true.

So that's what that is.  I've been wondering.

Severity: Low

Frequency: High

Description: This visual bug is noticeable at high speeds. In orbit or in Kerbin's atmosphere I can notice the light flickering on my active vessel. I don't know what is causing this, because there is nothing between the sun and my craft to cause the light to dim as such. Normally, clouds do that, but I notice it when I am above clouds.

So I suspect it is indirectly caused by the clouds (their map or pattern that moves around Kerbin, is supposed to cast shadows on the active craft, so maybe that is a by-product bug of that liaison?).
