0.90 graphics glitches - z-fighting @VAB & KSC, weird shadows on parachute lines

[TeMPOraL]

Hey,

I've noticed following graphics problems:

• z-fighting in VAB with flags - especially visible if you choose an ESA flag.
  
• z-fighting in KSC - when you fly over it, you can see KSC terrain part fighting with underlying Kerbin terrain
  
• weird shadows on parachute lines - when I'm close to the ground, parachute lines start to fill with shadow (i.e. all space between the lines goes dark); the effect depends of camera orientation - i.e. if you look from a high enough angle, they fill only to half the height of the parachute
  

I'm at work now, so I don't have screenshots. I'll post them later today if needed. I just want to ask if anyone else has seen those effects and if there are known fixes for them?

The shadow issue on parachute lines has been around for quite a long time. It was certainly present on 0.24.2 and 0.25 and I think I remember it from before then too...

I also this observed in .25 with some modded parts, for what it's worth. I still have that installation on hand if need be.

same is true for the z-fighting on flags in the VAB, it's been like that for a while.

I'm seeing Z-fighting with parts in the spaceplane hangar. The reason for this is likely because we can clip parts through each other and we couldn't earlier. I thought this was an issue with the low graphics settings I was playing the game at, but maybe it isn't?

Thanks for all the feedback!

Screenshots of the parachute glitch, for the sake of completeness. It's the first time I see this as far as I can tell; I've played 0.25 (unmodded and modded before) and had neither this nor z-fighting.

The parachute shadow is a weird one, but what's essentially happening is that the dark shadow part you see is the near-terrain -- the detailed terrain rendered only when you're fairly close (within a couple km, IIRC). For some reason, the transparent textures of the parachute cause that dark shadow when looking through it to detailed near-terrain, but cause no such issue with looking through onto low-res far-terrain. Not sure why, though.
