Tiny black dot in X-Plane cockpit

I'm getting this black "dot" in some planes and only some times. It's not on my screen nor in X-Plane in all views. Usually it's only present during either left through right views, from the cockpit only.

Anyone else getting it?

Kind of odd, possibly it is dirt on the windscreen. Do you have the option for scratched plexiglass window enabled?
That's a nice cockpit you have rendered there BTW

I doubt it as it's present in left-forward left-forward-forward right-right views.

Is it there on startup, or just after flying?
Xplane does model the buildup of dirt and bugs on the screen.

Usually appears shortly after flying. It's somewhat odd as it only happens in some planes and at random. Could it be some graphical buildup of bad pixels due to some error in the coding of the aircraft....or something such?

It is simulated dirt/bugs. No, I am not kidding.

Ah crap....that's what I get for misreading. The first time I read your reply in a hurry and thought you said "does not".
Good to know. Looks like it's indeed

That cockpit does look excellent. Which one is that? (and where can I get one)
