polarbear Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Doing a zoom climb and looking back at the airport I've noticed a very strange but unfortunately highly visible problem, it occurs just a tad below 30000ft and above. That said, it's one of the very few really top sceneries with no popping up runways in the distance, no runway markings changing their color with increasing distance, no fuzzy runway markings. A pilots dream It's nice to have great airport details but as a RW pilot the most important item is simply the runway and it's realistic appearance from a few miles out down to the touchdown. This problem doesn't appear at ESSV and ESSD. (the two other terrific airports!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Nyberg Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hi, What you are seeing are some boxes that helps with some visibility issues for the airport objects. I'll see if I can replicate the issue, the boxes are 30 meter underground so I'm surprised they show for you. Regards, Marcus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus Nyberg Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Hi, I've been trying to replicate the issue and the only way for me to see it is if I choose top-down view and zoom out as far as I can. When using spot plane I can't see the issue. Did you use top-down view when taking the screens or do you experience this in spot plane view as well?

I did encounter this problem in the VC view but in the meantime I have upgraded to P3Dv4.4 and presently I don't have any additional scenery etc. installed. I'll report when I've done so.

polarbear Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 update. Same problem with 4.4 (the markers don't show up very well on the screenshot, maybe due to the compression) Another interesting problem is the ground shimmering during the approach. When taxiing on, or close to the surface you don't notice it, only when flying/approaching, the shimmering is noticeable. It happens at within the marked red boundary on every surface except the hard apron surface. Nevertheless, all three airports are superb and another big realism advantage is that these airport surfaces are the only one I've encountered so far which don't pop up on a short 3-4NM final. They keep the same visual appearance all the way in. Adds a lot the realistic immersion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Nyberg Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Thanks for the testing, I'm not sure why the red boxes render for you but when we make a service pack I can just put them further down in the ground so they for sure won't pop up. Not sure when we will make a service pack though but I'll put it on the list, Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
