Trees/shadow bug in 1.1.0.8

One of the first things i saw when i fired up 1.1.0.8 today, shadows projecting into the sky from forests

Known issue. Thanks.

Is there a way to stop it happening though?

Not that we know of yet, no.

Known issue. Thanks.

Would this be considered the same problem, it also cast a shodow across the front cockpit dash/console.

ehhm, you mean the "marker" on the canopy, right? This is a feature, not a bug! :megalol:

Real fighter planes have them, because you need some reference when looking back and up!

...like german Stuka bombers had an angle-scale on the canopy so the pilot could look at the horizon and easily determine the dive angle :smartass:

Guys, i'm having a dig through the 1.1.0.8 files to see if theres a switch to disable these tree shadows, so far i've had no luck....if anyone else finds a way please post it here :)

Thanks for the info:thumbup:

Your welcome! Since you have a TrackIR this is definitely useful...inverted dive, loopings etc. climb, look up, fix the horizon, use the strip to maintain 90° angle to the horizon... and remember gently pull on the stick or she will twitch and shake like a real beast

Actually it is a lightning rod (strip).

Hi all,

Also experiencing what I call the "floating trees" problem. They don't seem to cause a collision detection as I flew right threw them avoiding a SAM.

AMD ATHLON QUAD-CORE 4GB RAM

Win7 64-bit

GeForce GTS 450 Driver 270.71

CH PP/PT/FS

Track NoIR

normal trees dont cause collision detection in DCS though

Not that we know of yet, no.

So we will have to fly with those weird shadows all over Georgia until the next patch????

Missed the post above yours?

Hotfix to remove shadows next week.

We plan to release a hot fix next week to remove tree shadows.

 

Hopefully we will return them in 1.1.0.9 in a much better state.

Rgrt, the tree shadows would actually look very good if they didn't glitch, thanks for that info Wags :)

Oops! Yes, missed that one :wallbash:. Phew!

Sounds good!

:D

^^^ v nice photo :thumbup:

Whilst not entirely on-topic i felt i had to post this screenshot, has anyone else noticed a strange shadow around FARP's?

Yes, thanks - reported. Not sure when we will see this fixed.

I get the FARP shadow too.

Not only is there a shadow problem around FARP's, they also have the problem of flickering terribly at a distance ( this has been a long time problem, before 1.1.0.8 )

EXTERMINATOR. U find all the bugs;)
