Problem with water surface!

Recommended Posts

I was playing Russian version of BS.

Comparing terrain in DCS-BS with LOFC, i find a problem...maybe called a bug: Water looks abnormal :music_whistling:

Having a look on water on riverbank, you can easily realize a space between ground (bank) and water. I feel the water surface is 600-1000m deeper than the bank and this bug cheats pilot's feeling when he makes low flying over the sea.

 

In this case, the Ka-50 (after pilot ejecting) is floating on water, after few minutes it seems still staying there, no sinking.

If it has no shadow under the helicopter you guys see my pictures and think that the helo's flying at about 1000m above sea surface.

 

Some screenshots:

Compare to another picture of Su-25T sinking in LOFC:

Is it in the same place on the map? Probably not...

 

This is an old and known limitation of the graphics engine (existed in FC also), which renders water universally under the terrain as a base at sea level. When you observe water placed significantly above sea level (such as a mountain river/lake), it look as if you're looking into a well.

 

There is no way to fix this in the current engine.

Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer.
