"Frozen" Water in cockpit view

[SonofEil]

From first person cockpit view (F1) the ocean is completely frozen. The wave heights and whitecaps will be rendered appropriately according to the wind but the water does not move at all. Switch to outside F2 view and the water works as it should, sloshy and dynamic. Back to F1 view, the water is "frozen" again.

I first noticed this issue a couple months ago ~2.2 OA, thought I'd ride it out until the updates but still having the issue with 2.5.

My water setting is High. Searched the forums and hoggit and can't find it mentioned anywhere else. Any suggestions appreciated!

Yup I first noticed that 5 months ago, in DCS 2.1. It is indeed still happening.

Does anyone have any suggestions, maybe something in the configs that I'm not thinking of? I've been through most of them but nothing stands out. My install is also un-modded so there shouldn't be any obvious conflicts. Based on the many hundreds of in-cockpit YouTube videos of 2.5 (and prior) this doesn't seem like a common issue.

Any guidance/suggestions are appreciated!

Here's a short vid of the issue (which doesn't seem to be working, here's the link https://youtu.be/f86OE6UcmnY ):

Hi Guys

 

this is reported and we hope to have a fix soon

 

thanks

Sea waves animation will be works correctly from inside some cockpits.

 

Sorry guys, the same problem persists for me after hotfix 3 update. There's no difference.

: (

I'm going nuclear: full wipe and clean install, see if that clears up some of these problems. I'll report back.

It's the motherluvin MIRRORS!!!

Did a total wipe and rebuilt from scratch, checking during each step. With a virgin install and no modules I had working water animation in the trainer mustang. Downloaded the F-5, still works. Loaded my backed-up missions, water is still slippery. Downloaded the Harrier, yay water!!

I loaded one of my missions to have a casual victory flyaround. Sitting on the deck I notice my mirrors are black. Oops.

Left Shift + M.

What. The. Hell.

Mirrors turn on aaaaaand...broken water animation.

Left Shift + M.

Mirrors are off, animations are back on!!.

Video proof (and link https://youtu.be/kZ2qYezxAIM since I don't know how to embed videos apparently):

 

 

Testers/Mods, if the boys in the front office aren't aware yet please let them know that it seems the source of the problem is that water animations are somehow coupled with cockpit mirrors. Or if someone can shoot me the link with the bug report instructions (couldn't find them with a quick search) I can send it in.
