reported Lighting Issue in certain conditions.

[Megalax]

There is a lighting issue where a seam appears down the spine of the Hornet under certain lighting conditions.

I don't think it's a lighting issue. That looks like a 3d-modeling issue to me...As in someone for got to merge the verts...

[BIGNEWY]

If possible attach a short track replay showing an example, I will report it then. 

 

thanks

I should specify that the first screenshot is from the Model Viewer. The second one is in game.

 

I don't see how a track will help, but sure I can make one.

I believe it's a normal texture issue. It's not just on the spine but also below the cockpit where the ejection warning labels are placed.

Track attached.

Yes noticed that too during my screenshot sesh this morning.

I take my previous post back by looking at the textures. It looks more like a 3d model issue as Zeagle pointed out. The model was also updated with 2.7, the textures were not.

Can confirm, the issue is incredibly immersion breaking. The sooner a fix arrives the better.

I am not seeing any issue, please add more track replays showing it.

Does it occur only on certain textures? Maybe it's a texture mapping error.

It's visible the most using model viewer, even with a default lighting, especially when View->Draw mode is set to Diffuse. Visible in all liveries, even those that change normal maps. Also visible in certain lighting conditions in the sim.

Happens on all of them I've tested so far.

@BIGNEWY Can you tell us why tracks are of any use even for such a lightning issue?

 

Is it to verify that users don't use any shader mods, or modified textures, etc.?

 

Track file attached.

Hmm, somehow the post seemed to eat my replay. Anyway, above pics are from base F-18 model, though they are present on every livery I've tried. Seam is visible on F1 and F12, but is not visible on F3, F4, F5, or any other key except base and Cockpit GI. Visual mod turned off for the picture. This is how it looks both in model viewer and in game.

Issue persists in all LODs.

I have the same problem since 2.7! It affects all F18 Liverys...

It seems like something has not been merge regarding the model, the team are looking into it
