Vakarian Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 I've made a simple mission where I places IFVs on a Handy Wind tanker "for narrative purposes" and when I went in to test how it's picked up from TGP I noticed they can be invisible when watched from certain angles. Then I went to F9 view and same thing was displayed there, so it's not TGP related issue. I'll link the track, mission file and a YT video my SQN mate made that describes the issue. Video describes the F9 view, but on track you can see it from the aircraft perspective too. ifvsDisappearing.trk test.miz 1
silverdevil Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 interesting. what about if they are placed on the helipad?

Vakarian Posted November 12, 2021 Author Posted November 12, 2021 Haven't tried that, I could test it when I get home. I do have to point out that they are static objects. If I use active objects, then I get bug described here:
Flappie Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 @VakarianI cannot reproduce your issue in current open beta. Do you have any mods installed other than Tacview or SRS? If so, disable them, then check if the issue remains. ---
Vakarian Posted November 15, 2021 Author Posted November 15, 2021 Sorry for late reply. Other than Tacview and SRS, I have T-45 and ZeDim static pack. I've disabled both, ran the track file again and I still experience the issue. Then I ran repair with those mods still disabled and that didn't help also... Then I reloaded the mission, placed couple of units on helipad to test and I found out a weird thing. As seen on a new track file, at first I loaded the mission, selected the aircraft and went straight to F9 view of the ship. Rotated around it multiple times and the units were visible. Then I went to A-10, put TGP on the ship and the units disappeared from TGP view. Went to F9 again and then the units on the ship were visible only from certain angles. Posting a track and the video I've recorded showing this bug. ifvsDisappearingV2.trk
dorianR666 Posted November 18, 2021 Posted November 18, 2021 it might be because of your very wide screen. have you tried the standard 1920x1080 and see if the problem remains? might be worth a try and perhaps explanation why flappie doesnt see it.

Flappie Posted November 18, 2021 Posted November 18, 2021 As a matter of fact, I see the same issue with his latest track. I do use a wide screen myself. Can you see this bug using said track, dorian? ---

b0bl00i Posted December 18, 2021 Posted December 18, 2021 The same can EASILY be seen with contrails, ground units, city and runway lights at night etc. Items pop in depending on your head position and zoom level. Has been like this for years. 3
Vakarian Posted December 18, 2021 Author Posted December 18, 2021 Hmmm, I've never noticed this for the ground units. I know that contrails can disappear when they are a bit farther and you look at them from a random position, but I didn't encounter this issue with ground units or aircraft
Flappie Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 Hi @Vakarian. I cannot reproduce this issue anymore. Can you please confirm this got fixed? ---
Vakarian Posted February 26, 2023 Author Posted February 26, 2023 Hey @Flappie I've used the track "ifvsDisapperingV2.trk" from couple of posts up and I can still reproduce the issue on latest OB. Initially IFVs are shown, but when I hop in the A-10 and look at the ship through the TGP they start disappearing... All I've done is let the track replay, haven't taken command at any point. 2 1
Flappie Posted September 29, 2023 Posted September 29, 2023 @Vakarian I've jus replayed the whole track (which still works verywell) in present OB and I cannot see any invisible vehicle. Can you give it another go, please? ---
Vakarian Posted September 30, 2023 Author Posted September 30, 2023 Hi there @Flappie. Thanks for not forgetting this As far as I can see, the issue seems to be resolved. Watched the track (yeah, it is nice how it still works) and for the whole duration the IFVs were visible on the ship. We have a saying in my team at work "Due to sufficient time passage, the issue seems to have fixed itself". Pass along the thanks to the team, they must have done something to fix the rendering issue. Also, for everyone else watching. this is why we do tracks for bug reports. Might seem meaningless, but it isn't. 2
