Eletrical lines (from Pylons) appearing blue when against fog/snow or other weather conditions.

Pretty sure this has been around a while, but I may try and replicate this later in a track if it's not a known issue. Just stood out to me today as it noticeably changes from the as-expected black to bright blue when it's against the ground vs the air here.

Oh yeah, this has been happening for a long time. IIRC it was even fixed for a brief period then it got broken again

Good to know I don't need to reproduce a track if it's a known issue, cheers.

Wonder if it's related to the spotting dots changing colour when against clouds sometimes as well. It has a similar look to it.

I do get it from time to time. Could be the spotting dots, while I feel it has more to with shadow settings.

Always better to include it. Unless you want "no track included" tag and then wait for another pass of forum checks.

This appears related, in terms of the way it punches through to the background.

I was amazed to see very bright electrical lines, glinting in the sun IRL. Granted, it was not the case as in the OP.

Also note they are exclusively 1 pixel thick in DCS and always black if not bugged otherwise. Not very realistic - the lines can either be very visible or almost invisible in some cases IRL.
