March 26, 200620 yr Hello,Since a few weeks I have a problem which i cannot find any info about on the several forums. I have attached a picture to make a bit clear what is happening. As you can see there is a clear line above the horizon (like dividing sky from haze or so?) and sometimes, like in this picture, it looks like even some blocks are missing. I never saw it before till some weeks ago. Only things I have installed lately are the latest beta release of as6 and Ground Environment.I've tried all kinds of settings, even if i choose for low visibility, i still can see the line through the haze...Maybe it's not caused by as6 but if anyone can tell me what is causing this i would be really happy ;)Cheers,Martinhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/145916.jpg
March 27, 200620 yr Hi,Could be missing textures.Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development TeamActive Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter
March 27, 200620 yr Hi Jim, if it would be missing textures, which textures are we talking about then? Which ones to look for?On the other hand, i did do a fresh install and after that only installed some addon planes, AS and GE.
March 27, 200620 yr Hi,From your shot I cannot tell if they are land or water. If you fly towards them do they appear after awhile?Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development TeamActive Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter
March 27, 200620 yr Jim, it's sky. Land and water textures are fine. It's like the first inch above the horizon is made out of different textures than the rest of the sky. That's why i hoped you could tell me more about it ;)It's always on the horizon and in fact there's nothing to appear, it's always this blueish line. On the pic you can see one 'block' missing, well, it fills usually in a few seconds and then i have this straight line.... Martin
March 27, 200620 yr Hi,In FS04, what is your sight distance set to?Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development TeamActive Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter
March 28, 200620 yr Ok, never mind;) I will make some more pics soon which hopefully will show better the problem. I've tried all different settings, also for sight distance and it simply won't go. WHen i set to max sight distance i just see more land but the line is still there, it's in the sky, not on ground levelIt's just like the sky is made up of two layers, one up till about 1-2 inch from the horizon and the other one for the rest of the sky. Like only in the far distance a thick layer of fog is hanging over the land.Martin
March 28, 200620 yr I have solved it but i don't understand why this has solved it. I disabled "transform and lighting" which i always have had enabled. Now that i disabled it everything looks normal again. Does this setting have any effect on as6 in any other way?
March 28, 200620 yr Hi,No, I don't believe so. I wish I had a better shot of the problem so that I could be of better help. Maybe a bigger shot to my e-mail box: [email protected] this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development TeamActive Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter
March 28, 200620 yr Commercial Member Hi, It may related to the video cards driver, Maybe a re-install of driver will solve this. Normaly transform and lighting should be enabled, and you will have more fps as well enabled.Check the fs2004 hardware rendering light slider, be sure it is a full right.ThanksChris Willishttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6...development.jpg Kind RegardsChris Willis
March 29, 200620 yr Jim, Chris, now that you mentioned it, i did install the latest nvidia drivers a few weeks ago indeed, I can try to reinstall them (after a clean uninstall) and see if it helps.Lights rendering is at full right position.Weird thing is though that scenery textures seem to load much faster with T&L switched off. Also FPS is much better. Can it be that like AA the latest nvidia drivers takes care of H&L so that you don't need to enable it in fs anymore? (Just guessing around here ;) )I have a 6600 GT btw.
March 29, 200620 yr ALL,I too have recently experienced this. I also have updated to the latest NVidia drivers for my BFG6600GTOC. I turned off T&L and it went away. I may go back to the previous driver.Ken Ken
