Nice video.

 

I see the clouds stay where they belong in the sky  .... but slightly rotate on their own axis ,,, in your video.

Other times in your video all looks normal.

 

So, I am looking a distant clouds ahead and I am not moving around very much.

Maybe someday I will notice it.

Is this just a track IR thing because I cant come even close to having this happen with panning?

I'll see if I can repeat with TrackIR off....

I have to say I've never seen that.  Using Track IR - have used Opus, FSGRW and ASN weather, as well as native themes.  System specs at left.  Strange!

New video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCTvTQpR62Y&feature=youtu.be

 

In this video, I had the same setup as the first video (listed below):

 

Setup:

Prepar3d v2.1 (with hotfix patch installed)

Weather: stock P3D theme "Building Storms"

Aircraft: F-22

TrackIR 5.x

Location: Chicago

 

In the first few seconds of this new video, TrackIR is on and everything is virtually identical to the first video I made. After about 3 seconds, you notice I pause the simulator. I then “pause” TrackIR, such that it is disabled. I then pan a bit with the control stick but nothing moves (because the sim is still paused). The remainder of the video is with TrackIR in this paused mode. The “rotating cloud” effect is (in my opinion) even more pronounced with TrackIR off and when rotating the aircraft around its axis. At certain points, clouds seem to do a full 360 turn. (Obviously, I’d like to see this fixed and/or disabled, depending on one’s viewpoint. I certainly don’t see this “effect” in any way being realistic or beneficial).  I probably see it less in a tubeliner because I'm obviously not performing these sort of maneuvers... but they still occur and are noticeable when turning into approaches.

Are you using an addon camera definition like EZdok? I have no idea but the phenomena doesn't exist in my sim. Ive tried turns, twistes outside views while turning even inverted flight and still not getting it? I can only pan in two dimensions. It looks like a three dimension twist. Up, down and roll camera angles.

Nope. I own a license for EZdok, but its not installed. Here is a list of everything installed:

 

FTX Orbx Global

FTX Orbx Vector

Active Sky 2012

REX 4 Textures

My Traffic 2013

 

Like I said, the weather was stock LM.

This is with a Stratus layer, which shows the spinning in the most exaggerated manner... though as stated, weather engines make use of these clouds as layers. Cumulus clouds do this too, but it is not quite so obvious.

 

This is panning with the default camera in the VC.

Anyway, this is enough of this!!! :smile:  ... its something P3Dv2 does and that is that, until LM do something to stop it, or add an option... which they said they would do if there was enough interest.

Novation,

Really!

Er, Yes! well and bloody truly :wink:

 

I just managed to get Bandicam working, as I could not record with Fraps in P3D for some reason, and just wanted to post the vid.

 

I will not soil this thread again with spinning clouds, honest :Yawn:

 

Thanks for keeping tabs on me BTW :rolleyes:

 

And just so I'm not adding any more posts on this.... the vid three posts below from vonmar is mostly Cirrus, which as already stated DO NOT SPIN... I can see his silly little puff of Cumulus doing the 'spin' though :rolleyes:  so thanks

Yes... not to sully the topic as I just got ASN running and want to check it out and get back on topic...

 

 

That said, I get the same exact rotations that you do Novation. That video is exactly what I experience.

Actually, the bulk of this thread should be in the LM forums! I agree it's ugly but I have NEVER seen the stratus behave like that and I pan around and/or use TIR a lot. I guess the only current option is to not pan around when in this situation and keep nagging LM to add it to their most wanted list.

 

Vic

Clouds views - P3Dv2.1 with hot fix default.

I would think we would all be able to see the strange cloud rotation.

But I cannot recall ever seeing it.

 

 
 

Now my head is spinning!

 

Lol

I see it now on my computer but Ive never even considered it an issue and stiil dont. Probably been that way since FS95.
