Water reflections misaligned

Recommended Posts

It just goes to show that the development of this sim would progress much faster if people didn't deny bugs and errors.

The problem is still - by far - not completely solved. And if you know the mathematics and geometry behind it, then you will easily understand why its by far not trivial.

10.50 only improves an obvious bug (which even worsened the situation) ... but there are enough other corner cases, which are definitely not easy to solve (at least not if you still want flyable FPS ... which is a factor often overlooked by people not aware of the hard facts of the "reflection problem").

 

So, yes ... it definitely improved (and especially at the sea, it works) . ... but go to the mountains with many lakes at different altitudes and you will see, that you still get problems (simply because you have a lot of different reflection planes at different altitudes, which its very costly to render all adequately - this is what would completely kill your FPS).
