July 15, 200619 yr Take a look at this: http://www.avsim.com/pages/robertw/FSX/064.jpgNow, the sun appears to be shing either thru the tail of the airplane (a bug), OR is it shining thru the Fabric of the airplane? Can anyone say which way?thanks,
July 15, 200619 yr How about sun glare on the camera len's that is taking the shot from another aircraft, while in close formation. L.Adamson
July 15, 200619 yr I've seen a similar effect from a lens glare taking a picture of aircraft in the real world.
July 15, 200619 yr It is the bloom effect which is a new feature in fsx. Another nice thing in this shot is the self shadowing on the aircraft. The sun seams to be somewhere low in front of the cub in this shot.cheers, :-beerchugC.G.
July 15, 200619 yr Holy jeez... is this a complaint? I mean... seriously? "No matter how eloquent you are or how solidly and firm you've built your case, you will never win in an argument with an idiot, for he is too stupid to recognize his own defeat." ~Anonymous.
July 15, 200619 yr Bloom...I was wondering that too, but just didnt mention it. I didnt think it was a bug, but I noticed items moving thru the terminal building in the new vid realeased on Thursday and just wanted to confirm. Goodness, I hope it wouldnt be the tail light (as someone jokingly pointed out (Ihope)).
July 15, 200619 yr I'm pretty sure it is the bloom effect, but it's used as a reflection of the sun off of the tail surface.
July 15, 200619 yr Even if it was a bug (which it doesn't appear to be), the quality of the rest of the image is super!Ray Keattch
July 15, 200619 yr The immediate impression I got when I saw the screenshot was that it is simply bloom from the sun reflecting off of the metal, and it looks quite good. This is an optical effect you can see all the time in real life (but seriously, if you haven't seen it before it might be a good time to take a break from the computer :().And airplanes aren't made of translucent fabric so that theory can be immediately ruled out.
July 15, 200619 yr Yeah it definately looks like sun glint and as mentionion the shadows indicate that the sun is to the left, rather low in the sky straight off the left wing. Bernard
July 15, 200619 yr >Holy jeez... is this a complaint? I mean... seriously?>>Jeez... It was just a simple question. Next time take your time reading the text.
July 15, 200619 yr Don't know... but can you spot the dog chasing the sheep in farmland below? Amazing!
