Blue/green "lines" in distance...

Featured Replies

Just flew from ESSA to ESSB in the Caravan, a nice and short morning trip, and in the distance, at the horizon, (I used live weather) I could see small greenish/blue "lines" just between the ground and the clouds base level in distance... What is that? I would have taken a picture, but not sure how to do that, sorry...

any ideas what those "lines" are?

...no one seen this?

Ya I've seen that too! But only once or twice, and it was during live weather! I was getting a weird light blue band on the horizon in certain spots.

I get a straight line that looks black to me, maybe 1-2 pixels thick that goes laterally across the scenery in certain parts of the world. Got it last flying in the Norwegian fjords.

That is due to the intermittend mesh at low level missing. That problem existed back in FS9 already. Mesh has to be layered by complexity so that the sim engine can display the appropriate resoloution at each distance. When you see those black lines it means the mesh for that level of detail is missing and you now see through the world. In FSX the void below the world was blue, so you would get blue lines in the terrain. In MSFS the void seems to be black, thats why you get those black lines.

 

I really wish the developers had done their homework on mesh, and included a much better default terrain mesh. Since they didn't and totally branched that off to Bing, this is the result...

Well Im not sure about that. I cant remember now, but I *think* the line also went across water. I KNOW it went across empty sky as well.

I have seen this also a couple of times.  At the horizon near distant clouds.  Very odd.
