Hi:Just wondering! Is anyone working on the horizon line problem (sharp straignt line) that appears at low elevations when using "Big Mammas"?Curtis

This has nothing to do specifically with Big Mammas. It is a general Fly! "problem". What is happening is that Fly is rendering the ground scenery and "fading out" as the max distance is met. The issue is that there are many hundreds of additional miles between the max distance and the actual horizon line. If you search through the old forum, there is a thread about this with some pictures that really bring it home.As far as I know, there is no "fix" for this horizon problem. -DK----David KohlFly!

I made a post about this once but I can't seem to find it anymore as the old forum is long gone. I did locate the pictures I made to go with my post, so along with David's explanation hopefully these will help:http://www.howintheworld.com/temp/horizon.jpgJak Fearonhow in the world?http://www.howintheworld.comhttp://www.howintheworld.com/hitw-images-misc/banner.jpg

Hey, Jak.Been a long time! I still have a lot of stuff from the old days, including an archive of the TerraScene beta forum from February 2000. Lots of interesting stuff there. Man, it seems like so long ago... it's hard to believe that I've moved twice since then.-Franklin------------------------------Franklin TesslerDP 800Fly! for Mac Co-moderator
