Thanks for the info Ben, i appreciate it. Are there any plans to look at the tower view thrashing for V10? Thanks.

Other than landscape such as mountains, hills, city vs open.. its the same scenery everywhere. Would love to get more details seeing its coming up on 3 months since jan release, there has to be something new.

*pops open the bottle of scotch…*

Helps explains the “flickering” issues I have seen. Also, when changing the time of day when on an aircraft carrier opp. The ship bounce’s all over the place and loud noises occur. Also, sometimes weapons and wing pylon graphics flicker and are distorted ( * this has not happened for quite some time, so hoping that is fixed)

also, when will you have more eye appealing cool screen shots of v-10?

It _can_ be used in an aircraft, but it will _not_ fix the from-tower thrash. The from-tower-view thrash is an X-Plane bug…basically in the tower view, the precision of the Z buffer is too low at the airplane. If you use poly_os to ‘fix’ this, besides causing a number of bizarre problems (parts 2 and 3 can help explain this), you’ll replace one artifact with another. This bug really needs to be fixed in-sim by LR.
