Just in case there is confusion about the smoke in front of the plane at impact, it is not an AA burst.  I was firing on a ground target and my bullets were actually striking the "chimney".

I'm not sure if I'm reporting this in the right thread - I got this error message on loading a replay of a P-40 flight:

 

The replay worked ok though, and the bomb still showed up. Curious....

[JAGER_Batz]

And the longitudinal instability in BF-109, FW-190 ??? Will solve ????

They plan to tidy up the loose nose BF-109?

Because it keeps doing somersaults in the air, and very unstable, too soft..

 

One more thing, will change the designs of planes in the briefing screen? because those planes belong to the ROF ...

Brief description:  He-111 vanishes after 10 Km

 

Detailed Description:  The HE-111 is much larger than the fighters and is clearly visible at 10 Km. As the render range is fixed at 10 Km the aircraft will disappear and reappear suddenly at that point. With more twin engined aircraft expected Ju88 etc the draw distance needs to be extended to avoid the sudden appearance of larger aircraft visible from much further distances.

This is NOT the same invisible plane issue reported previously but something different that is happening.

 

Brief description:  I believe the system has a bug that leaves ghosts of planes and/or the their artifacts.

 

Detailed description, conditions:  I spawned in an I-16 in the Wings of Liberty server on 10/16.  I was on comms with two other people who previously spawned from the same base but were in combat far from this airfield.  There was an aircraft engine running next to me however the plane was not there.  There was no dust/snow from the prop wash.  I began to record a track.  While starting my engine I heard the aircraft fire its weapons.  Previously, if a true invisible plane fired its weapons it became visible, this did not happen.  Right after the firing I heard one of the two ask the other if he had just fired on a bandit.  He acknowledged that he had.  I asked him if he could fire his weapons again, which he did, and again the "plane" next to me fired its weapons.  Too much to be a coincidence.

 

On other occasions I have seen multiple snow effects from prop wash but I have taxied through them and believe them to be remnants.  I was able to confirm this when I watched a person I was flying with land his aircraft and spawn out.  The snow effect stayed in place although his aircraft was gone.  I flew my entire mission and when i returned, the snow cloud effect was still there.

 

Additional assets (videos, screenshots, logs):  Track is available, contents of invisible plane log is below.

Brief description: During night hours the top of the view becomes significantly darker than the bottom of the view.

 

Detailed description:  During the night hours (only tested between 2200 and 0100) the top of the view is significantly darker than the bottom of the view. Not sure if this is intentional but it doesn't simulate anything because when the aircraft is inverted, the top 1/4 still has this darkened shader going on. You'll notice in the screenshots how when the view is angled downward, the horizon becomes incredibly darkened. When the view is adjusted to look higher, the horizon becomes brighter. When inverted, the same thing happens. Look skyward while inverted, and the top area is darkened. Look ground angle when inverted, and the horizon becomes brighter. So normal flight or inverted, the top half of the monitor becomes darkened while the bottom half is brighter.

 

Screenshots attached showing this odd shading effect. SSAO is off, tried with HDR on and off - no change.

Brief description: Random explosions and gunshot sounds are present on Stalingrad summer map 

 

Detailed Description: It's a bit strange to see the random/fake explosions on Stalingrad city in the summer... and if you zoom you can even hear ambient gunshots? There was no fighting in the city during the summer, so I think it makes sense to disable those effects at least for this season (or make it an option for mission builders).

Brief description: Tuzov airfield runway does not match in summer/autumn and winter seasons
 

Detailed description: The runway is a bit off for summer/autumn seasons compared to the old winter one. It's hard to build taxi routes that can be used in all seasons. It would be great if runway and taxi way positions would be identical for all seasons..

 

Note that there are other airfields with this problem (Tuzov is just one of them).

Brief description: Shadows/ground for some airfield structures are hardcoded for summer/autumn maps
 

Detailed description: It seems that with summer/autumn maps - the shadows for some caponier airfield structures are now part of the ground textures - and that means you cannot use your own caponiers/building on that spot and have to always use whatever matches the existing shadows.. they don't seem to add anything much compared with the same caponier without the hardcoded ground shadow effect - so I am not sure why this was done and why it is not present on winter season. This limits the creativity of Mission Builders that want to design/provide their own airfield details.

I fixed the issue by turning off SAAO, not sure if it a NVIDIA setting but if it is it should be default be turned off on AMD cards, in any case it breaks the experience.

 

Using HDR also breaks textures and AA on AMD cards.

Using HDR also breaks textures and AA on AMD cards.

I think HDR might be affected by the SSAO, I did test earlier and saw 100% it was affecting the textures but I had SSAO on at the time so HDR on it's own might not be negative.

Brief description: Discrepancy between interior and exterior view in pilot head tracking system.

Detailed description, conditions: In the game there is a feature seen from the beginning(EA) in most aircraft that is the link between cockpit headtracking and external(pilot head) view. You can see an example here

Han was flight testing the BF109E7 on the ground. You can see how the pilot's head is moving at the same time that Han's moving the head(in the cockpit) to different directions to check the external surfaces of the aircraft.

These feature is not present on some aircrafts: FW190A3 and HE111H6. The feature was missing from the beginning on the FW190A3. I'm not sure about the HE111H6 but I guess the feature was there at some point in the EA and later disabled/bugged.

Additional assets: Here you can check the attached screenshots that clearly show this small bug. First is a picture from a working aircraft showing the feature. The second one is the FW190 example and the later, the issue compared to other medium bomber.

Brief description: MiG-3 exterior 3d model and skin template.

Detailed description, conditions:
1. MiG-3 lower cowling is modeled as a half cylinder that angles up about halfway to the nose. It should be flat on bottom and sides and shaped more like a trapezoid where it meets the fuselage at the wing roots. It slopes upward toward the nose and turns into a round shape very close to the spinner.
2. The three small air intakes under the chin need to be moved forward toward the spinner.
3. The oil coolers stick out too far to the sides and should not be curved when viewed from above or below the nose.

4. The spinner is not pointed enough at the tip.
5. The starter tooth (comes with upgraded nose armaments) is too big, very low poly (you can get that in Il-2 '46), and has no teeth at all.


6. The default skin has a mistake under the chin/lower cowling area. When viewed from below there is a distinct kink in the demarcation lines. Those lines should be straight. For skinners to correct this problem, it is necessary to carry the upper cowling color all the way to the bottom of the lower cowling line in the skin template as well as color the tabs that stick out around the wing root intakes. The default skin is a paint scheme more common on early MiG-3 models. The demarcation lines on the cowling should run into the wing root intakes to look as if meeting the lines on the wing leading edge. The demarcation lines on the fuselage sides between the wing and elevator should be straight and cut across the red star.
Also the propeller should be bare metal with only the back side of blades painted black.


7. The small inert exhaust tubing has a small port to enter the cowling above the exhaust. You can see completely through the plane when you look at it.
