Clouds disappearing with less zoom

cristianodesa · February 26, 2024 at 8:55 AM

Hello guys,

Some days ago my AF (PC) started to present a weird bug.

The clouds are disappearing when I reduce the zoom. They disappear completely. I need to fly with too much zoom for my taste so that I dont lose the clouds.

Any suggestions on how to solve it?

Thank you very much

I've tried to downgrade my graphic card driver but still the issue persists. Also it happens sometimes depending on camera angle.

What graphics card and CPU do you use? Do you fly in VR or on regular desktop? At what screen resolution?

Have you tried both the OpenGL and Vulkan renderer, if it makes a difference?

Have you tried window mode and full screen?

Hello Jan,

Thank you once again for your support.

I use a GTX 1660 Super and CPU is a Xeon 2667 V4. 16gb RAM

No VR.

OpenGL or Vulkan have no difference.

Window or full screen makes no difference as well.

That is the first time I have this issue. It was the first time I fly after the recent update with the 737 Max (but it happened used the A320).

I will make more tests and let you know. Not a big issue...

Thanks. Is there any camera in particular where it happens more frequently?

Solved. I just deleted the main file and it is fine now.

Thank you

Okay, I would not have expected that. The main.mcf doesn't usually impact rendering apart from the settings already available in the sim.

I still have the old one if you want to check. I needed to change the extension to txt in order to upload here.

Edit: The place is causing the issue. Indeed nothing related to the main file (graphic settings). I supposed was the main file because it changed the starting airport then I tested on another place.
ENTC airport the issue happens.
Oslo happens but needs less zoom. Then tested in Rennes and no bug. So it depends on the scenery.

The problem reported seems to be fairly similar to the one i had earlier, like the wavy/glitchy buildings, the clouds also became wavy/glitchy but it will stop after i zoomed in to the point where I couldn't do anything in the cockpit, when i first started experiencing this problem, the very next day an update came out that completely resolved this issue, till this day, i don't have this issue anymore. So my question is, do you think the the issue with the buildings can be resolved with an update too?

Understand that the problem with the buildings and objects weren't present in the early days of Aerofly fs global, so how can it be a problem with android? I know android has some crappy 3d drivers but the sim was a charm after it was released, to my knowledge an update somewhere broke something.

Ps. I'm aware you told me its likely a problem with the depth buffer.
