odd shadow, graphic bug
« on: November 19, 2005, 05:24:57 PM »
Ocasionally I will see a dark "shadow" looking flicker in the top left part of my screen.  It takes up a good 1/4 of the screen, and it's only a quick FLASH.  

I noticed it, and it happened over and over, in fighter town, in the Southern field, taking off east, and flying east otd ish.

Mentioned it over Chn200 and had 1/2 dozen people tell me they were having it as well.

Thought it might have been my drivers, but now seems to be a graphic bug.

I'll work on getting a film if y'as need it.

yeah im getting it too. i think it's the shadow from off the trees. if you fly over trees at low level, they seem to reflect your shadow into the air as a hologram!

It's your planes shadow flying over the trees...

about the same path that the drones of bombers take when low to the ground (you'll notice they "jump" over obstacles)

getting the same thing here as well - -

I also see my shawdow jump up in front of my screen when flying low over trees.  Been like this all month.
Time's fun when you're having flies.
