Hills under Town disappear - F3

[EskimoJoe]

I was checking out the town offline, and decided to crash into the Cafe. Then on the ground, I went into F3 view mode to see the remains of my aircraft, and noticed the camera went though the ground as if it wasn't a solid object.

I managed to do this by panning down while viewing in F3. I went offline again to recreate this situation, it's 0130 and I figured pictures would be better than my slurred words in text form. These shots were taken at the town of field A1 on the ndisles map.

Just curious - Anyone at HTC make a note of this?

It's been that way for as long as I can remember.  As long as you don't find a hole to fall through I don't see a problem.

So there's no problem if a GV battle is raging inside town and someone decides to crash, F3, and let their buddies know if there's a tank around the next corner? Right.

Why would you want to?
You can just fly around the town and let your buddies know where the enemy is.

That's very clever.  You're much more underhanded than I.

Must be smoke.  It would obscure the view from above.  Hence, the view from below would be needed.

Earlier today I bailed out over town and went into the map room, fell into a hole and was then
trapped under the town while a battle raged above me.

My pistol was registering hit sprites on an nmy M3. Never got a chance to try it on an nmy trooper.
I could see everything going on above yet could not find a way out.
I did record vid of it.

Basically comes down to layers and having to build town on a second level so the map room can be below the perceived ground level. Used to see them alot in FPS like Ghost Recon and Joint Ops. Probably a transparency issue with the texture.

We can make those polygons double sided where you can't see through them.
