paracords connecting bailed pilot to chute
« on: February 23, 2011, 01:35:35 PM »
When you bail out and look at the pilot under silk in F3 mode the cords connecting the pilot to the chute are visible when you are zoomed in but as you zoom out they disappear.

Small addition to trooper-based bugs; the model waiting to jump from the C-47 is the pilot one. May be intentional, but the oxygen mask looks odd. Also, the bailed pilot's fancy handgun animation stops working after he hits the ground. And the running troops have a really special way of holding their Thompsons.

OCD? Perfectionist? ...kinda.

cant see most of em. if I moved closer I would see more of em, a coupla hundred yards further back and they would all disappear.



edit: also bear in mind that AH in HD gives a resolution of about 2MP, the pic you posted was most likely taken on a DSLR so figure 6-12MP, and human eyesight has an effective resolution of about 500MP.

It turns out my detail settings were out of wack and that is why the cords disappeared so early when zooming out.
