QUESTION for Hitech, or any one else

[Animl-AW]

OK, back to the film viewer issue       

Has anyone else come across a film with the issues in the picture and tried my fix of uploading/downloading it to see if it fixed it? Curious to know if its a fix, or just how my computer is doing it.

I could be wrong, according to some I always am, but,…

I’m failing to understand how upload and DL could have that effect, IF it is. Basically, its the same as copying a file and pasting it to another folder. If you do that with a pic, it doesn’t come back with dots on it. So quite baffled.

I have seen, in FV, both levitating, underground objects and tiles, and very specific tiles missing.

In my BoB video I could not use any scene that showed terrain over a specific port because that land tile was missing. That did not come and go. Same thing with GVs buried in a hill. This is FV only.

That said, I have copied and pasted a file to another folder and the copy gets corrupt, OR didn’t like running from that folder. Never took time to figure it out.

I do remember an issue that required opening the file from within FV instead of dbl clicking it (file association).

I also know that some things not right if fast forwarding to another time in the file, some things like FX don’t fire, voice backs up and it plays everything you past up in FF.

A file with any ship or base gun will crash.

I SUSPECT certain changes in game do not transfer to FV. Could be the order scripts run, may be difference in scripts if dbl clicked or open from within. If the is a button script it MAY be bypassed if dbl clicked. We’re guessing.

We no longer get cockpits of other planes.

I again suspect correct elevation data is missing or wrong for that tile placement. Opening another time or way a script table gets corrected. Why I say which script runs last >?<

Again, baffled how copying/upload a file changes it. Does it matter which OS is running? Shouldn’t

Something tells me the FV hasn’t seen work since it was made. Guessing.

HT has a pattern of making rounds on Weds, hopefully he chimes in. Something tells me it may require a phone call. I’m not so sure he wants to touch FV, it may open a can of worms. It would be helpful for promotions tho.

Do my mean the interior textures like the player's plane? You need to be in the player's plane cockpit view and then you can jump to another player's plane and see the proper interior. if you jump to another player in external view and then switch to internal, you'll get a smudgy mess.

We have never had the ability to see another player's gauge readings or their gunsight. Nor have we ever had their head movements.

I’ll have to experiment with what you said. I could have sworn in earlier days, the beginning, we could see gauges working in other planes. The failure may be my memory. I did take 12-14 yr break so ya, memory could be corrected.

Making Bob i did notice something similar to what you stated in 111s clear, not clear, depending how you get there.

I just think this issue requires HT.

Different approaches could reorganize which script runs last and how the data populates a table, if used.

Center point seems to be elevations, and how its acquired. Still, totally guessing. But my past programming tends to make that my first target to confirm. Process of elimination.

Now I’m wondering, in thus case, if its using the elevation of last prior placed base tile.
Mi should shut it, because I’m flying blind.
