Title: Icons flicker when viewed through prop
Post by: gatso on October 22, 2003, 01:17:36 PM

As thread title says. View from cockpit of external F3 view, whenever icon is behind the 'visable' part of the prop (the semi transparent bit that is visable) the enemy icon dissapears. This causes it to flicker fairly rapidly.

Additionally the "P" above paratroopers is visable through aircraft in some situations, There is also a 'box' visable around the text... hard to describe I'll try and grab a scrrenshot of it.

Athlon XP1.6
768Mb PC2100
GF3 Ti200 128mb 41.09 Det drivers.
Win2000 Pro SP4
DX 9.0

All looks good otherwise :aok

the flickering thru prop went away with the patch, as did the balck boxes around icons... however icons themselves are kind of fuzzy, yeah.

Same here. Mine flicker through the prop and are fuzzy. I do have both AA and anisotropic filtering maxed though.

The prop on the p51-D sometimes seems to fade away, which causes the icon flicker to go away as well.  All the other fighters have this issue for me.

One more minor thing I've noticed:  Dropping paratroppers from the C47 in mid-air causes the paratropper to hit the plane and end the flight.  (At least it did in beta 1, haven't tried it yet in the new version.)
