Where does the water go?

Postby Alexander M Zoltai » Thu Jan 07, 2010 2:03 pm

As I approach bodies of water--lakes and ponds, not seas--I can see them but as I get closer--oh, say about a couple miles away--they disappear!

What's up?
I fly a Rockwell AC-500...

Can you post screenies of this?

Do you use addon mesh?

If so, you may be seeing "blue streaks" that are actually mesh errors.

cheers,
Joe

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
