petermcleland 48 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I got the FSX Beaver working nicely in P3D today and took a few pics at Sitka:- Here is the Beaver...It was reluctant to turn in the water but a made a few adjustments and it seems OK now. The reflection shows a lack of buildings on the foreshore and there should be parts of the floats showing. Lifting the camera a little cause the aircraft reflection to vanish. Again there are no buildings reflecting. The wake and spray looks very good. Unstuck... ...and the reflection recaptured by lowering the camera angle. Here it is from ahead but note the lack of buildings in the reflection. All those trees the far side of Sitka runway should not be there... ...and nor should all that forested terrain below me...It should be Ocean! The scenery is Tongass Fjords and it looks just fine in FSX where it is installed but referenced here in P3D the Ocean is invaded by all this forrested terrain.

mutley 4,498 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hi Peter, Thanks for posting, they are fabulous shots, is the scenery you are using native FSX or FS9? Cheers Joe Link to post Share on other sites
petermcleland 48 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 It is Tongass Fjords for FSX and it looks normal in my FSX with the Ocean around Sitka. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Is there a way to make P3D aware of these things? I really think it's in our best long-term interests to try to do that. John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I agree John they may be using different shader technologies. Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,498 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Wow, I normally have that set to off, thanks for the heads up Peter. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 It may not come into play much unless you're flying a seaplane or doing something nautical. It's only in those situations that you're going to be in a postion to see those low-angle reflections. Flying land planes it might never be an issue. John Link to post Share on other sites
petermcleland 48 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I got it all properly migrated, including Bowerman with its moving people:- Thanks for looking Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 That is great looking scenery. John Link to post Share on other sites
petermcleland 48 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Ah now, thanks Peter, that's really useful. I have bathy off also as I don't fly subs You can have bathy unticked but the slider above it refers to reflections and you can have it to Everything...The slider below refers to Refraction and that goes up to Everything but it will be greyed out when you untick the Bathys box.
