Hm, I'm running an nVidia GeForce 8600M GT from linux - unless the mobile version makes all the difference, that would argue against a graphics card issue (or maybe I'm missing something, I'm not a hardware specialist either...). > At one point I thought it was because of your code, as I remember > something > about a custom "culling" thing in there (maybe I remember wrong, or > understood something wrong). The code has an option 'asymmetric buffering' which does remove clouds from the scenery to improve performance. However, there are several reasons to think that this has nothing to do with what is observed: 1) 'asymmetric buffering' removes clouds in the backward hemisphere of the airplane, not of the view axis, i.e. you can turn the view to look into the rear of the plane and see the gap in the clouds. If the effect depends on the view axis, it must be something else. 2) 'asymmetric buffering' is off by default, it doesn't (ot at least it shouldn't) do anything unless you activate it 3) the effect of clouds (dis-)appearing when the view changes persists if all running Nasal code of Local Weather is terminated 4) the effect is somehow system dependent - I have never ever seen it, others never got rid of it. So unless there is a fairly developed conspiracy of bugs which somehow mixes plane orientation and view axis, improperly reads out options and keeps loops running despite a termination signal, it can't be related. * Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
