Hi Marc, This isn't a bug, rather it looked like it was working before because the problem was masked out, quite literally. Originally the OSG set turned on glAlphaFunc (osg::AlphaFunc) for both transparent and opaque bins, this allow objects dropped into the opaque bin to clip out fragments that had an alpha of 0.0.
According to NVidia docs on making effective use of early z culling of fragments one shouildn't use AlphaFunc for opaque objects, so I changed the OSG across to only enable AlphaFunc for the transparent bin. For a well conditioned database this won't result in any artifacts. However, if objects that shouldn't have been placed in the transparent bin, but instead were dropped in the opaque bin, the not only will the sort order be different but the AlphaFunc will be switched off, both of which you might be noticing.

Any progress on this bug? I don't know if it is the bug I'm seeing but it roughly started when I went to OSG 1.2 and appears to only show up with OpenFlight models. I noticed some strange transparency bugs as I went 1.2. Some objects that were totally transparent got half visible while other opaque objects would completely be culled off when they were going in the left most region of the FOV. Recently, I did some tests on another FLT model and some opaque objects would suddenly disappear when a transparent object would be in front of them. Here again, the opaque object disappearance is Dependant on its position in the field of view. If it is on the left of the FOV, it bugs, but will be fine other wise. Any thoughts and updates on the previously mentioned bug?
