Hello, This is a very unfortunate side effect when the cloud depth-sorting was introduced. I didn't notice it when I committed that patch at the time. Erik A workaround (but needed) is to delete the unneeded alphachannel of those buildings. That won't fix all problems (like the waves

Hi, Can anyone shed some light on the following question? Does JSBSim calculate elevator position and control hinge moments based on the general equation of motion, including inertial coupling, is described by Etkin( 1982 ), or do the FDMs simple accept the value provided via FG or a network
