FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every Time.
Note: this was tested in SU3 v1.5.4.0, but may be occurring in earlier builds, so is being reported here rather than the #su3:su3-aircraft category.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- In Free Flight, select the Cirrus SR22. Select a parking spot at any airport during daylight hours with the clear skies weather preset.
Note: this was tested with the Zanzibar & Baja Turquoise liveries, but probably occurs for all liveries. - Remove the canopy cover.
- Change to showcase view (this also can be seen in external camera view).
- Focus on the aircraft registration. You may need to zoom in or out a bit to see the shadow .
- Open the weather widget.
- Change the time of day.
Notice the “shadow” of the aircraft registration which will vary position according to the time of day / position of the sun - see screenshots. These have been cropped to focus on the aircraft & better show the issue.
