No one else is bothered by this?

Sure, was the first thing I noticed on starting with this aircraft, but given the time it takes to raise bug reports via Zendesk, I figured it would be well-reported that I didn’t need to.

I’m not sure if it happens with all avatars or just the one, but I’ve seen a few others mention it including in the post linked below. Also, my own screenshot below just to help your thread

Super fun first flight ridge soaring off the coast of Chile today, but noticed some visual issues with the canopy. It seems almost frosted due to reflections. [image] [canopy01] Sticking my head above the frosted canopy to see the difference this makes: [canopy02] This really kills the visuals in the scenery, and it also seems to be far less intrusive in the LS8-18. Flipping the Master switch causes the canopies to automatically close too, which is jarring during the shut down seque…

I think it’s that “Pilot 1” avatar. He’s a real trouble maker. Here he is in one of the T-6 Texans causing problems too:

Change the pilot avatar to “default” and this issue goes away.

On another note, does it bother anyone else how white or frosted appearing the canopy glass is on the DG-1001?

[PiperDriver0624]

Ja. Thanks for the advice. I’ll give that a try.

And yes. The frosted windows are also rather annoying.

[Mustang242Sqn]

Yes, the window reflections are sometimes frustrating. I have found the same in the C152 and C172 since release, especially in a turn. The reflection of the sky & clouds isn’t occluded by the roof or opposite wing. I’m not sure what the solution would be other than reducing the reflectivity of the inner window surfaces, but that might have other negative effects.

Bearing in mind it’s meant to be one bug per thread, the above examples may need splitting, or sending in as a Zendesk ticket.

Not that the trivial-but-somewhat-important C152 outside air temperature gauge has been fixed yet (though I didn’t check in SU11 yet), and that’s only been incorrect since release day! Patience is a virtue

Hwllo,

I have the same problem, heads through the Canopy at the DG1001.
I tried every Avator, without success, any ideas?

[PlayedMirror905]

Hello.
Me too.
I’m in the same situation. Any avatar is a giant. Please give me some advice.

Hi,

Tried the DG 1001 yesterday and it still has the same issue with the pilot’s head and feet sticking out of the glider.
Would have thought that after so long that this would have been fixed.
