ISSUE DESCRIPTION
When zoomed in on Free Flight “menu”, water and ocean waves are very obvious. Whitecaps can be seen etc. They seem relatively accurate for the weather reported at the time. Waves are still visible as the camera pans down to the aircraft on loading. Immediately before the “Ready to Fly” button appears, the water reverts to an default no wave state if the water / wave data is thrown away.
Toggling between presets and live weather does not fix this. However, as soon as you go back to the menu and zoom in, waves can be seen again.
Weather settings: Live Weather
FREQUENY OF ISSUE
Every time, any location. SU2, all SU3 Beta versions to date, multiple systems tested.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
-
Select free flight
-
Go to a location near the ocean, zoom all the way in. Select a point near the ocean where the water looks rough.
-
Watch as the waves disappear as the flight loads.
