Please Help me with this graphics issue

Hi Mr, Blue,

I have tried to explain it here:

Official Discussion: Hotfix 1.18.15.0

This can only be fixed with DX12 I learned. The issue is this: when a part of the plane blocks part of, say, a building, then the shadow of that building cannot be drawn at that moment. Only when the whole object is in view, the shadow gets drawn completely. Seems to be an issue in any game without ray tracing. Pop in is a different thing, so I learned too. This is a lod-related issue, like complete buildings coming into view too late. I hope that I’m summarizing correctly here.

Nothing to do about this right now. Try flying out of London City to Heathrow in the c172 and look to the left. You’ll see this effect also with the reflections of the buildings in the water. When part of the plane blocks the building, that part of the reflection or shadow can’t be drawn.
People told me that every game with DX11 has this issue.

And here’s the post by someone who explains it better:

Hey, excellent observation ! Most people do not catch such stuff. Anyway, it’s also a type of culling, called the occlusion culling. In this case, the airplane is the occluder. The algorithm can be really finely tweaked, so they set how much percent of an object has to be occluded in order for the culling to ensue, the LODs that the culling process will use, etc. There is even larger issue than textures in regards to the sim and the parts that required optimization - that is …

Best!
