So this morning Im trying to do my usual morning run, and I make my turn to head east and where I used to see the hint of boats in boat club below I see this:
I saw the same kind of thing in Florida last week, where stuff that usually sits underwater was actaully sitting on the surface.
So Im kind of curious are they working on the server ‘live’ while we use it during the day?
Where did you depart from?
I’ll see if I can replicate it.
Burke lakefront Cleveland Ohio about 20 min ago…heading west, right after you clear the airstrip and to the left…
Reload the sim go back to that spot and now they’re sunken again … pricelesss
curiouser and curiouser lol
Yours is better than mine.
It was so snowy I couldn’t even find it.
I went to clear skies and tried again.
I finally found them, but all the small craft were much more submerged than your pics.
Go figure!
Unless manually put there, the sim does not currently model small boats/piers/marinas.
There’s a wishlist item;
Only in photogrammetry areas you’ll see some shape to them as @TheSevenflyer mentions.
Probably photogrammetry then because because I have no addon that does this.
No addons here either. PG was on, but it never does this except for that one time last week on the east coast of FLA.
Might be due to a difference in the water level between when the PG or satellite data was taken and what the sim renders as water level?
There is definitely an issue with water levels/photogrammetry, I really hope this gets sorted. As shown in the OPS post it can really make a dramatic visual when working correctly.
Thats how the photogrammetry works.
Some dock/pier boat scenery is painted on the water to look convincing from 5000+ feet up.
You all just noticing this?
The difference is, the boats have sunken further into the water!
I see this all the time. I flew the panama canal twice expecting to see ships going through the locks. I saw what look like container ships but they are submerged under water. I also fly a lot around Sydney, AUS and see a lot of what looks like boats submerged and cars that are driving below bridges. That was one thing I was hoping to see on the development roadmap and it wasn’t there as I know many others have reported this.
This has been since day one. took a floatplane up and landed on one of the northwest US lakes. Finally saw docks on the lakes flying unlike FSX. But got closer and the boats and docks seemed about 3 feet below the surface (maybe more). My thought that either the water sloped up on the shore near shore (which some saw) or that we had lake, ocean and river water levels too high. I can pull up onto the docks and get stuck sometimes. They are that close to the surface. Still not fixed
Perhaps related to the ground mesh having been refined by additional data downloads while you were flying? That could explain it.
Dont know the boats were there the 1st time I flew by above the water line, after a reboot and an hour time away from the area (which I have been flying since day one) they just sunk back down under the water.
Underwater = normal ways its been since day 1
Above the water = only seen a couple of times in a couple of different places…
So the question still stands, are they working on PG during the day (which would explain the terrible fps/lag) or
Is my network connection gotten better and now what Im seeing is what everyone should be seeing.
Okay todays weirdness…Start off in Adeleigh Aus. I get to the coast and I see this:
You can see where the ripples are close to the shore, they were animated this morning, it actually looked like the water was rolling into the shore ( no breakers though), I was here yesterday and it wasnt like this …
If you fly around the Norfolk, Va. area, you will see many instances of water covering sections of roadways and many of the U.S. Navy’s ships are in a severe state of disrepair! While it doesn’t keep you from flying, it really does take away from the reality factor.
waves depend on the wind.
Yeah I know that, the point was the way the waves are being depicted were different in that pic, then they normally are.
And the whole point of the thread is Are they working on the live servers while we play???
