Minor dynamic reflections issue

Post by rlaycock » Sat Jul 07, 2018 9:08 am

Hi
Firstly,
Thanks for the Turbo otter and the discount for original otter owners.

I do have one minor issue, the sim is P3D V4.3
I have strange white arcs across the front windscreen.
If I turn on dynamic reflections the arcs go away but I get a "water on oil effect"
If I then turn dynamo reflections off again all is well, until I restart the sim.

as I say not a show stopper however an annoyance.

Thanks in advance if you can help.

Best wishes
Bob

If you bought the original Otter from us, or are in the original otter forums, you are eligible for a discount.

check your spam mail... and ask doodlebug

For the windows, I am asking Dmi to add reflections in and we will "kill" the oil...

Hi
Did you guys look into this?
Please note
I still have the white arcs across the windshield when I first enter the sim with the turbo otter only. I can still remove them by turning on dynamic reflections entering the sim again then turning dynamic lighting off again.
Regards
Bob

The white arcs are normal. they are "fake" reflections.

If you wish to get rid of them, you may modify the glass_t.dds file.

I believe that making it lighter will get rid of them. But you can try both ways.

Yes, whitout screenshot we cant answer more precisely and we can guessing only.
Some strange lighter hue on windshield could be ..the shadow. Its normal in P3Dv4.
I didnt notice any problem here, could You put a picture? Did You install true glass?
The windshield has only light dirties on edges what looks very, very well.
