Land drawing distance
Posted: Sat Jul 17, 2021 2:07 pm
I have noticed an issue with the drawing distance of the landmass. Even when visibility is severely reduced, distant land is still visible.
The attached screenshot is taken with the camera positioned on the southern tip of the island of Santorini, facing Crete. The island of Crete is clearly visible, despite being over 115 km away. The visibility is only 10 km at the time of the screenshot. This issue appears only in certain directions, I believe it has to do with the sun being behind the affected landmass. It reminds me of an old Virtual Sailor/Vehicle Simulator weakness that mostly affected sunsets and sunrises, revealing pieces of land even if they were way beyond sight.
I am hoping Ilan will be able to eliminate this bug as it makes navigation much less realistic, having visual contact with terrain features that should not be visible.
