Notice how it gradually disappears when you zoom out.


If you view the last image in a new tab you can see it better.

yeah the top one is fine..as I zoom out you'll see the middle part of the engine cowling go..see other two screenshots.

I posted the top screenshot so you can see how it's there a that point but goes as you zoom out.

It's just the way the MipMap polygons were defined. You were not supposed to notice...

Not skin resolution but .mdl's of the aircraft.
What PR is saying is less detailed ones are used at a distance.

Its an artefact of WOffworld.

I kind of like it.

All the best

It's the way transparent objects are processed in CFS3, currently it is the way it is. Stop looking so hard and it's fine wink

The only work around is to make the spinning engines solid, which looks much worse close up which is much more important.
