boeingornotgoing Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 hi, on v11 beta 8, smp v4 when shadows on water are enabled- the shadows flash see video I disabled. shadows on smp water and it stopped HDR on x-plane itself has nothing to do with this as far as I can tell IMG_0202.m4v X-Plane Installer Log.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundog Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Can't seem to make this happen here. It looks more like cloud reflections that are flickering for you, not the shadows. Could you post an image of your rendering settings, weather settings, and your SMP settings so I can try to replicate this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundog Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Hm, I still can't get it to happen even with those exact settings. Can we see your log.txt? It might be some sort of interaction with some other third party add-on. Also, I think it's worth seeing if the issue still occurs while flying a default aircraft over default scenery. I could imagine some object in the scene messing up X-Plane's rendering. Edited January 21, 2017 by sundog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundog Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Just tried flying out of both Tallahassee and Chicago in the MD80 and still no luck in getting this to happen. However, your log.txt does reveal a huge number of issues with your X-Plane installation. You have a very old SASL plugin getting loaded from your F-15 aircraft that is known to cause problems, and countless conflicts arising from all of your custom scenery that you have installed. There are also indications of corrupt memory files being accessed in your log. It's not what you want to hear - but I think the next step is to install a new, clean X-Plane 11 into a new directory, install nothing but SMP to it, and see if the problem still occurs. If so, then it may be something specific to MacOS or your hardware configuration. SMP does "play by the rules" when it comes to shadows, so if we can narrow this down, we'll just have to file a bug with Laminar about it - especially if this just started in PB8 for you. Meanwhile we'll also keep our ears open for any similar reports from other users. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boeingornotgoing Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Thanks for your time looking into it, I did file a bug with Laminar. and for now, I will just do without water shadows, because the above ( and I agree) next step, is just too Time consuming with no guarantee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
