The rendering logic for [[AI]] aircraft has changed recently. Whether they are drawn or not now depends on their projected size on the screen and not on their distance. | |||
Please check these properties: | |||
Please check | * <code>/sim/rendering/static-lod/ai-range-model-pixel</code> (should be true) | ||
* /sim/rendering/static-lod/ai-range-model-pixel (should be true) | * <code>/sim/rendering/static-lod/ai-detailed</code> (should be 30) | ||
* /sim/rendering/static-lod/ai-detailed (should be 30) | With this configuration, AI aircraft bigger than 30 pixels on the screen should show up. | ||
With this configuration, AI aircraft bigger than | |||
{{Note|There are other factors in OpenSceneGraph that decide if the Paged LOD nodes get rendered. It may sometimes take a couple of minutes or some view panning for the models to pop up.}} | |||
