[RESOLVED] Horizon(?) lines across some aircraft

Post by Jeanl2 »

ever since i reinstalled P3DV4.4 on my ssd i've had this issue where a line, which appears to be the horizon, goes through my aircraft:

But this doesn't happen with other aircraft like the A2A Bonanza:

Or the iFly 747:

I'd like to try and get a solution that doesn't involve reinstalling P3D, as i have a bunch of add-ons and it's going to be a pain to reinstall all of them

Hi Poppet,

Sorry for the late reply. I wasn't subscribed to the post and thought no one had posted a reply.
I tried what you suggested, however, the issue still persists. I tried to use time preview to see how it looked like on different times, and the issue completely disappears between 6:50 AM and 9:50 AM simulator time

Update:
I ended up biting the bullet and reinstalling P3D as a whole. the lines disappeared and everything was going nicely, and i thought that would be it for the lines, but i must truly have a curse because 2 days later, they are back. I really don't know what to do at this point, What is causing this!?!? I'm so frustrated because this is extremely annoying!

Hello,

Were any system configuration changes or add-ons installed recently?

Hello Rob,
Before the lines appeared, i was doing a flight from Anchorage to Hong Kong. I left the flight going through the night and when i came back, P3D had crashed. I thought oh well, guess i'll just do another flight, and thought i should update reshade. After updating reshade, i opened my aircraft list and the lines were there. I don't think it has something to do with reshade, though, because before reinstalling P3D, the lines were there even with no reshade, and i have now uninstalled reshade, but the lines are still there. I can give you a list of the addons i installed since i reinstalled P3D, if that helps

Guys, I'm still having this problem. Also, i just realized my F-16 is invisible, which leads me to think this has something to do with PBR.

With the recent update to V4.5, i've had the sim running perfectly for a few weeks now with no more horizon line. Problem solved! :)
