[FIXED] Bug: Professional Plus Weapons Drawing. Z value problem. Weapons behind other objects [VIDEO]

[minime]

There is a bug that does not happen all the time, but will make weapons appear behind objects.

I am unable to replicate this at will, but it happens to me every day.

Thanks for the video, we'll look into the z ordering issue there.

Hi minime,



Do you see this issue with specific weapons and aircrafts? Unfortunately, there are quite a few things that could cause this. Do you see this issue with our internal vehicles or just third-party aircraft. You appear to be using stock weapons with the AI F-16, correct?

[minime]

Yes, this is the stock F-16 with a customized attachment.cfg and all stock weapons. Obviously I added a Panel folder to make it flyable.. the panel is from the stock F-35.

Everything I am testing with is stock. F-16, F-22, F-35. And I *think* I have seen it happen on all of the weapons I use, which you can see down there.



But the bug does not always happen. So its one of the hard to catch ones again. It only happens after I have flown a bit and tested something. But I am not coding anything that has to do with graphics or DirectX, just a gauge (which is GDI+) and an external instructor station that only uses SimConnect. So I doubt it has to do with my coding. Also I wasn't using the debugger when it happened, so its unlikely I dirtied it up.



Here is the file:

Hey minime -



This was actually a content issue in the F16 and some others and we have resolved them for the upcoming patch.

Ah very cool that's why I saw it rarely, I don't use the F-16 a lot. Good you found it, probably was not easy.
