Transparent Plane

Post by [email protected] »

Why can I see inside my C172 from the outside with a guy stuffed face down in the baggage compartment?

You’ve clipped into the aircraft. Move your Point of View back using the (-) key on your keyboard. The (+) key will then move it forward again until you find a good spot where you can’t see the passengers stored in the cargo compartment. I think it has to do with passengers needing to still be a part of the model even though you may have selected for no passengers, so they get stowed out of sight until you add them in again.

Thanks for the reply but I'm not that close. I see the same view in the Select Aircraft Window before I begin the flight.

Hello,

I assume this is with the 172 installed in P3Dv4 from previous posts. If so, please can you confirm which sub-version of P3Dv4 you're using? The 172 uses PBR so your installation must be updated to at least v4.4 standard which is when this feature was added. This includes both the "Client" and "Content" components.

If your P3D installation is already up to date, do you have any shader or camera mods installed?

Thanks,

Thanks for the info, but you didn't answer my other question.

If you can attach a screenshot of what you're seeing too, it may help to understand the issue.

Thanks for the picture maajr57 but please can you answer the question above above shader and camera mod programs and also give a little context on how this issue first presented itself.

For example, is this a new install of the 172, of did you change your P3Dv4 installation in some way at the time this problem appeared?

I had installed trial of FlyInside. I think maybe it turned off my HDR Lighting for VR. I enabled HDR and the problem is fixed!
Thanks for the help.
