Post by: Aquatayne on June 21, 2005, 05:33:16 am

i think iv found a bug with FS open 3.65 with certain settings, after u jump in2 subspace, it leaves an outline of the ship and its still flying. after ur ship goes through, it is still goin at entry speed but only a faint outline ill give u the settings after i get my FS copy workin again.

Try to get a picture too.

Just in case you didn't know how.

How can I take screenshots?

Press PrintScreen. The game will take a screenshot and save it in your Freespace folder. (Some OpenGL builds of FS2_Open save the file elsewhere but if you hunt around you should find it).

I had something like this with my old GF2MX.  A friend of mine had this prob too with his GF4MX.  It had something to do with the clipping plane or the Z-buffer or whatever.  You'll notice it with some ships, but not with others (couldn't nail it down).  You'll also notice glowmaps still being visible on ships before they completely warp in/out.  Basically, if this is the same problem, you're pretty much stuck with it until you upgrade your video card... unless Bob's Materials system can somehow miraculously overcome this.

Seen it before, too; using another build sometimes works. Then again, it might be because i'm using the 3.6.6 VPs. The thing that I saw happen was the ship would go through and it'd be visible to a certain point, when it would disappear.

it's any ship with glow mapps and yes the materials system would be able to solve this problem, one way or another.
