Your question not clear. Give more details, step-by-step and screenshots.MrFunnybone wrote:Does anyone know why the shrinkwrap projection isn't working? It doesn't even try to wrap around the object whearas when I use the "nearest surface point" option it works.

It could be that the mesh you are trying to shrink-wrap doesn't have enough vertices to bend and wrap itself around the object.
Try cutting it up and try it again.
I think decaff covered it in his tutorial but just to mention it again, when you shrinkwrap you want to move the mesh as close the object as you can. Then enter the side view and try to get the vertices to align. This will give you a clean wrap and no "ghost" faces that cross each other.

Re: Random questions about anything NEAR and IN the realm of YSFlight
I've noticed a difference in how DirectX and OpenGL render large elevation grids.
The top image is DirectX and the lower OpenGL 2.
When your POV is at an acute angle to horizontal, OpenGL appears to make the elev. grid in front of any lower faces disappear, including polygons. It also makes some mountains appear transparent, and you only realise they're there once it's too late.
However, DirectX appears to be immune to this. Is there any sort of graphics card / YSF setting that might change this?

I remember the 2ch maps have some SAM sites that are invisible to radar. Might want to look into that.
