Light visibility problem in multiplayer #414

Open gilbertohasnofb opened 9 years ago

gilbertohasnofb commented 9 years ago

In multiplayer and when using the cockpit view, the only light visible in other c172p is the landing light on the left wing, all others are invisible. This is happening only when there is the window glass in between the point of view and the lights of the other airplane; so for instance if we move the view point to outside the aircraft (still in cockpit view) then all the lights are visible once again.

@wlbragg could you have a look at this, as this is probably in your area of expertise?

@onox As to avoid adding more and more issues to the 3.6 release milestone in the last 24h to fix everything, and since this is a "minor" bug (in the sense it doesn't look terribly ugly nor does it break anything) I decided to add it to the 3.8 milestone. But feel free to change it if you think it's necessary.

while i agree with onox on this, i'm seeing more and more ways that the current MP protocol is too limited for so much of the data that we want to transmit for realism... currently it takes a lot of hacks for things to work... we really should look at the MP protocol and come up with some way of expanding it without hurting existing installations... not that this is a problem for this project but it is something that we might take the lead in...

sigh This has nothing to do with the MP protocol. The problem is that you can't see the lights when there's a piece of glass between the view position and the light. Please stop posting comments in every single issue that you see.
