    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

A little problem with the Cessna Corvalis

FlameOut

SOH-CM-2026
I was finishing a flight in the Cessna Corvalis last night and as I was viewing in the external view, I saw this problem with the prop spinner.

Now I ask, is it a texture problem, a light in the background problem, a DLSS problem, Direct X, or a Nvidia driver problem?

Did we not have this type of problem back in FSX where the prop would disappear while flying through clouds and Steve's Direct X 10 program fixed it.

Now you see me, now you don't!

Just checking again to rule out gremlins, yep the same thing this morning and the photogrammetry buildings look better,

I think the prop's spinner disappears due to the light field behind it or it could be the shiny chrome paint on it. Would it not happen if the spinner were a grey or black color?

.... and below, if you look closely, you can just barely see the prop's spinner.

If I remember correctly, that happened in other sims over the years. Back then, it was usually a texture problem where the outside was textured, but not the inside. I think the alpha settings back then could also rain on the parade if done incorrectly. Like I said, it has been many years since I messed with this.
