bug: sim sunset light pulsing
Eep Quirk Absolutely Relative Join date: 15 Dec 2004 Posts: 1,211	03-10-2006 06:36 Steps to reproduce the bug: Look at the sim sun as it rises/sets (about 30 mins before). Observed results: The lighting is inconsistent and unrealistic as the sun rises/sets. Terrain/objects glow and fade (pulsate) far too many times. Avatars blink/flicker. Expected results: Daylight should fade uniformly and gradually and not pulsate as the sun rises/sets.

If it's not consistent during dawn/dusk, it's probably not consistent during other times too, including at night (dark).

Not necessarily local light causing it. I don't turn local light on but I see the flickering too. _____________________ Lyrak Sleeper Custom Avatars and Clothing Specializes in Furry Avatars (Shapes, working on texturing skill)
