Happens everytime regardless of any damage being taken or orders to go back to base.

The first part (planes spawn on water) is known to us, but I don't understand the other part about SBD. Does it happen only in that mission or every time you use SBD?

It appears to be any plane with bombs as payload attacking the enemy carrier - TBF's, SBD's, F4U etc. As soon as they drop their ordnance they crashland in the water. It only happens on that one map - I tried on maps where the airbase was on land and they did not perform this behaviour. I have tried it with AAA and without but it makes no difference. It is as if their landing co-ordinates are not matching where the ships are.

Probably it's just a different manifestation of the same bug.
Thanks for reporting this.

S!

Noticed a bug/feature on the Spitfire Mk.IXc with 25lbs boost. The original thread is HERE for details. Thank you

G’day all, I have a graphics glitch that I think is related to 409m official

I have several games on this computer; 409m, UI 1.1.1, UI 1.2, HSFX 4.1 and UP 2.0.

The glitch only shows up in the 409m based games, (UI 1.1.1 / 1.2 Run perfect in maxed out settings).

Specs - XP / AMD Athlon 64 Processor 4000+ 2.41GHz / 2 GB RAM / NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT.

The problem – Parts of the aircraft are missing, (some panels, canopy framework, parts of the ordnance and gear structure), And depending on my view angle some ships and ground structures pop in and out, their shadow footprint is still visible but the object is gone. When I turn on my nav lights the glitch goes away,(only for my plane though), turn‘em off and the glitch comes back.

Been scouring the forums lookin for a fix and the only rumor I’ve heard is it could be AMD related.

Some samples –

Please clarify - do these artifacts appear with 4.09m vanilla running? Have you tested that?

To me your post indicates that you run 4.09 + UI and have these issues, but then I'd have to say ask the UI creators for that pack is more likely to have been the culprit there.

[Col. Hogan]

Yes, it happens with 4.09m vanilla. I tried several installs(DVD/408m/409m) and even several different 409m patches from different mirrors.

The thing that has me baffeld is that the two games that are 409b1m( UI 1.1.1 and UI 1.2) have zero issues.
