*What steps will reproduce the problem?*
1. Run FG

*What is the expected output? What do you see instead?*
There is a serious graphisc problem. See the attached screenshots.

*Any output in the console (black window)?*
Nothing unusual.

*What FlightGear version are you using (when using GIT version, please
mention date)?*
That problem occured together with the build 338. I guess this is because of the new OSG.

*What operating system and graphics card?*
WIN 7, ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3470

Is this with recent drivers?

Yes, the most recent drivers.

Other Ati users are not reporting the same issues, so I wonder in which direction this can be narrowed - specific to the 3470 card? I've used a 3870 on Mac without seeing this, but the drivers are different. Anyone else got a 3470 they can test?

Just tested on my ATI HD 5670 (Windows 7), works fine here.

@Tommi:
- did you recently update your drivers (and did the issue show up after that)? Sometimes it's better to use "old" drivers.
- what if you disable the shaders in the View > Rendering Options dialog?

Firstly, I used the old drivers and then updated to the recent one. There was no difference.
If I disable the shaders, there is also no difference, except of the clouds, which are 2D and are visible.

BTW, I would say, it is also highly probable that at least other cards from HD 3400 Series experience that problem as well.

Just one more comment.
Zakalawe & Gijs - have you tested that on last drivers 11.6? Or which one do you use?

Tommi - I'm on Mac, so my 'driver version' is hard to translate to yours, I think.

The effect is almost identical as for #386 - so circumstanced are somewhat different. But both are definitely OSG 3.0 related.

Issue #386 was fixed now. Still unsure if it's related, but since a fundamental issue with using OSG3 was fixed, and since the screenshots above almost look identical to those of #386, there's a chance this issue could be solved too.
Please test the very latest build (today) and check if it's still reproducible.
