Have you found that the 360 Snapshot project viewer updated to version 6.2.4.529111 work Inara? It fails for me… and is much worse than the last version which seemed to be nearly there. Water surface and some terrain patches as well as a lot of the surrounding contents well within the view distance doe snot show in the 360deg snapshots…

I’ve not tried it yet. It is supposed to be a parity update to bring it into line with the latest release viewer, with no specific changes to the 360 snaphot capability – but we’ve obviously seen some rendering changes in that time. might they be causing issues, I wonder?
