Aircraft animation does not work on Linux

[ivlis]

It used to work before, but now the aircraft animation is just empty. The same is true for the alignment tool

I tried aur packaged version and the version from releases - the same bug.

After i selected the mixer - it worked. Is that expected?

Those animations use the 3D hardware on your graphics card. Did you recently update your GPU driver?

Or trying to use the proprietary Nvidia driver, so you have cuda?

I have an AMD GPU

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 32 [Radeon RX 7700 XT / 7800 XT] (rev c8)

It looks like that was compiled by distro about six weeks ago.
Do you know when it was updated on your system?

Last time i saw the aircraft working was before 09/13.

I'm also on wayland if that matters

[sensei-hacker]

So if I understand you correctly, you haven't seen it working correctly after the driver was updated on 9/13.

But it works if you click the Mixer tab first, then go back.

It might be interesting to check journalctl to see if there are any messages that appear relevant.
