What Happened​

When in front of distant terrain, the RCS exhaust shows blocky, rectangular artifacting at its edges.

What Was Expected​

The RCS exhaust should have smooth edges, without any visible artifacting.

Reproduction Steps​

  1. Launch the game.
  2. Land on the surface of Earth (might happen on any planet, i only tested with Earth) in any craft with RCS thrusters.
  3. Turn on any of the RCS thrusters.
  4. Position the camera so that the exhaust of the RCS thruster is in front of some distant terrain.

Reproduction Rate​

This happens every time, as far as i can tell.

I'm aware of this, currently doing a pass changing how exhausts work and will address this soon
