That's just because the shutter speed is matching up exactly with the flapping of its wings, like a metal hummingbird.

It's just politely letting the other plane go past, like a proper gentleplane..

Your render distance might be set too low, either turn it up or approach closer to see that plane move properly.
Yeah it looks like the plane was loaded, but its in the classic starfish pose as the animations haven't loaded yet. I recommend updating your driver, or at least directing him to a better airport.
Try unplugging it from the airport and plugging it back in.
That's the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, right?
yeah this is definitely the approach path for SFO.
Probably because it's a fake airplane someone edited in there.
No, it's because the camera moves around the plane with the right speed to keep it in the same spot as the background from the camera. You can still see that the plane moves, but it's subtle.
I agree. The plane is moving, but the camera's movement and the relative speeds of the two planes makes it harder to see. If you scrub quickly through the video it's easier to see it moving forwards and downwards.
It moves but still seems way too slow. Perhaps there's a really strong headwind slowing it down?
It's probably coming in for a landing. I assume there's an airport just past the river out of frame.
There is, it's San Francisco airport, and that's the bay.
The plane does cross the bridge.
Oh, do you have the original video without the plane?
They forgot to add a shadow. Bridge casts a pretty strong shadow showing the sun almost straight up in the sky but nothing from the plane. I have seen smaller propeller planes balance out with wind speed but a jet would need quite the wind and the water is also not that stormy
No. The shadow is on the left out of frame. Look at the shadow from the bridge.
The plane is also banked, it's turning.
This means as the camera moves around the plane we continue to see the plane from same angle - this adds to the illusion since it makes the plane look much further away.
To me it looks like the shadow from the bridge is a lot more vertical than would be needed to cast an airplane shadow off frame. To truly figure it out this would require tracking some points to find out where the plane actually is in relation and measuring its size against cars on the bridge. Way too much effort. Need Captain Disillusion
The sun is at an angle, check the bridge shadow again. It's almost 45° from the bridge position. Makes sense we can't see the plane shadow.
This is just parallax messing with our perspective. Scrub quickly and you'll see it's moving. It's slower since it's coming in for a landing at SFO.
Packet loss that terrible again?
