Description

I noticed today that the green "line of sight" line between my spacecraft and Kerbin goes below the horizon and cuts through the planet. Additionally, I see that the signal strength is still 100%, even though KSC cannot see the vehicle. I've attached a picture showing this. Looks like the issue is with the calculation for line of sight.

That is normal with options at their defaults.
You can adjust it in the in-game settings menus you get with the <Esc> key, 'Difficulty', 'Advanced', 'Occlusion'

A lot of players on the forum turn it up to 100% and you can read their initial reactions when this feature was new:
