VC Shadows and PMDG 777?

[riccardo74 36]

So, in conclusion, there is non chance to add VC shadows to NGX or 777?

 

I activated properly in MD11 and works great, it's a shame NGX/777 don't support them.

Well, i am quite happy for the moment with the way FSX is performing and benefiting form the DX10 fixer

 

However, I am dissapointed that only the J41 benefits from the VC shadowing.

 

This is not just something nice too have. It will rapidly become an obligatory feature of any serious future aircraft addon now that there is no excuse anymore to ignore this with DX10 preview fixed in FSX, PRD3D with DX11 (and XP10 supports it too)

 

I really hope that PMDG finds a solution for their NGX, T7 and 747 V2

Sorry to wake up this old thread but I was pointed here by Steve after asking the same question about virtual cockpit shadows in the NGX.

 

Just wanted to ask if someone ever asked PMDG again if they could consider to look into this and if so what the answer was?

 

Really a pitty having such a great aircraft but no way to add this feature now available after the release of the DX10 Fixer.

OK, my eyesight isn't too good these days, but I sort of assumed that I was seeing "cockpit shadows" in the 777 with Steve's Fixer (examples ringed, below)?

 

Or are we talking about something different?   :mellow:

 

 

Cheers,

Cockpit shadows (in this context) are those cast by the airframe model itself onto the interior VC panel (i.e. the window frames, external probes, etc.).

Ah. OK — thanks for the clarification, Jason.   :smile:

 

Cheers,

Has anyone experienced  the CaptSim 777 instruments going blank in day mode with DX10 Scenery fixer General Shader  Shadows enabled.

[SteveFx 258]

Yes there has been a thread on it - disable Toned Shadows for now. You could now try 2.2 which is available - it has a change for a different Toned Shadows issue which might just change the behaviour in this case.

Hi friends,

 

I have VC shadows in 777 but in my opinion there are a little ragged (but only on some parts of cockipt). Look:

 

 

 

For example: on chairs looks ok, but on panels they don't.

 

Is it normal or settings problem?

 

My Fixer settings:

Improved Shadows - ticked

Reduced falloff with angle - unticked

Toned Shadows - ticked

Reduce Fade - ticked

HD Jet Shadows - ticked

Enable shadow boost - 50

Force VC Walls - ticked

Surface bias small - 0,04

Surface bias large - default

Contrast - 3rd line from left

This is common issue for 777 VC, i think

Sorry to revive this thread but after following the directions in scenery fixer, I was able to see shadows in the 777. IMO, they do not look blurry. Pics below.

 

 

Shadow from the arm rest on F/O's seat

Pretty obvious on this shot...

 

Anyway I'm glad I have it working and I suggest others try it out!

Anyone know how to get rid of these shadows, without getting rid of VC shadows? It seems they are coming from the "Overhead Panel".

Ric - have you enabled the "Force VC Walls" option on the Shadow Options page of the Fixer? That has worked for me.

I saw that option and wasn't sure, but now I will check it off, thanks.

Hello Pilots,

 

i have seen here in the post, the one in the PMDG 777 to use the VC shadow.

I see the Pictures ...........how can i do that ?

Who can write me a tutorial on how it works.

I try the whole evening but it does not work.
