[pasayten 4]

FYI, Looks like we will be getting another patch to fix a new bug in terrain shadows...

We found the issue with terrain shadow casting.  We changed some variable names in the terrain shader and missed a few entries.  Looking at it now, I'm a bit surprised the shader compiled.  It would best to keep terrain casting disabled until we can put out an update.

That's good news. I miss the ground shadows while flying low and slow through the mountains of BC. 

Bring it on, LM.

Please LM - don't make us do a recommended full install again!

That is not going to happen for a minor problem such as this - dont worry

Especially if it just to the shader source code, which is a text file.

Yeah, the most this will be is

 

1. Install Patch
2. Delete Shader Cache
3. Start Prepar3d

 

And they'll probably automate step 2 as part of running the patch.

Nice to see LM responding so quickly.

It is encouraging to see progress from LM, and a quick patch after a generally successful and well-received update. Good energy around P3D right now. I can feel its gravity sucking me in...

Good news indeed. Glad LM didn't go along with those who said this probably was how it was supposed to be.  ^_^

That's good news and for the faint-hearted ones: Don't worry, the patch will work also with you. :rolleyes:

Knew the issue was with the program and not my system. Looking forward to the patch.
