P3Dv4 - Shadow adjustment

Featured Replies

Hello there,

Does anybody know if its possible to change the density of the casting shadows within P3Dv4.   Basically I'm trying to find the most realistic shadows for my system and would like to make them darker if possible.

Many thanks for any advice or suggestions

Cheers

You need PTA for that..

Thanks Gerard,

I've just had a quick look at PTA on the forums and after reading a post regarding Ground shadows I'll probably leave them alone for now.

many thanks

there are some settings in the .cfg file you could experiment with.:-

not used them myself, you may have to do some research on the settings values. edit this was for v3 so look if its still applies to v4.
