Clouds shadows issue on some angles

Featured Replies

Nothing new but Im surpriced that this issue exists still (P3Dv4.5 ht2).

It concerns shadows below clouds (if this option is ticked in settings) especially.

In some angle with the same postion shadows are present and at some angles not.

Similar topic was on LM Forum: https://prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=125862

Any idea how to solve it? Is it possible to do something with this without turn off shadows below clouds? 😉

 

 This is not my video but I talk about this:

That is one of those "issues" that will most probably never be resolved, as it is a compromise between having cloud shadows but not a all to big performance impact. Means: for certain angles the engine "thinks" cloud shadows are anyway not seen, they are simply not rendered. The bug exists since cloud shadows were introduced...

Short: you can do nothing about this. Sadly...

Let's hope LM fix this bug in P3Dv5.

Nah. No fix in v5 sadly.

This pales in comparison to getting CTDs due to not enough vRAM. 😀

I haven't seen the issue on my flight in the 777 from KORD to KLAS but maybe with no weather I'm not seeing as many shadows as I should.
