The lap of classic luxury.

[Guest iholrf]

Just to point out to robains that many of us are working hard at producing quality freewarwe (or in my case open source) AC that will rival anything bought from a vendor. Maybe not in doodads, but in overall quality of experience and fun to fly. And with high framerates!My question is why some people choose to release a product as payware, thus seriously limiting their models addoption potential. Wide addoption of a quality free model is IMO is far more valuable in the long term than the limited revenue gained by the low sales volume of a typical small "third tier" vendor (who often have litte or no production or marketing history to boost interest).Anyway back on topic. So now I am running into the problem of applying shadows to guage faces that rotate or slide. Does the extended bitmap property extend to the 2d panel or am I stuck in 3d only for these?http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/121809.jpgCheersShad
