Shadows on Elevated platforms

Featured Replies

I am building some helicopter-oriented scenery, and I noticed that low-altitude hardened platforms hide aircraft shadow for some reason. If the platform is elevated to 100 feet, the shadow is displayed without any problems. The Platform object is a simple, GMAX built pad in FS9. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this bizzare bug?

Hi Misho,It seems that the display of shadows on such platforms is not always constant. I have also seen that the shadow sometimes dissapears from a certain angle. I don't think there is much that can be done about it.

If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done.
