hide86 Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Hi Guys, I got a little problem... Why aircraft shadows never appear on my pc, even if i got them enabled in the options and in the various aircraft inis? All fiiles are placed where they should, still nothing! Funniest thing, I Copied my install overwriting the oldone on a friend's pc and they work... Video card is a Radeon X600 128Mb (pretty old, I know it, don't kill meXD it's just a notebook...) res is 1440*900 all details on high...HELPPP!!! blink.gif BTW, if I use 32bit reolutions they work, but with a strange "vectored" effect, like I see semitransparent vector from my plane to its shadow on the ground, and there's no way to eliminate them...What could I do, anybody got ideas???

+Wrench Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Know issue with some cards (cough-radiactiveon-cough) and some aircraft. Best way is to open the ini of the aircraft in question (or all if needed) and do this (in our example below, it's our every-picked on Scooter) [shadow] CastShadow=FALSE <--this heeare line ShadowLOD=A-4E_shadow.shd ShadowType=1 ShadowCastDist=10000 MaxVisibleDistance=400 Change the TRUE to FALSE. The problem will vanish like... a shadow!!! (couldn't resist!!!) Wrench kevin stein Quote
hide86 Posted October 8, 2007 Author Posted October 8, 2007 Thank you Wrench, however I noticed that both shadow and "vectors" vanish by switching to a 16bit resolution (same res only 16 instead of 32 bits)... Is that normal or maybe there's something else wrong? What do you guys think? Thanks! hide Quote
Guest Sony Tuckson Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 shadows are transparent models, so most probably, 16 bits colours just don't handle that, so they simply dissapear in that mode 32 bits is a must Quote
