Lixma 06 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I've discovered an absolute show-stopper of a bug. ED must drop everything and fix this. DCS is literally un-playable because of this. Both Mustangs lose their tail shadow when using 'Flat' shadows. 'Default' is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lixma 06 Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Actually...to save starting another thread - if possible could the devs consider using 'projected' shadows for aircraft even if the player is using 'Flat' in the options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FragBum Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Yep bits of the aircraft shadow disappear from time to time especially in VR when following your shadows along the ground. :D Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment. Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.

Kokomakak Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Did you check your tail? your rudder could actually be missing...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team NineLine Posted February 11, 2019 ED Team Share Posted February 11, 2019 Were you using the rudder at the time? Being flat shadows might mean it dropped the shadow because the rudder was deflected, but thats just a swing in the dark. Flat shadows can do weird things.

Lixma 06 Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) I don't think the rudder was doing anything. I've noticed that even when 'flat' shadows are enabled aircraft will nevertheless use a projected ('default' style) shadow when passing over buildings, trees etc. It looks really good so I wonder why it can't be the same for the ground too? That way we can still use 'Flat' global setting and also have a great-looking aircraft shadow - minus the performance/aesthetic hit that 'default' shadow settings currently come with.

SMH Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 The pilot's head shadow disappears on the inner part of the wing too, but not the outer. On many aircraft, but definitely the WWII birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
