monkie Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 At some point in the past, possibly it was BS1 I know I remember being able to see the rotor blade shadows on the nose of the aircraft while sitting in the cockpit. I am not seeing them with the most current version of BS2, complex shadows are on, is there something I missed or was the effect removed at some point?

Devrim Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 You're right. We can't see shadows from cockpit. But, there's also something odd from outside view. Blade shadows seem very short on the aircraft. May be they thought higher speed of blade. But as you say, we should see all balde's shadow in anyway.

monkie Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 I really liked seeing the blade shadow on the nose as seen from the cockpit, it gave a nice effect. Maybe it was annoying to some and it was removed? Sager Laptop, i7-6700k 4.00GHz, 16GB RAM, GTX 980M, 1920x1080, TIR 5, Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
159th_Falcon Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Maybe they just adjusted the size and shape of shadows to correspond better whit the angle of the sun vs the angle of the helicopter? BTW, when i was aboard some flights in various helicopters, i have never noticed shadows from the blades on its own airframe whit the rotor turning. Though, that may also be cause the weather over here sucks and its always cloudy.:D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] The keeper of all mathematical knowledge and the oracle of flight modeling.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karambiatos Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 well you can most definitely see shadows from the rotors when the sun is at the right angle. A 1000 flights, a 1000 crashes, perfect record. =&arrFilter_pf[gameversion]=&arrFilter_pf[filelang]=&arrFilter_pf[aircraft]=&arrFilter_DATE_CREATE_1_DAYS_TO_BACK=&sort_by_order=TIMESTAMP_X_DESC"] Check out my random mods and things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 The Graphics engine can only show shadows on one object at a time - in this case the cockpit.
