Hi guys,

Just wondering is there any way to make the shadow of the wing visible from the wingview in the Virtual Cockpit view??

I've ticked the "Aircraft Cast Shadows" box and nothing is working.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

P.S I'm using FS2004

Thanks
Greg

FS9 does not cast shadows on to the aircrafts. Only on the ground. The aircraft only casts to it self some reflections.
This feature is only at the FSX.

Slight correction, in FS9 reflections are only simulated. The aircraft cannot reflect itself in FS9.

I believe it depents on the alpha channel of the textures of the a/c.
