Real shadows in the cockpit
« on: June 03, 2009, 04:29:13 AM »
No idea how feasible it is.  It'd be really cool to have the new real-time shadows projected in the cockpit too: canopy bars, wings, etc.  Only in the player's cockpit obviously..

As an option in the gfx settings.... It would really be very cool for immersion.

Actually the ONLY game I've seen this in (BTW it's Beautiful!) is the new IL-2 game for consoles.

Damn console games...

I keep a pair of dollar store sunglasses next to the PC for this purpose.

How about a fix for the super-nova we call "the sun" in the game 1st?

Based on how the moon looks in the new terrain preview, I would say the sun will be fixed as well. It would be kind of silly if it wasn't...

Have you ever been outside?  Looked at the sun lately?  Man, it's kind of bright...isn't it.  :P
