shadows appear to be in mid-air
« on: April 01, 2010, 11:07:02 PM »
a few different times when fliyng over a hill i notice that when the shadow of the plane reaches the top of the hill, it continues to go up some before going down. i noticed this alot while flying the Ar234. when i fly it over a hill, it kinda looks like the sillouhette of a commercial jet taking off. also noticed this with the jug, f4u, and all 109's. i do use the low-res graphics option, but idk if that would even be a factor. this is minor but none the less something to look at in my opinion

I've had this occasionally myself, not sure which planes, but I know I've seen it in a Yak and the B-25H.
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.
