Title: Real shadows in the cockpit
Post by: moot 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.

 Can we give the pilot some cool top gun shades for the sun glare too? :lol

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

Damn console games...

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

Sorry I didn't get to answer this, didn't have a working version of Gtester on my machine again until today.

If you go through the sunrise/moonrise and set cycle, you'll see that the moon meshes with the horizon and terrain correctly, while the sun... well, doesn't, especially at altitude.

Might be your video settings, I have reflections of the sun in my cockpit.  Sunset is a pain actually when flying east.

and reflections on the canopy and dials. :D

What I mean is,

In Lock On you can see the reflection of the pilot in the canopy and other glass areas in the bird.
