Hi

 

Can I ask you to attach a short track replay showing it happen. 

 

When I test it seems fine, maybe I am missing something

Hi

 

the attached track replay is flying in the persain gulf in the dark, maybe the wrong track?

 

We have tried to reproduce and all seems ok, are you using any terrain mods / shader mods? 

 

can you try a full cleanup and repair for me or verify if a steam user

 

thank you

Thanks, @BIGNEWY  This is one for Area-51.  I have had terrain shadows turned off for weeks, and I have been wondering why my aircraft shadows were above ground sometimes, or below ground, or flashing on and off as I taxi along.  I also had track file recording disabled in my autoexec.cfg, but I turned it back on for this test.  I flew this one (attached) and saved the track, but you got a completely different mission.  Now, when I fly it, my shadows are gone, as per my settings.  I watched the track before attaching it this time. 🙂  Cannot reproduce.

I can reproduce this, but it seems to happen at the end of a mission.  I had no aircraft shadows at takeoff, but at landing I had shadows (but no sidewinders left to create shadows).  However, my aircraft shadows did some funky dancing as I rolled down the runway at Al Minhad at the end of the mission.

Thanks for the track, it still seems good to me. 

 

can attach your dcs log for me, let me know if you use any terrain or shader mods

I do believe this problem is from DCS's shadow rendering  strategy: When an object is off player's screen meaning that we dont see directly the object, its shadow doesn't render even if it shall be seen. Not only missiles and pylons, but also planes have this phenomenon.
