000BIGMAC000 Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) Just getting back into FC after a LOOOOOONG hiatus :) ..... I'm getting some really funky shadows, it's almost like some of the trees are extending from the ground up to high altitude and are about 10x the size they should be? very weird since I haven't changed anything since I uninstalled last...any thoughts? I have the simmod a-10 only thing diff. Edited September 4, 2008 by 000BIGMAC000
SuperKungFu Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 maybe you should post a screenshot and also your system specs. We can't help if we don't have any background info. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
000BIGMAC000 Posted September 4, 2008 Author Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) Okay I thought that I got everything fixed, but really it ONLY works fine when I have All Plannar shadows. If I switch to Full Shadows I get this: Straight on centerline view slightly off centerline view Edited September 4, 2008 by 000BIGMAC000
rattler Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think there is an issue with Full shadows.Has been from the start. I think. Not 100% sure. I have issues with Full. If I am wrong would someone please correct my thought on this. Thanks. rattler
SuperKungFu Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 yea lock on has problems on full shadows, better leave it on the second highest settings. Plus he's not using the correct sim-mod meinit which would explain all the missiles not lining up (among other things such as skins and numbers) And he still didn't tell us his system specs. So we can't really help with the tree thing. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I have the simmod a-10 only thing diff. Shadows and DX9 Nvidia video cards do not play nice. Usually full shadows is what gives your problems. That screenshot is awesome btw. Looks like an artists rendition of what he end of the world will look like.
000BIGMAC000 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) AMD athlon xp3200+, 1g RAM, 512mb Geforce 7600gs - extremeG drivers (can't remember which one off hand but I could look it up after work- think it's 160), win xp home. Usually get about 18-25 fps with settings using the config editor - res 1280x1024, and heat blur on, advanced fog, canopy scratches on, water medium, Okay I no longer have the trees or pylon issues. I reinstalled the mod. But I still get the black cockpit... it's weird because I can run Full shadows when I use any other aircraft with no issues, it's only when I switch to simmod A-10 that I have the problems. So i guess I could just switch back and forth from full to all plannar whenever I switch aircraft...I just think that there's got to be a solution to the prob...
