I usually fly in panoramas - in particular I like Neuburg/Danau. I just noticed how good the model shadows are as I fly over parked cars and fences. This must have been difficult to code, given the environment is ultimately drawn from a 2d image. Thanks for doing such a great job on it!
Great job! Cheers to the dev who did the shadows in panoramas in RC8 :)

There is a 3D model for each 2D panorama image which is used for collision and for shadows.
-
Behind this is the fact that these objects usually are defined as "obstacles".
Small pictures collected in a separate file.
Nevertheless a great job in any case.

Yes, shadows are applied to 3D objects placed on a plane of space visually corresponding to the position on the photo

The final result is really impressive - it is seamless really and adds a lot to the immersion of the sim. Thanks very much for your work.

Great work Jparia - I also downloaded some of your planes. The Extra with higher throws is really fun to fly. I’m looking forward to your new airfields.
Thanks for all the work you for us.
