Well done...third shot is wonderful...

[andy190]

Great shots.

[Clem Wu]

Nice pictures!

[Fozzer]

Wonderful shots... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

The second pic is interesting, as I mentioned in another thread regarding the absence of "Sunshine" on the scenery...

Note that the aircraft is bathed in brilliant sunshine, but it is not represented in the scenery down below!

Something must be done to the M$ scenery!... ... ...!

Paul...a little ray of sunshine, on a dreary day!... ...!

The scenery down below has the sunshine, but the ground is deep green and the trees are very dark. Their shadows are clearly visible too. In my opinion, this shot is the best of the serie, and I don't see any need to edit the excellent OrbX textures at all

From my excursions above in the local Clubs Cessna 152, (I use it to compare the difference between the Sim, and real life), I observe the contrast in "brightness" between any scenery in cloud shadow, and the scenery exposed to brilliant sunshine, the exposed ground and vegetation takes on a far brighter hue...almost bright yellow!

It is something which is not well replicated in the flight sim Autogen scenery and objects.

Clouds casting shadows on the ground, was something which was wished for, in various discussions regarding the sims.

Maybe it is not easy to achieve as it appears in real life!

On a clear, sunny day, the extreme brightness of the green grass, and buildings, in my back garden can clearly be observed when not in shadow.

That's when I am aware that it is a true; "Sunny Day!"... ...!

Paul.... 8-)...!

Indeed the FSX graphic engine is too limited to show the cloud shadows. That's one of the many advantages that XPlane 10 has on FSX, by the way. :/
It must be nice to take a look at the surrounding terrain while flying in a C152. On saturday, I tried doing that from a Pilatus PC-6 at 400 meters altitude. Unfortunately, the plexiglass windows were not so clean, with a lot of scratches too.... so we opened the door and jumped out of the plane. Then the view became fantastic

Thanks for the comments. All shadows are off 

No daube I have not tried the dammage mod yet..to scared.

link to the landing lights?

Don't be scared ! It's cool and you'll love the Caravan (and the C172, and the Baron) even more !
One advise though: before modifying anything, just create a backup copy of the main plane folder. I did this with Winrar for example, right click on the C208B folder (in FSX\Simobjects\Airplanes\), and "add to C208B.rar". Now I have three archives, containing my original, unmodified C172, Baron and C208. If I mess up anything with these planes, I won't need to perform any repair, I have my original files in the archives.
