Postby Berserk » Thu Sep 29, 2005 2:14 pm

Hi

Few days ago my hard disk crash, so i must to reinstall all now use Win XP with SP2, i install the fs2004 and with some aircraft i've a big problem, for example with a ah-60L when the rotor is gyrating the aircraft have a rare shadow, is like is it is in the biggest lightning storm of the history, and the same problem with anothers aircraft since the tower view.
when i go to Options> settings> Display... and in the aircraft submenu i deactivate the "Aircraft Cast shadow" the problem gone but i lost the aircraft's shadow.

How can i fix this problem without deactivate the Aircraft Cast shadow?

Thanks

A bit rusty on this but plenty will correct me if I'm wrong. My understanding is that this would be a model texture thing.  The creator would have set the transparency of the textures of the 'disc' or 'blades' part - You should be able to change this using DXTBMP - & you'll need to read a texturing tutorial to see how it's done ....

Maybe you need to take a look at your PC graphics resolution? Drivers, etc?
