So I followed the instructions on the wiki.
It looks good, but when ever I get above 24 meters agl, the shadow disappears, as can be seen in this screenie it is in progress of going away here:
Is there any way to set it to work at higher altitudes?
Secondly, there is some part of the shadow volume that seems to not having got the black color: (around engine)
If I make the volume single-sided the artifact goes away, but then I also cannot see the shadow from the nozzle.
Also the shadow seems to be pitch black all the time, in the 172p is is grey, so I must have done something wrong.
The shadow volume only has 2 objects, the plane and the droptank. It is double sided and has no textures attached.
