Premise that I am very happy the beautiful model, but the latest version test I noticed a problem with the plane's shadow on the ground...
I try switch on the shadow ground, i look this defect:
If you turn on the shadow, it is observed that the shadow is on the level of the runway a few centimeters (10-20), by partially cutting the wheel landing gear. I did some tests (LIME, LOWI, KSFO) and noted that the problem with changing the angle of the sun relative to the ground. I do not know if these shadows using the same algorithm of the shadows inside the aircraft (which works very well), however, the problem appears to be related to a problem of calculation or reference points. I have included some photos changing the color of the shadow from black to red using GIMP.
I tried with the C172P, the problem occurs only with the dark shadow, but in the latest versions shadow has become more clear (I think it is derived from the system to get the shadows inside) and in this case the problem does not occur .
I think it might be useful to change the generation of the shadow with the new method used for C172P.
This is the Extra 500 over LIME airport concrete:
This is the Extra 500 over LIME airport grass, in the event of an accident or an abnormal position of the aircraft, the behavior is abnormal shadow:
I noticed that the effect is very evident by observing the shadow intersected with the wheels of the landing gear, seen from the underground, in this case the tests I did on the runway at San Francisco Int (KSFO)
