Overlapping shadows Sky court
« on: December 31, 2016, 00:54:17 AM »
Hi!

I purchased your LHBP for FS2004 a few days ago. Great scenery btw.!

I have texture flickering on the ground where the shadow of the big Center Terminal building (I think its called Sky Court) which comes with the scenery is overlapping with the buildings shadow produced by FS (“scenery shadows” in the menu)
It looks as if there is another texture underneath shimmering through, but just where both shadows overlap
You can see it when you park at Gate 42 and look to the right.
Its gone when you deactivate scenery shadows in FS Menu

Is there a way of stopping the flickering without deactivating scenery shadows?

Thanks
Stefan

After a few tests, i figured out it only happens in Winter (when the shadows are larger) or at least the effect is in other seasons so small you don't see it...

Here you see the 2 types of shadows overlapping from above:


here you can see the flickering, parts of the shadow come and go (white area on ground):

Sorry I'm a little bit confused, is this now FS9?

Hello Lh-Team,

I have the same issue with this fs9 scenery as Stefan. Nice airport!
I hope this problem can be fixed.

Regards,
Thomas

Sorry guys. Indeed it is a bug which was not realised before. At LHBP we used so called "pre-baked" shadows, so the normal shadows in FS is not neccessary. We forgot to switch them off at these object. We will fix it later.
