Funny you should mention the shade under the static airplanes dvj. Michael (MCDesigns) also brought that up to me, however, at the time I was working on an area that wasn't level, there were/are slight undulations in the terrain and actually not near as pronounced as the real thing. Those undulations made adding shadows very hit and miss since they need to be on a flat plane and I didn't have much of that at all. By turning shadows on in the sim, you get a nice feel for what it would look like, but it causes fps problems with some setups and the grass and shrubs cast flat shadows which look tacky. . .hence no shadows at all.This is just fantastic. Got my 2 wings out for this one and had a blast today. :salute::salute::salute: I think adding some shade under the static aircraft would be a plus, but I'm not complaining. Thank you for a remarkable contribution. dvj

One option I considered was to add shadowing directly on the ground texture, but decided against that since we were doing two versions of the Aerodrome. We would have had shadows on the ground where the aircraft would normally be parked during the "Off Season". The other thought was to have two ground textures, but as you can see if you check the size of the "photo01.bgl" in the scenery folder, it's over 300meg as it is. Adding another would have made the installed scenery close to 2gig. Ouch!! lolyeah, just tried with shadows = fps hit. And not much of an appearance improvement if any.

Nice work Falcon 409 and Golden Age Simulations :salute:
Spad54 and others,
I checked it, and the link is no different than the one you're using. I'm getting the database error as well. This is precisely why I hesitate and loathe when a user tries to set up an off-site download package. We have a server for a season, and direct links to files in the SOH database are the most reliable. If you upload here and can split the file into two parts, that would be a useful solution.
I don't think there is a way I can correct this one for you.
Spad54,
Hey, I just tried running a Google search for Golden Age Simulations, and my BitDefender flagged the website and blocked me from proceeding further. Any clues as to why? (I was trying to go to the site myself and nose around for a direct link...aside from the one Roger gave me in a PM) :isadizzy:
No reason why that should happen. We're hosted on Blue Host and have had no issues with them, their server or our website. Let me call them.
