Does anyone know how the shadows work for IL2 - im at a loss as to fix the spitfire shadow

Dont know if its the same for AC but I've just discovered (by omission) that the foreground colour in the alpha channel generates the ground shadow for buildings.

Hope it's that simple

Ranwers does this make some sense to you ?

if i removed the cannons from the mesh - would they dissapear from the shadow?

The shadow mesh would be a separate model. Depending on the naming convention used you may be able to spot it amongst all the other meshes. Do a search for "shadow" or "SH" or something like that? You would have to delete the offending part from the shadow model or it will still show up in the game, as far as I can work out.

.

By the way, it looks like the hooks are attached to the shadow model in this example.

I think - yes.
