Would it be possible to fix the (ground) shadow of the Bf109G? It has the square wing tip shadow of the Bf109E.
Bf109G Has Bf109E Wing Tip Shadow, Fix?

No. The E has a square wing tip. The G has a round wing tip.

I think you'll find, blacktwelve, Skunkmeister was saying ALL THE 109's in the game have the same SHADOW > Not wing shape....

Should I post pix? The Bf109e has a square wing tip and therefore a square shadow (wing tip) on the ground. The Bf109G has a round shadow (wing tip) but incorrectly has a square shadow on the ground. So I'm asking if that can be fixed? It's not the biggest error in IL2 but it is none-the-less an error.

I think it's just a 'generic' shadow for all the 109 series regardless of type. To be honest, I don't bother to admire my Spits shadow when I'm flying.. As I get closer to the ground and I'm on finals, I'm fully concentrating on my ability to land the aircraft.. The last thing I'm looking at is to check if the aircrafts shadow matches up... 'is it me?' :wink:

It's you, when i review tracks, i often get to look at shadows.
And a considerable amount of my flying time is in the 109, so i often get to see its ugly shadow.
When flying close to the ground, it's very visible. I also sometimes see my shadow when flying a normal mission low over the ground.
And BTW this shadow with square wing tips is badly made too. Its uncomparable to the other shadows of the newer planes in the game, which are much better.
If it's not possible to make a shadow with rounded wingtips for the Fs, Gs and Ks, it would be cool to at least improve the one we already have. It's so ugly that i need to say very often. :lol:

Oh c'mon mate.. look at all the shadows of all aircraft in game.. They are all crude.
For me, the shadow of an aircraft in game is so low on my list of priorities it doesn't even count.. I'd rather the modders spent more time improving my Spit or P-47 cockpit interior.. But as you said, that's just me.. I may have my priorities totaly wrong. :?
Thinking about it more, it may be possible to sort my Spits shadow rather than the Spit Vc's miserable and incorrect view, :mrgreen: :wink:
Hehehehe.. Just pulling your leg. I get the feeling maybe they haven't gone to town on the shadows because of FPS??

Heh heh.
Yes, i know my post was a little extreme, but for me it is directly under the sorting of the too high cockpit of the Spit Vc. :lol:
Besides the Spit has a rounded shadow too, why can't the 109 have one?
I'd rather be for rounded shadows for all 109s which is more fitting than the squared-off,
which is only correct for one subvariant out of 4 in the game.
And i dont think that nowadays' computers can't handle the improved shadows.
For me it's an important part of the game, however strange or rediculous that seems to be.
When flying low enough those shadows are always there and very often quite good visible.
Of course this thread was just a request for something like that, if it's not done now or even at
all I can live with that too.
It's just important for me. :wink:
