BETA PATCH v.1.08.18956 - Bug thread

[MegOhm]

This is a small one but there is no shadow of the canopy spring cable restraint in the BF109 E4...guessing this was hard one to get right so it was just nixed....but you guys are serious about realism...no?

See screen...yup altitude is 7800M errr 25,590 ft.. I struggled to get it there...and she did not want to do more.... I thought the ceiling was 33,800ft?

I think the canopy cable shadow missing is because its not actually a 3D object hence no shadow.
