I noticed the shadows on the planes are more like the original WOFF's shadows that AnKor's distinct shadows in his mod.

Yes there are shadows. If you turn your plane into the sun and then away, you can see the shadows as they move across the plane. They are just not as distinct as Ankor makes them in his mod.

Nice Pics, nice plane, thank you Hellshade!

Panama Red, what you mean is on the pics taken with the sun somewhat obscured, I think, as the shadows in the cockpit are similar to the mod. If you have direct, bright sunlight, you have direct and distinct shadows on the airframe , aswell.

Would be a cool option to tune the shadows down less pronounced (similar to the original WOFF state) in the absence of direct sunlight for sure, but I don´t assume this is easily possible... Happy with the mod as it is, so far, far better than the other way around!

Ha, just found a simple solution to that, just deselect the mod inflight when flying in obscured conditions without direct sunlight by pressing insert with num lock on works- voila, only indirect shadows/lighting changes appear. You can reselect it anytime when the sun comes out again!

But, to be honest, I prefer AnKors shadows, even in diffuse conditions, and simply assume that there can always be some sunshine even in poor conditions...
