Aircraft in the sky and on the ground will have this shadow problem

The plane in the sky and the ground will have this shadow problem and the picture will have a dividing line and then the shadow of the plane will appear on the clouds

I'm guessing this is an artifact of having SkyMaxx Pro cloud shadows active. You may want to de-activate that for the time being.

Thanks Cameron. I have the same issue with cloud shadows active (default value). I'll try to de-activate it for now.

That's pretty weird actually. Is there anything unusual about your setups (multi-monitors, VR, etc?) Might help me to reproduce this.

It is likely that both disabling cloud shadows and turning the cloud/terrain blending slider to 0 will work around it for now.

New theory: Are you running X-Plane in windowed mode, and increasing the size of the window after starting X-Plane?

That is what is happening to me, i use borderless gaming (which resizes the window after start to fullscreen and hides the windows decoration), i get those strange shadow artifacts.

OK, I'm thinking this is a side effect of the quick patch we made for version 5.0.1. Can I confirm that's the version everyone in this thread is seeing this under?

[David Lin]

Mine is 5.0.1.

5.0.1
