HornetAircraft Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 hello everyone. I came across this set of shaders developed for Combat Flight Simulator 3, which was the direct forerunner of FS2004. they use the d3d8.dll and somehow add cockpit shadows, aircraft shadows (it casts shadows on itself) and probably the coolest of all, cloud shadows. I have know idea if it is even possible, but if anyone here has any knowledge of editing and tweaking or knows somebody who knows this stuff, there may be a way to add these items for FS2004 and make it look closer to modern day sims. just a thought. if you know of anything you could do feel free to drop a comment. video showing the shaders: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSMR Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I'm guessing no. But if you want to drop a ship load of d3d8.dll's into your FS2004 folder, go for it. Let us know how it goes. :D If it blows up, like a CFS3 bomb dropped from a B-17, well, we can offer support here if you need it. :p https://fshub.io/airline/RUA/overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
