About the last exemple the hook retracted stay along, outside, close to fuse. Casting shadow in that position is not useful (I found the same with B-17F gears components) when we extend the hook it clearly appears and its own shadow could be nice to activate. Everything in order to spare CPU. I will try now your updates Many thanks. -- Gerard _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
