With a carefully designed light volume and well tune attenuation
parameters, the hard edges will disappear after some iterations.
Thanks for the input here and on youtube. I tried your tips and

The cost of shadows is the difference in fps between night and day, as
shadow rendering is disabled at night.

The phase of the moon is pretty much just the angle difference between the
sun light vector and the moon light vector. small angle = crescent moon,
zero angle = solar eclipse, 45 degree angle = 1/4 moon, 90 degree angle =
1/2 moon, 135 degree angle = 3/4 moon, 179 degree angle = full moon, 180
Hello,
Does anyone know whether FG is unique amongst desktop simulators in
offering this? I have no experience of X-Plane nor FS-X.
Yes, X-Plane 10 also makes use of deferred shading. They just named it Global
Lighting/HDR. Framerates aren't better there as in FGFS as now.
The difference is

Actually, what I wonder is, do we need the scenery cast shadows to be
calculated on each frame? Is there a way that they can be stored
and just updated every few minutes for static objects?

Hi All,
Rembrandt works well on my GT260M, and really moves FG's graphics on
massively. I think it's a fantastic enhancement to FG, and we should
really
consider naming the July/August release as v3.0.0.

It's possible to have two layers of shadow map to separate static and
dynamic things, but at a significant cost (you need the extra buffer,
and the memory bandwidth to sample it, ...). Probably not a win on the
kind of hardware that needs a speedup here.

Given the fact that QA on scenery models (shared as well as static

Can you imagine the task for USS Vinson?

The difference is only that landinglights there looks much smoother
