Title: (SOLVED) Ground Shadows - New Customer needs help
Post by: toby23 on October 03, 2010, 10:33:12 pm

Hi FSDreamteam.

Congratulations on your beautiful sceneries.
After trying a few airports, I just purchased KJFK and KFLL. (Order # ST84815167)
They look and perform beautifully, the only problem is no ground shadows for any aircraft.
I know this is a problem in some sceneries but I thought that you had fixed this?
Any ideas how I can get my ground shadows back?

UT2 ai traffic, FSX Acceleration, DX9, Win 7 64 bit.

Thanks for your help,
Toby

If you download the current version of the Addon Manager, it should fix the issue.

Thanks for your quick reply!

I already downloaded the addon manager but i still have this problem.
I actually got an error msg at start up after  installing informing me to download the addon mgr.

Any more ideas?
Everything else works fine, just no shadows at FSDreamteam airports...

thanks,
Toby

That message comes only if you haven't installed the updated Stand-Alone Addon Manager for FSX, that's why it tells you to download and install it.

Download and install the updated Stand-Alone from any "Info" page of any scenery, and it will fix this message and the shadow issue.

Do it as the last step, AFTER you have all sceneries installed, because they have to be updated as well by this installer, which can't update them if they are not there when you run it.
