  Is possible to do that realist efect?

[Dinosbacsi]

I think the IL-2's engine can't do it =(

[HundertzehnGustav]

no. there can be no flat polygones for selfshadowing, everything must be made in Volume and to be closed in itself, there can be no open sides to the volume for selfshadowing to work.
The Modfeling technique is so different, that all cockpits must be redone.

,,,forget that idea. Il-2 is too old for that kind of thing.

No. I remember that someone asked that Oleg, he said (if I am remembering that correctly) that it can be done with some recoding in the game's graphic engine, but it would look bad and work bad. Especially because cockpit in IL2 is only 2D and a half, not full 3D, it means that you should not move too much left and right, and that big parts of cockpit are faked and empty (which we now know).

All old cockpits should be redone, as Hundert said. But maybe with new ones made properly, I would say "why not". Maybe someone can ask that DT, they probably know how.

LOL, even the ice-age old Crimson Skies had this feature

ahhhhh...crimson skies. call me eddie the head-hunter

if not for shadows, would COD do any better to 3d modellers? aka, reshape me110 engines? COD ones have very heavymetal exhaust pipes

Shadowing can work in IL2, in all cockpits with not bad results. The only thing that needs to be done is to enable the shadowing in IL2's engine. The feature IS there, it just needs someone that knows-how to Enable it.

Once someone enable it, we will all have a nice surprise A positive one. And i know exactly what i am talking about

You wouldn't happen to be talking about the new UP would you?
I have to admit my expectations are pretty high!

So now you say it... I'm getting alzheimer (may be...) or I saw many years ago some testing to include cockpits shadows in Il-2 that finally were not included? And I mean many many years before mods, lot of patches ago, probably before versión 4.01. Don't know but may I remember something like that...

S!
