[84243] shadows from transparent objects cast full shadows on vehicles

Well-known member
when a shadow from a transpartent object is cast on to a vehicle the shadow is full opaque and does not referance the opacity of the object casting the shadow. when cast on a senery object it does referance the objects opacity.

note the inability to see the frame in the canopy's shadow on the wing but it is visable on the ground (picute from water pack lifegaurd spawn)

Same as the image above but at the default spawn for flight school.

Good find! It turns out this is not a new thing with DX11, but rather an existing limitation. I see the same behavior in RF 9.5S.

I am still filing a case on it, but it will be triaged through a different path, since it is not new. I am unsure of the feasibility of allowing transparency in self-shadowing, but we will investigate.

This is case 84243, for future reference.

not sure if this helps

it looks like it the material its self has a permanent transparent (another window) or uses ~ALPHA on the material
