• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

P3D v4 P3D polygons casting strange shadows onto themselves...

I noticed this slightly back in V2 but now in V4 it seems extra obvious. Whenever I have the vehicle set to receive shadows especially with a reflective material applied, I get these ugly jagged lines bordering the shaded side of objects. It almost looks like z-fighting within the object itself, but that doesn't make any sense because it is simply one spherical mesh with a single material applied.

Here are shots of a "test sphere" that I created to show the effect I'm describing. The second clean-looking one is without aircraft self-shadow, and the ugly one on top is with it enabled.

Is this an issue that's isolated to my machine, or have other designers here been experiencing the same thing? (I've noticed this in other aircraft as well as my own models.)
