Hi all.
I'm posting here, as well as AVSIM, so the thread doesn't get buried in AVSIM's many posts.
A queston came up about whether shadows can be defined separately from the object shape in dynamic objects. The answer is yes.
Here's "Dynamic_Shadow_Test.asm", which defines one dynamic library object using "Dynamic_Shadow_Test_0.asm" as the object and "Dynamic_Shadow_Test_1.asm" as the shadow. Any *_0.asm output from Gmax/MakeMDL FS2002 should work. The scale is assumed as 0.5 standard FS2002 Gmax output. That translates to 15 in the Super_Scale command... this object being a "radius" of 41... equaling 82 for that command. By "radius", I mean that it more accurately describes diameter.... the size of a box that would hold the object.
