Fuselage shadow cast in wrong position at wrong time

I verified that we get a shadow when we shouldn't:

but min is still dark. However, I am pretty sure I have seen the white one before.under the perfect condition.

Unless Thorsten is willing to look at the shader, about all we can do is put a time condition on the shadow.

What would be the best condition to use for this, sun angle, time?

i don't know if you know it or not but there is also work being done, slowly, on having the moon as a light source which should lead to shadows being able to be cast by it... i don't think any of this code is in fgfs yet, though...

[wlbragg]

Yes I was aware.

Any suggestions?

Time and sun angle so as to account for the different angles at the same time over the seasons. Remember that 20:00 is still pretty light out in the summer but is pretty dark in the winter. Though I may be partially mixing that up with daylight saving time.
