When you use the Alpha Channel for scenery is it possible to make no shadow appear for it?
(And I don't just mean turning the shodow option on/off
)

I remember discussing this with Ian, about his Twin Bases scenery. The Alpha makes the 2D trees transparent, and tree shaped, but the shadows are still the same 2D complete shapes. Nothing he could do about it. So the answer is no.

Same problem with e.g. the FMAI Mirages for which Graham made new variations by hiding the fuel tanks via the alpha channel.
On the shadow of those Mirages, the fuel tanks are still visible.

These alpha masking has even more negative effects when used in FSX. For that reason I have released the patches to the FSX texture fixes where I have removed all alpha masks.
