Apologies if this has been brought up before but I've trawled through the forum pages and not found this precise problem. I seem to have a minor issue with the taxiway bridges at LGAV in that, as I'm crossing them, there are no ground shadows cast by the aircraft; the shadows re-appear once on the other side. In every other respect, they seem to be absolutely spot on - the trains move underneath, the side railings are fine etc. A rather minor point, as I said, but it tends to spoil screenshots taken at that particular point. For the record, I had HSP's LGAV installed before this but I believe I have removed it completely. Perhaps some remaining file may be causing the trouble?

Thanks, anyway for a great piece of scenery; Athens holds a very special place in my heart and I've been flying there since the Hellenikon days!

The Bridge isn't a feature Microsoft provided in their SDK. It's a painfully difficult 'hack' which was tricky enough to get working this well without sloppy visual artefacts like other some other sceneries. The missing shadow is normal for FS9 I recall. FS9 is lucky the bridge works at all.

FSX might perform a little better but not perfect either. Sorry about that, if it was possible, I'd have done it.

George, thanks for the prompt reply - as long as I know it's not something I'm doing wrong, I'm content.
