Camera Casting Shadow Glitch
« on: August 12, 2014, 11:56:30 AM »
Hello again guys, I am here to report a shadow bug in Alpha 8.3.

Steps:
1. Open a Solar System Simulation.
2. Zoom into Chaos(or any planet).
3. In the preview window find a black circle/shadow.
4. Zoom in and out and the black circle changes size as if the player camera was casting the shadow in the planet.

Any problems with the output_log download and/or the video, please send me a PM.

I've already reported it via the feedback feature of the application. It's easy to find, the shadow appears always in the point that is the furthest to the source of light in the main view, and only when the lighting mode is auto.

Do not feel sorry, the more times a bug is reported, the easier can be replicated and corrected! ;D (At least, i think so)
