Cockpit shadows

Any object in the cockpit would be able to cast or receive shadows. This depends on the location of the sun shining through the cockpit windows. At the moment the cockpit looks a bit flat, this feature would make it more dynamic.

P3D is a well known example of using this and it looks absolutely STUNNING.
Here’s an example of this in the PMDG 777

Actually a nice feature :)

Though I’d recommend not to show the other sim as an example…

As nice as this would be, it would be a similar case to projecting lading and taxi lights. The different shades of the same texture would have to constantly be re-mapped in the different shade.

I like the idea, all for it, but I dont think it would work for a phone.
