This process depends on the model setup but it should work for most aircraft with a few tweaks.

See [http://chateau-logic.com/content/flightgear-interior-shadow-cubemap-kit flightgear-interior-shadow-cubemap-kit] for a premade kit to create the cubemap and the .eff sample file to use it.

==== Important Notes ====


<b>Important note:</b> Currently (May 2015) the effect does not deal gracefully with child models included into the main model with offsets and/or rotations because these introduce a different coordinate system in which the shadow does not match. The general idea of a code solution is known, but not implemented. Right now this can only be addressed by explicitly positioning child models in the *.ac file and not using any offsets when including them.
