Anyone else noticing this in OR.

No Bridge Shadows when Dynamic Shadows and Shadows for all shapes are both checked.

Seems anything under the rails will not produce a shadow????

Also, the shape we are looking at is a track shape. The A1t70m7Bridge1.s shape.

I am very curious about this too, and i hope also we can add shadows for small obgjects like Human figures.

I have seen static people shadows, these seems to just be that no road or track piece can have a shadow.

Why does the automobile bridge have a shadow? Aren't both bridges a static shape?

[Rick-MONON]

The shape with the tracks is a tdb shape

The A1t70m7Bridge1.s shape

In the global folder........................

It only shows the rails with a shadow, not the bridge which is part of the track piece.

Thanks for the info. Always thought static shapes were all the same to MSTS.

My question would be: why does the Truss on the road bridge have a shadow, but not the traveled deck?

IIRC, track shapes rendered in MSTS only have a shadow if Dynamic Shadows are enabled. Their .SD file does not have a Shadow line.

Well, it is a track shape in the tdb, if you notice the picture, it does show rail shadows of the bridge.............but not the bridge.

The rail shadows are rendering by way of ORTS, from the track profile. Don't know if the database, and render engine that ORTS uses has the ability to read the shape file, and then render a shadow for the plate girders and Ties.

On the topic of the database, where is it? ORTS 1.3 is NOT rendering the concrete shapes that were available in TSection 44 Beta, let alone any of the other TSections after that, that were available before the 1.3 release.

I have a work around basically putting a static flat shape under the bridge. Of course thats a lot of bridges and world files to modify.
I also submitted a bug report on it.
