Shadows

Additionally, when I select Dynamic Shadows, they do not display correctly. For an example, a shadow displays below a tree and on an adjacent track-bed but not on an embankment or cutting between these two locations. Can this be corrected?

Your problem may be related to a problem I had where Dynamic Shadows were not rendering on a station platform.
Here's a picture of the problem and what I did to fix it.

So it looks like shadows are dependent on how the object is constructed.
There's no standard for modelling for OR or MSTS that I know of so when I see a glitch like in the picture I just correct it.
I think posted a question here asking for and got advice how to correct but can't remember when.

It's not an issue for me... I modified the SU exporter to use Texdiff on .bmp files when I noticed the original code treated .tga files as-if they were going to be transparencies no matter what and so I now only use .bmp files for art that will be opaque.

What route is this?
Are these real embankments, as in the terrain has been cut/modified, or is the embankment a separate model of an embankment?

Same answer David . . . Look into the shape file for that embankment and tell us what shaders are used. Then change it like I did the platform object.
