In OR screenshots I've seen all kinds of items casting shadows, but I only ever see shadows cast by the train itself.
Is there an easy way to change this ?
(Am liking the new dymanic shadows though in the new release)

Under normal conditions, OR only creates shadows for objects defined to create shadows in the MSTS RE/data files, which will mean scenery shadowing levels vary by route. If you wish to make everything (and I do mean everything) create shadows, you can set a hidden option.
To set: Open Registry Editor and navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OpenRails\ORTS" in the tree on the left. Either through "Edit" menu or right-clicking empty space on the right side, select "New" and then "DWORD (32-bit) Value". Enter "ShadowAllShapes" as the name. Double-click it to edit the value and enter "1" as the value.
To remove: Open Registry Editor and navigate the tree as before. Either set the value of "ShadowAllShapes" to "0" or delete the "ShadowAllShapes" item entirely.

Excellent that works perfectly.
Just for reference, the FPS hit on my system appears minimal
With all Shadows on I'm getting 31 FPS at a fixed point and without it only about 51 in the same location.

Now, this was a handy little tid bit of information. Thanks, James.:I-Agree:
