RE: Shadow Module

Hi again,

I am in the process of populating my training sim with an avatar or two - and all is well with that. To ground them in the scene I am trying to implement shadows, which i have successfully done before in another scene (more by luck than judgement), however, than scene had a flat ground plane and was not as complex as this scene which is awash with physics.

The problem I am having is that the shadows don't always show up as the avatar walks across the scene, by that I mean that the shadow appears to disappear behind a poly as he walks down the incline and doesn't reappear! I have tried altering the SHADOW_POS variable - which seems to affect where and when it can be seen but never sort it.

My ground, while uneven (slopes down to road) is all one object and- as far as i can tell- is a 'water tight' mesh. Any ideas what is happening? Am i fundamentally misunderstanding the way that the shadow module works?

As always, all help gratefully received
