Thank you for the info , the dynamic shadows (and self shadowing) of the SH3 flags were very immersive showing nice "waving goodbye" shadows moving synchronised/simultaneously with the flags. SH5 shadows have a number of problems, for the moment I will try to sort out the UZO (binocular/pedestal) problem

Unless someone finds a way to tweak the game shaders so that dat objects can cast/receive shadows, or deciphers GR2 animations enabling us to create GR2 flags, ship flags will never have shadows
