cargo shadow not working

[namman2 0]

I have a problem with almost every model i make , the shadow on the cargo area never works , it always uses the first shadow lod of the exterior

any help? the only named property i have in the view cargo and view cargo shadow is lodnoshadow = 1 and the other one autocenter=0

any suggestions?

as far as i've been able to tell its a game bug. Can't get it to work no matter what and all bis vehicles seem to be suffering from this too. I seem to also remember a CIT ticket about this but havnt been able to find it.

It's true. You can't use the viewcargo or viewpilot (etc) shadows.

If you have already made your cargo shadow LOD, you can copy it to a different p3d. In that p3d, have a blank LOD 0, and put your your cargo shadow LOD in Shadow LOD 0. Then, in your viewCargo LOD in your original p3d, point a proxy object to your new p3d. The shadow volume will then show, but only when you're in the cargo space.
