Backdrop shadow problem

[Traincraft101]

All the backdrops I've tried are dark when facing away from the sun, are there any that don't do this or is there a way to fix it? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EbGByIWGOKPJD_U9x2g3psgo_tFw2j4s/view

Backdrops and shadows.

Is there a way to fix this? Good question. Some say that the shadow can be removed by editing the config.txt file. But I've not been able to do that successfully.

Are there any that don't? Despite an extensive search I've only been able to find one. It's an industrial background. Seen here at the beginning of the video:

If anyone can suggest others ... .

You can disable shadows to items in the config. This also works with items that are an alias since I needed shadows removed from the original item but didn't want to touch the actual item.
Basically the item needs to be at least 4.4 in order to enable the no shadow option and the 'does-cast-shadows' needs to be added under the mesh subcontainer followed by either a 0 or a 1.

Example:

mesh-table
{
default
{
mesh "asset_item.im"
auto-create 1
does-cast-shadows 0
}
}

Setting it to 0 will turn off the shadows while setting it to 1 will turn on the shadows.

Cheers
