Good morning all!
I have but one question today, one that has been on my mind for now months and months on and off, but work and life have kept me away from Trainz.
Having another whirl again at 2019 after having gone back to TANE due to personal liking of colors, art, lighting, and assets that work. One problem I constantly had with 2019 and still due is the overall 'white sheet effect' the sun gives off, even with tweaked environmental settings, and the way shadows work on some older assets.
My question relates to the shadows and more so on certain locos, that happen to be Paid from JR. Gladly would/willing to fix myself, if just pointed in right direction into the config or making new mesh/lod/whatever may be given the tools and resources to do so!
The problem as seen here;

Issue seems to be the way 2019 does LODs and shadows. Closer you get to the loco, the more the shadows 'black out' and spaz and create aliasing / jaggies. Zoom out and the LOD appears to change and the problem effect goes away. This results in only being able to view the loco at certain angle and distance. This happens on C40-9W, 80MAC and 70ACE. Mostly in its 'exhaust' type sections of loco with fan vents.
Any way about solving this? This to me is a game breaking issue and would force me back to TANE right away if not fixable in 2019.
Settings are all maxed, Ultra Shadows, 8x AA, all the jazz maxed. Messing with AA or Shadows does not seem to make matters better or worse.
i7 6700k @ 4.5Ghz, 2070 Super, on 860 EVO and plenty of RAM.
Any help is loved and appreciated,
Thanks!
