It is not the first time that i post this issue. It was already a fault in the beta version of TSW, but it seems that DTG doesn’t think that this an important feature.
Please post a screenshot or at least describe the EXACT place and in which scenario and locomotive where this happens. I have yet to see this issue. I did not completely understand the term, and yes it has been there since the initial release.
Its simple, drive or walk trough a tunnel at daytime and check the cab or the outside of the train. It is fully illuminated by the ambient light. This bug is known by Dovetail since the beginning. As Matt explaines in his streams regularly, they have yet to find a good solution.
Can confirm - this bug is still a thing. Trains don't seem to properly accept "shadows" from tunnels, at least along Sand Patch.
