The lighting problem has been fixed and the shadows are in since this morning. Shadow resolution is configurable in the preferences by changing /sim/rendering/shadows/map-size before starting fgfs.
I'll try to add a listener to make it settable at run-time. Next step will be to add lighting example in the repository. Martin: I know you prefer to handle shared model modification but I would like to commit a quick example : the apt-light model.
