Stencil Shadow USE

Can anyone offer any advice on stencil shadows. I'd like to add it for under the trucks as the RW3 shadow isnt dark enough for my liking. just tell me what I need and I'll get it done. I know I need stencilshadow.fx, just need to know what values to put in, and if a plane will do or do need a box within the loco too.?

thanks

My understanding (and I am probably wrong) is that TSX no longer draws stencil shadows properly. This is one reason MadMike removed them from the Brindely GP7/15 and PH40.

I still use a softshadow texture on a plane under my equipment but no stencil shadow.

Shader is SubtractATexDiff and texture should be lighter where you want shade and darker where you want transparency.
