Flag:	UseTurretShadow
File(s):	Art(md).ini
Values:	Boolean values: yes or no, true or false, 1 or 0
Default:	no
Applicable to:	VehicleTypes
*Logic related to UseTurretShadow, as a whole or in part, is obsolete* in Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2 and/or Yuri's Revenge.**

Based on its description in art(md).ini, this flag would have enabled the use of turret shadow frames on a vehicle object shape. Unfortunately, this logic is defunct and the flag does nothing.

If the vehicle shape has turret frames, the game expects the respective shadow frames to be present, but those frames are not actually drawn in-game.

-Unfortunately SHP based vehicles with turrets can not render their turret shadow frames, though the .shp file itself expects there to be frames present for it. Observe the vanilla titan's lack of turret shadow.
