Did you relight the scene?

You need to make sure none of your DIFs are aligned to the Sun's X or Y axis. More specifically, if you have your Sun's azimuth 0, any DIF that has Z rotation 0, 90, 180 or -90 will not cast shadows, due to a possible divide by zero avoiding code somewhere. You either rotate all your DIFs, or change the Sun's azimuth to a value that is less likely to cause problems (I use 7 or 17, and elevation to 35 never had a DIF not cast shadows). Click the sun under SimGroup - MissionGroup top right window in the world editor then check the properties in the bottom right window the Sun azimuth and elevation.
