dark textures

[terzer]

Hi, i'm trying to make textures for the interior, in zmodeler they look alright, pretty bright, but when i start the game (after importing the 2db) they look very dark. even on direct sunlight and without shadows... how can i fix this?

 

and another question: i see on other mods, that there is shadow casting in the interior. i made a D_CAST_I (with low poly interior shell) and there is shadow casting only on the floor of the car, not on the dash, steering wheel ect.

 

 

Thank You!

Don't look at the dash, its default texture without mapping

And here is the casting
