That can't be right, the EE is way too inboard to leave that shadow.

You're absolutely correct. The shadow was actually the Ku band dish. Here's another with the dish in the stow position: https://www.dropbox.com/s/po15ydrvqheimdl/SSU_Orbiter_shadows2.jpg?dl=0
Yes, easy. This screenshot shows the effects nicely: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mu0vvzulh2t903k/SSU_D3D9Client30_shadowed.jpg?dl=0
Note the SRMS shadow on the left PLBD/radiator panels and the left wing. Also note the LOMS pod shadow on the left inboard elevon/seal panel.

In SLC-6 news, I'm still working on the MST after noting that the current one was a bit too short and the levels were off and not spaced evenly. To give you something here's a night shot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rm9x1kw15wr1g0n/SLC6_CloseUp3_night.jpg?dl=0
Compare it to this actual photo of Enterprise at SLC-6, also at night: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6q4ct1r7sliyef8/VAN-053B-19850300-04_DoD-photo.jpg?dl=0

Fixed. (I'll commit in a few minutes as, yet again, when I open the menu to commit, the Explorer freezes :facepalm
Also fixed the IAA opening when the MST was extended (maybe it could deploy, but what's the point?).
BTW: The terrain is all white and I get this message in the log Texture not found: SSU\slc6_org.dds. Also, the base mesh seems to be East of the structures (or the structures West of the base), and the building behind the PCR now shows up North of the SAB. Also, the MST moves so much that it hits the OAA and GVA, and the SAB hits the GVA... I'm not sure if this is another issue or if it is a result of the wrong positions mentioned above.
Thanks for fixing the issues. It seems like I had forgotten to check in the updated meshes that was supposed to be part of the first SLC-6 update (revision 2851). I have now checked in them so everything should be fine now.Fixed. (I'll commit in a few minutes as, yet again, when I open the menu to commit, the Explorer freezes :facepalm

Not bad 
This base would benefit from some serious terrain work, but that's not easy with the tools available.
And I don't think there's any publicly available high resolution altimetry data for active bases (for obvious reasons).

Hmmm. I must not have installed it right or missed something. Because the ground around is thru the base?
Doesn't look like you're using the latest revision that is in the SVN repository. You don't just install SSU v4.2 over Orbiter 2016 did you? You follow the instructions layed out in this thread if you want access to the still in work Orbiter 2016 SSU: https://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=30336
