I’m not sure if it’s been voted on yet, but I would like two suggest that the flight deck shadows need to be fixed. It’s a shame to have such a beautiful program and all other respects, and have such a low resolution shadows in the cockpit.

Thanks

You can increase the shadow resolution past the maximum limit in your Graphics settings if you want by editing the UserCFG.opt file using notepad.

Thanks, Neo. I’ve read about that and will try it.

This definitely needs more attention! There is an easy fix, so it should be simple for Asobo to add a simple setting.

Brute-forcing a higher shadow resolution helps but it is not the most efficient way to fix this problem. We don’t need greater than 2048 shadow map for objects on the ground. That’s just a waste of performance and VRAM.
