Hello,  I have a problem with the graphics in my XP10 installation.

More specifically with the shadows. While everything else is rendered perfectly, graphics are crisp, etc. (specially with payware aircraft), the shadows are very very bad. TERRIBLE. Full of jaggies, and very distracting instead of adding to the sense of immersion.

From screenshots and videos I have seen, I know this is not the case and they should look good. I have already tried putting everything to the max to see if that would fix it but no (forget about FPS discusion, did it just to see if the shadow problem was fixed).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

My specs:

i7 4790K @4.4Ghz

Geforce 980 Ti

32GB RAM

XP10 is on it's own SSD

I think you'll actually need to turn *down* the rendering setting "shadow detail." Any of the global settings tend to have very jagged edges. Try 3D on aircraft for best results. I think this is a limitation of the current system.

Thanks, I tried all the different shadow modes and nothing changes (except the first too of course which takes them away...)
