I thought so too, but it really screwed my DCS up. I uninstalled, reinstalled, changed all the settings, dropped them right down, cranked them right up. Changed them all individually to see what happened. Nothing worked.
For me in the Gazelle it made the shadows from the rotor blades appear to go through everything, it looked like there was water running over the outside of the perspex, it was awful. With the F-5E it warped the wings and made it unflyable.
I wish there was a way to turn it off permanently.
