draconus Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 The other great idea is we should be able to put high res cockpit shadow and ignore the rest. +1 There were already votes for excluding cockpit texture settings from the rest. Cockpit is where we spend 100% time so we need it with high quality textures, lighting and shadows, while the outside is not that important.

Mustang Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 +1 either ditch the IC for shadows.lua or enable higher settings in options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer them to read some and continue using their valuable time for work instead of writing essays. You have workarounds that work if you instinst on using what is not available default in game, ie. options.lua - set shadows to "0".

Boris Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hmmm, I was looking for why cockpit shadows are so pixelated, even on high settings, and came across this thread.
