Shadows setting for SC massive performance effect

[T-Pap]

Have been testing various options and settings with SC and there appears to be a massive performance hit the moment Shadows are set above Flat, however , the effect on resources and system is the same whether you choose low medium or high . There appears to be no inbetween setting resource wise and all settings drain the same performance .

 

With shadows on low-medium or high , fps on deck is between 20-32 fluctuating constantly .

The moment aircraft is airborne , fps hits a 90 and drops as low as 45 when looking inside cockpit.

 

With shadoes on flat (and even raising textures or other settings to try and make a performance impact) , on deck fps is steady at 45 and again in air 90 with a drop to 45 when looking around cockpit.

 

At night though , the SC island lights on deck don't cast shadows on crew like day time does however performance is same .

 

Shadow setting only appears to affect SC performance .
