Unlimited visibility gives very hard-edged shadows. If visibility is lower the shadows are softer. Personally, I don't like the shadows to be too hard edged, but I understand your problem.

The hard edged shadow effect is very obvious with CumulusX, which creates clouds at the top of thermals. The clouds are actual objects, not standard FSX clouds, and cast shadows. I noticed that with visibility set too high the shadows were very hard edged, not attractive at all. Other people complained about it too. I found out that with visibility set lower, the shadows looked a lot better.
