Shadow setting vs draw distance

Recommended Posts

This issue has existed for quite a while (at least since 10.30, maybe even before 10.20) and I'm wondering why it isn't getting fixed.

 

It seems moving the shadow quality setting to the highest ("Melt your GPU") actually reduces the draw distance compared to high:

The shadows do not disappear completely at the highest setting, but the draw distance becomes significantly lower. Also, it seems to only happen from the 3D cockpit view, while they look fine from external views.

Well someone must have done in the past 2-3 years...

 

Besides I filed a bug for the mis-aligned water reflections introduced around XP 10.10 - 10.20, and that was ignored.
