Acceleration Aircraft Shadows

Hey guys,I had to post this problem I'm having with my fresh new FSX Acceleration install.It seems reducing the visibility, will excessively fade the aircraft ground shadow.Take a look at the attached shots. For me, I need the shadow for some visual depth. I can't enjoy a landing replay without a shadow. I think Microsoft have done a very very poor job adding this feature. I'm sure they meant well but just fading the hard edge shadow to simulate some diffuse lighting is disappointing.Does anyone know how to turn this feature off???A hack or tweak. Id rather have my shadows back over any of the improvements in SP2.Cheers,George
