It backs up exactly my experience, for which I didn't really have any evidence except for glancing at the in sim fps counter, where I started to see the slightest drop off at 8k on my old 1080Ti card. Not seen any graphical glitches at 6144. What did they look like? PS. What software is that? didn't try 6144, the glitches were in the shadows which moved with head movement, what is annoying 2048 is the maximum you can go to in the settings, why that should be I don't know as 4096 should be selectable at least (means remembering to change the usercfg after every update). I used the Caravan as that's the type of aircraft I fly most, can't say whether a more heavy jet liner would show more of a difference between the settings, even if it did I would bet it's negligible.

Yes it's the one he uses. And now I'm going to have to try some of these higher shadow settings. I never really messed with shadows, other than thru the user interface, although I have to say, the other day I saw a shadow dance across my VC and I thought it looked a bit grainy. I like my shadows like the bear's porridge -- juuuuust right -- where the shadow isn't too sharp/cardboard-cut-out but then not too grainy either.

You won't be disappointed Brett. 4096 or 6144 depending on your screen resolution. For 4k, I recommend 6144. It basically fixes them from the terrible shimmering / feathered edge effect. Some seem to have escaped the config setting though. Very occasionally I do still get the odd shimmery shadow in the cockpit. It seems to emanate from the wing braces on some GA aircraft like the Piper Xcub. Not sure why those shadows should be different. Just the usual MSFS strangeness I suppose.
