Shadows in 2024

With su2 out I decided Id give 2024 a try and see if it was ready to be my main sim.  One of the first things I noticed is the shadows dont seem as dark as in 2020, for example in the pmdg 777 the shadows inside of the engine cowlings look very bright compared to the dark shadows I had in 2024.  Is this normal or is there a setting somewhere to increase the range of the lighting.  It looks a bit washed out compared to 2020.

Do you have ray traced shadows enabled? Try with that off. 
 

personally I prefer ray traced shadows since it looks much more realistic (to my eyes) but yes it is different from the older sim.
