Focus Shadow Distance
-
Hi all,
Any ideas what I need to tweak to get shadows to display correctly? It seems that only the aircraft I’m focused on (orbiting around) displays sharp shadows, with everything else really blurry. If it change around different airframes using the 8 key, then sometimes the shadow doesn’t change either.
In my falconbms.cfg file I’ve added these lines and played with some values, thus far to no avail.
set g_fFocusShadowRange 100.0
set g_fAreaShadowRange 2000.0
set g_fCockpitShadowRange 15.0 -
Wanted to ask exactly the same quite some time now!

Well I’ve been messing around with values, with no luck. Increasing the first value, set g_fFocusShadowRange, to say 500.0, results in a larger range as expected, but with overall lower resolution shadows. I’m not expect on shadow maps, so am making an assumption based on my experience, but it makes sense as I think the shadow is a defined resolution; just like blowing up a 1024x768 image on a photocopier, a fixed shadow size spread over a large area is going to result in bigger pixels, or a lower apparent resolution.
So my next question, is there a way I can increase the shadow resolution?
