[84244] Shadows are not rendering correctly at higher settings

[Mayven]

I've attached two screenshots. The first is from RealFlight 9.5S and the second is from RealFlight Evolution DirectX 11 Beta. In both instances, the graphics settings are the same. Note the shadows under the fence. The beta version doesn't appear to be doing soft shadows.

Thanks for reporting this! I'm filing it in our issue tracking system and will update the thread title.

Soft shadow rendering is improved, though not necessarily final, as of version 10.00.066. Please check it out and let us know if you see the difference.

Soft Shadows are improved. nice work.

We made some additional improvements in version 10.00.070.

As mentioned in the release notes, this is an area where we chose to depart from the previous DX9 behavior and tune soft shadows to be better than what came before. As also mentioned in the release notes, soft shadows still have a number of issues, though the ones we're aware of also existed in DX9, so we are treating them as lower priority versus new rendering issues in DX11.
