Yup, this one too. I did a small experiment very early on (i had the game for less than a week), i wanted to see which one can give me more FPS with less loss of visual quality: land detail or land shading?

In the end, i found out that lowering land detail is fine and gives me some FPS to spend on land shading. I think land detail has something to do with draw distance too (how far away from you the LOD transitions happen for the landscape) which means that only the far away landscape is degraded. Shading on the other hand seems to be a blanket effect and it affects all visible landscape.

So, i turned down land detail and in return for some blurriness across the horizon i could turn up land shading, shading is more important for navigating and depth perception anyway (especially when flying low).
