hey TonyD
yeah my settings are close to what you've posted...have you tried lowering the ShadowMapSize=5....I've tried a value of 4 and it softens the shadows and actually looks more realistic imo....at 3 the shadows are really reduced but then also have a wavy appearance to them...but right now I'm using 5 cause I'm not sure if it's a good thing to do or not...don't want to upset the game

G.50 @ Medium settings click me
Br.20 @ High settings click me too

Links point each to a series of screenshots that start with the Video Options interface so you can see what settings were used.

Screenshots are completely unedited.
Taken with Howie's Quick Screen Capture set to snap a shot of the active window every 60 sec (yes, I discarded a lot of pics)

The 'weird' (extremely wide) resolution is the result of playing on 3 monitors (highly recommended)

Both configurations, medium and high settings are playable on my rig (specs below), but I eventually decided to go for the medium settings because at high settings the sim would slightly stutter when flying low over towns and when there are many aircraft around. Medium settings are totally playable in any situation (so far...). No stuttering at all.
