Hey everyone -does anyone know if there is a way to turn off in cockpit shadows on 4.5?? There was a box in video settings on 4.3, but for some reason they seem to have got rid of it!! - I don’t have a great machine and forcing to have them on makes the game unplayable as my laptop graphics card can’t handle them!!

Right now no. What are your specs?

Not great at all - I have a 2.8ghz i5 6th gen laptop processor, and a Nvidia 940mx (2gb gddr5). Although these aren't great, version 4.3 ran at 30-50fps using medium/high settings at 1080p (with cockpit shadows turned off), now I get 15 at 720p - low, so unplayable sadly. :(. I think even with shadows turned on I used to get 40fps at 720p - so I wonder if the changes have made it to heavy for my gpu - shame as I really enjoyed online!

Found a solution!! - For some reason my machine was running the game off integrated graphics automatically. All I have had to do is force it to run of my decidated GPU, and now getting much better FPS (dare I say better than before the patch!!)

Looks like they've done a great job! - Would still be nice to have back the 'turn off shadows' feature though! (for those of us running off laptops!) to eek out a few more FPS.

Funny, I don't remember that being an option before.

originally there was an option to remove all shadows in general but they got rid of it for some reason.

Could you please explain how you did that? I'm having problems getting the game to run at more than 5 FPS. The old game used to run at 60 FPS on the highest settings and I cant understand why 4.5 lags so much even on the lowest settings.
Intel core i7 2.6GHz x 8 CPUs
Nvidia 960M 4GB
8 GB RAM
There's a setting somewhere in Nvidia Control Panel to *force* usage of the card. A squad mate had the same problem. Sorry, can't reach him now for details.

Ah! Good to know. Could you make a screenshot of what you changed where? It could help others, who have the same problem.
