Cloud Shadows

[Twotonemurphy]

Hi All, is there anyway to increase the darkness of cloud shadows? Ive noticed that if I move the slider to 100 it has a negative impact inside the aircraft making all the panels too dark (like they are fogged out).

I cant seem to get the ground shadows dark enough. They are working but very light

I added the below to see if its a limitation with 11.50b4

It has to do with HDR mode. If you lower your graphics settings to a non-HDR setting, cloud shadows will appear darker. They way X-Plane's lighting system works internally in HDR mode doesn't allow us complete control over how dark the cloud shadows are, but we make them as dark as we possibly can.

There are also some special cases, such as if haze is present, where we intentionally make the shadows less prominent. But it looks like visibility is good in your screen shot, so I don't think it's that.
