The absence of terrain shadows causes floating object shadows...
New, WishlistPublic

Description

The terrain object doesn't cast shadows onto itself...
So when the sun is low this causes all other shadows to appear floating.
See attached pictures. {F25541} {F25542}

Here's a time laps showing terrain self shadowing...
Observe at 1:00 the shadows on the terrain in the distance being cast by the terrain in the foreground...

I noticed this since ArmA 2. Its probably done for performance reasons, but it looks really annoying. They can at least give us an option to enable it.
