Shadows floating when light source is behind the landscape
New, WishlistPublic

Description

When running along in the forest on the side of a hill, if the Sun or Moon is on the other side of that hill, your character still casts a shadow despite the hill being in the way of the light and as the surface below you is correctly not casting any shadows, this results in floating shadows on trees and objects. I've attached screenshots displaying the issue, which is something I noticed in Arma 2 as well. The final screenshot 00022 probably shows it best. {F28310} {F28311} {F28312} {F28313}

Steps To Reproduce

Stand on the side of a hill, with the Sun or Moon on the other side of the hill so that it cannot be seen from your position. There should not be a shadow cast except by the hill itself, however the player's shadow is still cast on objects as though the hill were not there.
