I had the same problem when I had my horizon distance set to very far...with normal setting it should be ok...

Well you are spot on , reduced view distance to normal and all is good . I will look into why setting very high view causes this as i was getting great framerates and would like to have the further view distance , cheers for the tip .

After checking a few things i've managed to find a solution it seems . I cross checked the data ini files from my germany and israel terrains because the problem only happen on the germany terrain , i found a section of code in the israel terrain ini which was not present in the germany one so decided to copy it over and it worked great . I am now able to have very far horizon set with no strange shadows/clipping so in case anyone else finds themselfs in the same position i'll post the data i added to my germany data ini .

that's 08 level FX; is your WoE patched to 08? If so, if you extract the GermanyCE_data.ini, those lines should be listed. Along with some other improvements. (added to all -sf/wov/woe/woi by the 08 patches)

 

Safe to assume that's the stock terrain, and not an add on?

I too have said problem, exactly the same horizon.

This happens with all terrains.

Only with widesky but, for me, it's an acceptable trade-off as widesky is superb - especially on 'scattered'.

in that case I'll take it as a meteorological phenomena

I DL the new better widesky mod (may 3 2009) and it fixed the prob straight away......
