Default square shadows in APFD?

Hi
I don't suppose anyone has remedied the malardy of square shadows in AFPD?
Instead of being aircraft/heli shaped they are square. I have tried each individual setting in opengl, and can't improve over about 60FPS. So I can get full graphics quality, but inncorect shadows only........
Thanks
Regards Stuart

Default RE: square shadows in APFD?

Hi
I am using a laptop 1.8g 512 ram, no vid card. I get 60fps and can use full graphics quality. If I use my Reflex XTR, the shadows work fine in that. I am using a projector, so the image is 6 feet wide on the screen. Makes for very realistic flying whilst relaxed on the sofa.
I am using the latest intel drivers for the M/Board /vid set up, and it supports OpenGL.
Thanks
regards Stuart

It's your video card. You need something better then onboard.
