Object shadows disappearing when switching lods is a persistent bug  for quite a while. Will this be adressed with the next (shadow-) update?

So that's what's been going on!

So first of all, loving the new shadowing system.
Some bugs though:
1) Low FPS, huge performance drop. I can`t tell what it is, but its not tree ot terrain shadows, neither the AO (all these have a 3 FPS impact, more or less)

2) Some tree shadows are way off! (And its not because its a billboard tree. Most of the trees have way less offset from their shadows)

3)Getting a freeze when changing locations in space. I can only look at stars (earth`s gone!) and get this really cool effect!

Not so much of a frame-rate hit for me as a rhythmic hitch. I'm going along fine then there's a hitch, then fine, then a hitch. Its very regular, again and again like a heartbeat.

Planes are spawning in almost directly reversed from the direction you are facing when you hit the spawn button.  :P

The performance problem seems to be related to trees. One thing is that tree range is too high, not taking resolution and terrain quality into account. Also the shadow culling for trees apparently produces even tiles that do not contribute to shadows now.

Good, I understood half of this text! Too many trees = Got it! ::)

Not sure what the issue is. Tree shadows seem to be fine on the sides but not appearing nearly as much out in front. Strangely enough, maxing my settings seemed to make things smoother.......

Another thing I noticed: the 'wake foam' for ships seems to be missing. Is this intentional?

Since the latest version, planes spawn in all kind of directions. They were all supposed to face the runway but spawned facing left and right. Vehicle and boats spawn ok.

I've been going into "objects" and rotating them back the right way, then flying.

Which is how I noticed that moving an object up and down has had its direction reversed.  ;D

I was in a jet, the Mig, and exited mid air. Once I had exited the plane kept flying as expected. Though what was strange was the sound of the jet engine at full throttle was still present no matter what other vehicle I entered. Can anyone else confirm this issue?

Some inconsistencies with shadows/tree shading in stereoscopic and rift modes:
At certain viewing angles shadows disappear. When moving it looks like flashing shadows.
Shadow lod switch is quite prominent.
At screen edges are occassionally lit areas where shadows should be.
AO has disparities with left and right view at certain angles.
Tree shading sometimes flickers.

I found, trees actually do receive shadows. Nice!
