    Dear Reiza developers,

    This is my first time posting on a forum in 50 years.

    First, I want to say that Automobilista 2 has become my favorite racing simulator. I previously spent a significant amount of time—nearly a year—fine-tuning the original Assetto Corsa to achieve an optimal experience. I recently tried Automobilista 2, and within just a few hours, my graphics and racing sensations felt fantastic—even more so than in Assetto Corsa.

    Since switching to VR in January, I find the immersion in AMS2 to be incredible. However, I have noticed an issue with tree cast shadows flickering on the track. I understand this may be a limitation of the Madness engine.

    If this flickering cannot be resolved, would it be possible to add an option to disable only the tree cast shadows while keeping the car shadows enabled? The lighting effects in the game are already excellent, and I believe the experience would still be very immersive without the tree shadows.

    Please let me know if this is something that could be integrated into a future update.

    seconded, that would be very helpful for VR users, the tree shadows can get quite messy
