I reinstalled the game recently and I'm having this weird issue with in-game lighting and shadows. It seems to only appear on planets and stations and causes the ships to be brightly lit with white cockpits. This is vanilla FL with only the unofficial 1.4 patch installed. Any idea on what might be causing this?

I have a similar issue, it only started showing up around a month ago or so. I've been unable to resolve it for myself and have no idea what might be causing it. Let me know if you find out any fixes.
Also, another thing that I noticed: no matter which settings you choose in the nvidia control panel, they will not work. The game doesn't even use the dedicated card for the game, no matter which setting you choose. Trying to make the game use the dedicated card in the windows graphics setting doesn't seem to do anything either. This is so bizarre.
The same shiet with shadows. Haven't checked NVIDIA forced settings for a long time, but about six months ago they definitely worked. Also, three weeks ago I didn't notice that there was something wrong with the lighting, btw. And during this time I haven't updated or changed absolutely anything in OS or DFL itself. It just happened. A-and of course
nobody broke anything. Again. It's just impossible, of course. It's our PCs to blame. Just like
here.
I am kinda convinced that one of the windows updates broke it. I am still extremely confused as to why the game refuses to use the dedicated GPU. I tried every option I could to force the game to use it with zero success. Oh, well. At least it looks fine in space. :/
