I would like to see an adjustment setting for shadow lightness/darkness - whether the shadows are created by the atmosphere, terrain or objects. Ideally, this setting would be placed in the rendering controls along with the gamma and contrast controls.
All to often, I find shadows to be too dark; especially when rendering fake stones or objects. Adjusting global illumination doesn't seem to be the answer to the 'dark' shadows since it has an adverse effect on other elements of the scene.
I hope this issue would be addressed by Planetside.
