Thanks so much for the mod, it rocks!
For the Exterior at the moment I use Farplane = 50, this will cast shadows 500 meters around the player, if you increase to Farplane = 60, this will cast shadows 600 meters around the player, therefore always adding a extra zero to the Farplane number you have chosen you will be aware about the actual range you shadows will have, I am waiting for the answer of the SH5 Ubisoft developer to know where is that (mysterious) SH5 resolution shadows setting which at the moment is removing all shadows above (or below) a specific resolution chosen by the Ubisoft developers when SH5 was released, hopefully this weekend he will be able to find where is that resolution setting

[Exterior]
FarPlane=50.0
ExtrudeCamera=22.0
DepthBias=0.00000015
DepthSlopeBias=2.0
Split0=0.10
Split1=0.33
Split2=1.00
FilterSizeSplit0=1.0
FilterSizeSplit1=1.0
FilterSizeSplit2=1.0

Cheers.
