Warning the Dynamic Shadows feature are a Frame Per Second (FPS) killer, Pintea (one of the UBI developers) told me that the "HighResolution=1536" setting has a max roof of 5000, I try to increase that number above 5000 and the FPS are reduced even more. Another way to increase the Dynamic Shadows resolution is to to reduce the FarPlane and ExtrudeCamera numbers but this unbalance the settings and the shadows disappear in some areas. At the moment I still dont understand fully the behaviour of each of the shadows settings

[Shadows]
NumCascades=3
LowResolution=1024
HighResolution=1536

[Interior]
FarPlane=1.0
ExtrudeCamera=5.0
DepthBias=0.0005
DepthSlopeBias=1.0
Split0=0.06
Split1=0.25
Split2=1.0
FilterSizeSplit0=1
FilterSizeSplit1=1
FilterSizeSplit2=1

[Bridge]
FarPlane=15.0
ExtrudeCamera=12.0
DepthBias=0.002
DepthSlopeBias=2.0
Split0=0.07
Split1=0.3
Split2=1.0
FilterSizeSplit0=2
FilterSizeSplit1=1
FilterSizeSplit2=1

[Exterior]
FarPlane=160.0
ExtrudeCamera=50.0
DepthBias=0.0015
DepthSlopeBias=1.0
Split0=0.1
Split1=0.33
Split2=1.0
FilterSizeSplit0=2
FilterSizeSplit1=1
FilterSizeSplit2=1
