Strange Shadows

You encountering a stock bug, scatterer mod can fix it or you can use this community fix, i use it and i don't see any side effects

Changes in settings.cfg:

SHADOWS_FLIGHT_PROJECTION = 0
SHADOWS_KSC_PROJECTION = 0
SHADOWS_TRACKING_PROJECTION = 0
SHADOWS_EDITORS_PROJECTION = 0
SHADOWS_MAIN_PROJECTION = 0
SHADOWS_DEFAULT_PROJECTION = 0

To:

SHADOWS_FLIGHT_PROJECTION = 1
SHADOWS_KSC_PROJECTION = 1
SHADOWS_TRACKING_PROJECTION = 1
SHADOWS_EDITORS_PROJECTION = 1
SHADOWS_MAIN_PROJECTION = 1
SHADOWS_DEFAULT_PROJECTION = 1

I checked the settings.cfg file and found that section, but the values were already set to 1. I also re-installed scatterer, as I had uninstalled it at one point trying to fix this issue, but that also did not resolve it. Do you know if there are any scatterer specific changes I can make to see if that will work?

When i look the imgur is exactly the problem i faced and those changes fixed it, in game options do you have the celestial bodies casting self shadows, 

maybe a mod overrides what scatterer does or maybe its something else but this looks exactly like the flickering shadows bug.
