please disable dynamic sun on default.

This is an issue for mappers who use prebaked lighting.

[zerver]

That may very well happen, not for the reason you suggested, but rather for performance reasons.

And then that default would be changed by user, or mappers?

I agree with Smoth, rather require a tag on new/updated maps to make use of a feature than make some old maps worse.

On shading it won't really matter much, unless your shading was very hard baked into it.

Perhaps best option is on/off toggle in the map (in which case default would be off)?

I downloaded test version and indeed get very low FPS. 10 fps in situations where I got 50 before.
/advmapshading 0 gives me back the old fps. (it still seems a bit lower but maybe thats some different settings)
But then I get no shadows at all? Is it somehow possible to have normal, non-dynamic shadows?

[luckywaldo7]

DynamicSun=0

Other settings to try for more fps are
MaxDynamicMapLights=0
MaxDynamicModelLights=0

[zerver]

Dynamic sun will absolutely not kill that much FPS, unless your graphics driver is broken. My FPS drops from 60 to maybe 58.

[knorke]

ok, will test some settings and see whats problem then.

To avoid future angst, please allow for a modoption to turn it on by default for that particular game.
