AGOSTINO Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Stary said: "The distance at which trees render is set by flightengine.ini variable DetailMeshSize= where defaults are 4 for low, 5 for medium and 6 for high, 7 for unlimited, values are in kilometers (single WOE tile covers 2x2 kilometers) If you have strong system you may wish to increace the DetailMeshSize= to higher number. Values like 8, 9 or 10 seems to work ok on med-high systems, but you may have to increase NearClipDistance=3000.0 under [NormalSceneClip] to avoid scene clipping issues (values like 35000, 40000 works ok)."

Panama Red Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Did you try just changing the DetailMeshsize ??? I think you will find that just doing that will show the trees at a further distance without messing with the clip distance. P.S. If you have a lot of other objects/buildings in your game, you wil find that your DetailMeshSize numbers that you show above will drag your FPS way, way down. You may need to back those number off a bit till you get the FPS you can live with. Quote
