"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)."

 

 

Now this is my flightengine.ini:

What values do I need to change?? :dntknw:

 

 

[NormalSceneClip]

FarClipDistance=25000.0 <<<<<<<<<< this?? :blink:

 

NearClipDistance=249.9 <<<<<<<<<< or this?? :this:

 

 

Thanks in advance!!! :salute:

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.

Thanks for the reply, I've been using these settings, and it seems to run much better than before!!! :good:
