I have a good fix that takes into account the current visibility as part of the Impostors work, but that won't be available until after the release. In the meantime, I can increase the LoD range to (say) 40km. However, there will probably be some performance penalty. What's the maximum visibility that the Local Weather package uses? -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
