Putting different numbers in the preferences.xml static-lod seems to do nothing at all. It really sucks that flightgear is unable to show the terrain out to the horizon for a given altitude. I searched on google and the mailing list archives about the LOD and really found nothing. If the LOD setting is going to be available in the menu bar at the top then it should have an effect so as not to befuddle would be user's of flightgear.
Does not work at all regardless of number. <static-lod> <detailed userarchive="y">9999999</detailed> <rough userarchive="y">9999999</rough> <bare userarchive="y">9999999</bare>
